APPLICATION TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR $5,000 AND ABOVE

The information requested upon this Independent Contractor Application form is used to allow the Research Foundation to make a proper determination if the worker can be classified as an Independent Contractor under the IRS guidelines for determining worker status. No Contractor may begin work until an Independent Contractor Agreement has been executed by the Contractor and the Research Foundation.

Please do not use this form for Independent Contractor Agreements less than $5,000. Instead please submit as an MOU at CUNY SPS ICA under $5,000.


Please allow 1-3 business days for the SPS Grants Office to process your request. RFCUNY Legal review typically takes 3-4 weeks from when the Grants Office submits your contract request.
