No, you are not able to submit more than one research proposal per cycle. You are, however, able to start multiple applications within the portal before finalizing your proposal submission.
The award from Gilead Sciences is an industry-sponsored award and is considered a gift rather than a traditional research grant. However, tax treatment can vary depending on your country’s regulations and your institution’s policies. It is recommended you consult your institution’s finance or tax office to understand how this award will be treated for tax purposed in your specific information.
A subcontract involves (i) the awardee institution engaging a third party purely as a service provider to support the project (e.g., lab work, data analysis, etc.), where the awardee retains full control over the work, (ii) awardee institution is making payment to the third party for services, and all results and intellectual property flow back through the awardee. This should be noted in your application submission both in your budget proposal, and a letter of collaboration between your institution and the proposed third party. These documents are submitted within the application portal.
Subawards involve the awardee institution passing through a portion of the grant funding to the third party institution to carry out a substantive portion of the research, and cannot be funded with the Gilead RSP award.
A subcontract involves (i) the awardee institution engaging a third party purely as a service provider to support the project (e.g., lab work, data analysis, etc.), where the awardee retains full control over the work, (ii) awardee institution is making payment to the third party for services, and all results and intellectual property flow back through the awardee. By contrast, a subaward involves the awardee institution passing through a portion of the grant funding to the third party institution to carry out a substantive portion of the research, with that third party institution having independent responsibility for its work and often its own rights in data, publications, or intellectual property—effectively creating a separate research relationship that sits outside the direct contractual relationship of the awardee and Gilead.
