Reinvention of GMAS Subagreements

January 27, 2023

GMAS Subagreement Enhancement: Monday, February 27, 2023

The GMAS Subagreement Workflow enhancements are now available.  From this point forward, Departments requesting subagreement and subamendment drafts should do so in GMAS, rather than emailing their Central Office. If you have any questions, please contact Angie Suriel at asuriel@hsph.harvard.edu.

All subagreement requests received prior to Monday, February 27th will be entered by the Subagreement Team. Any subagreement requests beginning on Monday, February 27th should be entered in GMAS by the Departments.

Important Information for Anyone Working with Subagreements

Dear Colleagues,

The GMAS Team and Subagreement Committee are working together to reinvent the subagreement process, with a release date of February 27, 2023.

The new subagreement process will:

  • Enhance communication features in GMAS
  • Create a workflow that supports each role involved with subagreements
  • Provide visibility into the steps of the new GMAS supported subagreement workflow (i.e., subagreement dashboard)
  • Improve “findability” of subagreement documents in the GMAS document repositories

These process changes are the result of ongoing Subagreement Committee meetings, design sessions, and feedback from more than 20 outreach sessions with representatives from across the university. Specific training sessions for Central Office and Department users to be held. Save the date and register in advance GMAS Subagreement Training for Departments  February 16, 2023, 2:00PM, held at the University Research Management Meeting (RMM). Also refer to the Fishbowl slides from January 10, 2023: Fishbowl Tuesday: GMAS Subagreement Module Roadshow Slides
