This form is required for use by the School of Medicine. We cannot use the OSR Form 49 because the SoM form has questions regarding human and animal subjects and discusses cost sharing.
For federal grants that fall under Expanded Authorities (e.g. NIH, NSF, DOE, DOD, Army) , complete Sections A and B and return to your RPM for review and approval (via email is ok).
For other grants that do not fall under Expanded Authorities, complete Section A. Return the signed form to your RPM with the letter being sent to the sponsor.

SU-18a Form

For non-Stanford employees (i.e., visitors) who come here to engage in research while remaining employed by someone else, there is an alternative agreement, the SU-18A, which provides for joint rights between Stanford and the non-Stanford employer.  These individuals may come to Stanford in the role of a consulting or collaborating researcher, and while they are here, they are not paid by Stanford nor are they enrolled in any category of student.

All faculty, staff, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are required to sign a Patent and Copyright Agreement (the SU-18 form, signed electronically in Axess) as a condition of either employment or enrollment at Stanford University.

Subrecipient Audit Forms

The OSR Form 47: Audit Letter sent to Subrecipients, Audit Certification, and Financial Status Questionnaire is used to assist Stanford in meeting its subaward monitoring requirements under the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133 and under Stanford’s own subreicpient monitoring policy.

In general, subrecipients receiving federal funds through Stanford are sent both forms. Subreicpients receiving funds from non-federal sources are sent just Form 47 to complete and return. The forms have been revised to solicit information from subrecipients’ most recently completed fiscal year, and data that will support Stanford’s reporting obligations under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) and certain IRS requirements.
