Management
Multiple Campus AwardsMultiple Campus Awards
In this module we will learn about Multiple Campus Awards. What they are, how they are established and administratively and fiscally managed.

ObjectivesAfter completing this module you will…
• Understand what is a Multiple Campus Award (MCA)
• Understand how an MCA differs from a subaward or subcontract

Definitions and Acronyms Used in this Module
• Subaward or subcontract agreement = sub and/or agreement
• Subrecipient or Subcontractor = Sub• Multiple Campus Award = MCA• Non-UC sub = a sub issued to an entity
that is not another UC campus• UC-sub = a sub issued to another UC
campus
Because the way this module is formatted, we needed to abbreviate terms and use acronyms.

This slide illustrates the difference between an MCA and a Subaward or Subcontract ProposalFor a subaward or subcontract proposal that is not going to another UC Campus:
Sub prepares proposal with budget that has their full and appropSub prepares proposal with budget that has their full and appropriate F&Ariate F&A and submits their proposal package to the UCLA PIThe UCLA PI incorporates the Sub’s full cost into the prime budget and assess F&A on the first $25,000 of the SubThe Department submits the proposal package to OCGA.OCGA reviews the prime proposal (especially the budget and, time permitting, the subs budget.) The proposal is then submitted to the sponsor
At the proposal stage, the only difference between UC and Non-UC subs is that UCLA does not assess F&A on any of the UC sub’s budget. We assess the F&A on the first $25,000 for each sub except UC subs. The other UC still budgets F&A for itself, but UCLA does not assess F&A on top of that because, in the end, it’s all Regent’s money.
8
UCSB Budget
UCSB requests its full and appropriate F&A
UCSB total costs are included in UCLA’s budget
Here is an example of a proposal budget from a UC sub. You will see that the UC sub requests its full and appropriate F&A. UCLA then includes the UC sub’s total costs in the UCLA budget.
9
UCLA Budget
F&A is assessed on first 25K of sub to USC, and none assessed on sub to UCSB
Here you see where and how the UC sub’s total costs are inserted into the UCLA proposal budget. F&A is assessed on the first $25,000 of the sub to USC, and none is assessed on the sub to the sister campus.
10
Subs in S2S Grants Because S2S automatically assesses F&A on first 25,000 for each Sub, it is necessary to overwrite this field with a “0” for any UC Subs
Because S2S automatically assesses F&A on the first $25,000 for each sub, it is necessary to overwrite this field with a zero for any UC subs.

In this slide, we see that at the award stage, the processing for UC and non-UC subs is the nearly the same.

Instead, the department will asks EFM to reallocate funds from Sub 8 into a 1198 Receivable Account.

The funds for the UC sub appear in the 1198XX Receivable Account in the General Ledger.

14
Establishing an MCA
• PI/Department sends to OCGA:– Sponsor name and award number– Prime campus PI and department– Participating campus PI and department– Subaward amount (Direct and F&A)– Performance period – Budget– Any special terms & conditions– Cost sharing (if applicable)
Here is a list of items that the PI or his/her department should send to OCGA when requesting that an MCA be prepared and submitted to another UC campus
15
Sample MCA from UCLA to UCB
Ms. Baldwin is in the UCB’s Sponsored Projects Office, which is the equivalent of UCLA’s OCGA
Here is a sample MCA, a copy of which can be retrieved from the Resources tab.

Differences between an MCA and a Subaward or Subcontract - Monitoring Stage

If PI is dissatisfied with work progress of the sub, s/he has some measure of control by not progress of the sub, s/he has some measure of control by not approving all or part of the invoices submitted by the subapproving all or part of the invoices submitted by the sub
Monitoring a Non-UC Sub
Monitoring a UC Sub (MCA)
One must exercise a bit more diligence in monitoring a sub to a UC sister campus than to a non-UC sub.Non UC sub invoices are reviewed and approved by the PI prior to being submitted to Accounts Payable for payment. If the PI is dissatisfied with the work progress of the sub, s/he has some measure of control by not approving all or part of the invoices submitted by the sub.
On the other hand, MCA requests for reimbursement via the Intercampus Reimbursement Request (IRR) go directly to EFM.
Therefore, the department needs to monitor the reimbursements to UC subs by reviewing the 1198XX Receivable Account. It is not unreasonable to request a copy of the UC Sub’s general ledgers for documentation. If the PI is dissatisfied with the work progress by the UC Sub, EFM should be contacted and asked that no further reimbursements (IRRs) be processed without the PI’s prior approval.
17
MCA Post-Award
• It is critical that the department monitor IRR transactions monthly via Receivables Account as a means to monitor the work being performed by the UC Sub
• Recommend the department establish a contact with their UC Sub counterpart and keep in touch through-out life of the sub
• EFM and OCGA can provide assistance when needed

Sample Intercampus Request for
Reimbursement (IRR) from UC Davis to UCLA
Here is an example of an IRR. You see that the Fund Manager at the UC Davis Extramural Fund Accounting office sent the IRR to the Fund Manager in UCLA’s Extramural Fund Management Office. There is no cc: to the UCLA PI on these IRRs.

Differences between an MCA and a Subaward or Subcontract – Administrative Close-out
Dept/PI acquires required non-fiscal final reports such as technical, equipment, patent, etc. from the sub and incorporates the sub’s reports into PI’s reports
PI submits reports to the Sponsor
Administratively closing a non-UC Sub
Administratively closing a UC Sub (MCA)
Dept/PI acquires required non-fiscal final reports such as technical, equipment, patent, etc. from the suband incorporates the sub’s reports into PI’s reports
PI submits reports to the Sponsor PI submits reports to the Sponsor
The administrative close-out for a non-UC sub and a UC sub is the same. That is, the department acquires the required non-fiscal final reports which may include technical, equipment, patent from the subrecipient and incorporates those reports into the PI’s reports . The PI submits the report(s) to the sponsor.
22
Differences between an MCA and a Subaward or Subcontract - Fiscal Close-out
By date specified in MCA, Dept. ensures that UC Sub submits the final IRR (marked as such) to EFM and requests a copy of the IRR for Dept’s review
Dept. reviews final IRR and any requested documentation, confirming with PI acceptability of UC Sub’s performance
Unless PI/Dept. notifies Unless PI/Dept. notifies EFM of any outstanding EFM of any outstanding issues or discrepancies, issues or discrepancies, EFM processes final IRR EFM processes final IRR and deobligates any and deobligates any unexpended balanceunexpended balance
Closing out a non-UC Sub
Closing out a UC Sub (MCA)
Dept/PI acquires from Sub the final invoice (marked as such)
PI reviews final invoice and signs if found acceptable. Dept. performs receiving in BruinBuy and submits final invoice to Accounts Payable for processing
Accounts Payable reviews final invoice and if found compliant, processes payment
There are differences in the fiscal close-out between a non-UC sub and a UC sub.
For a non-UC sub. Department/PI acquires from the Sub the final invoice, makred as such. The PI reviews final invoice and signs if found acceptable. Dept. performs receiving in BruinBuy and submits final invoice to Accounts Payable for processing. Accounts Payable reviews final invoice and if found compliant, processes payment.
For the UC Sub: Dept. ensures that UC Sub submits the final IIR (marked as such) to EFM and requests a copy of the IRR for Dept’s review. Dept. reviews final IRR and any requested documentation, confirming with PI acceptability of UC Sub’s performance. Unless PI/Dept. notifies EFM of any outstanding issues or discrepancies, EFM processes final IRR and deobligates any unexpended balance

Preparation and submission of the the appropriate Sub Closeappropriate Sub Close--out out Certificate to designated Certificate to designated ee--fax or emailfax or email
Upon receipt of the Close-out Certificate, Purchasing closes the PO and releases any encumbrance
EFM deobligates any unexpended balance
There is one final step for the non-UC sub fiscal close out, and that is the preparation and submission of the appropriate sub close-out certificate to the designated efax or email. Upon receipt of the close-out certificate, Purchasing closes the PO and releases any encumbrance. EFM then deobligates any unexpended balance.

In Summary
• A Multiple Campus Award is a subaward issued by UCLA to another UC Campus
• The set-up, administrative, and fiscal management of an MCA differs from a non-UC sub– Set up is done by OCGA Officer/Analyst
• Not the Subaward Administrator or Purchasing– Billing is done via an Intercampus Request for Reimbursement (IRR)
from the sister campus’ accounting office to EFM• Not via an invoice submitted by the subrecipient to the PI
– Reimbursement is done by EFM via an intercampus transfer of funds• Not by the review and approval of a subrecipient’s invoice that is submitted
to Accounts Payable for processing• Extra diligence must be exercised by the PI/Department to ensure
work is being performed satisfactorily and that expenditures arereasonable, allowable and allocable
