Drexel Joins FDP Expanded Clearinghouse
February 26, 2018
Drexel has joined the FDP Expanded Clearinghouse, an online public database of entity profiles used in lieu of subrecipient commitment forms to obtain general institutional information needed by pass-through entities when they are issuing subawards or monitoring subrecipient entities. Data included on each published entity profile has been certified correct by an applicable institutional official and includes data related to audits, facilities and administrative rates, fringe benefit rates, conflict of interest policy, human and animal compliance, a wide variety of federal codes (DUNS, EIN, etc.), and much more. Project specific exchanges of data (such as an IRB approval, Statement of Work or budget) may still be shared between the pass-through entity and the subrecipient. The Office of Research is currently revising its forms and procedures related to collecting and providing subrecipient institutional information. Updated guidance will be shared with the research community shortly.
