Subcontracts may be issued to Individuals (Consultants), Universities, and Businesses. UAH undergraduate students may not receive subcontracts. A GRA / GTA may not receive a subcontract while holding a GRA / GTA appointment with the University. A graduate student who does not hold a GRA / GTA appointment can receive a subcontract in some special instances.
