Sub-Project Protocol: Overview

Applicability

Refer to this protocol if:

1. A region or program funds a distinct portion or sub-project of a larger project (aka parent project) or a distinct product of project supported by another region or program, see Sub-Project of FWS Region or Program Project.
2. A FWS region or program funds a distinct portion of a CASC project or vice-versa, see Sub-Project of CASC Project.

In this case, the funding information should only be entered in a project metadata record once. If the funding for a sub-project is distributed separately, then it can be included in the sub-project metadata. Otherwise, if the sub-project was funded from a parent project and the funding allocation is not distinctly identified, then all the funding information should be included in the parent project metadata. Funding allocations should NOT be duplicated in multiple metadata records.
