I suspect, given that pharma companies are involved in the study despite the concurrent NIH funding, they want the companies involved to provide at least some of the resources.

Institutions want to make sure they retain rights for any resulting novel discoveries. They may just be waiting on the contract to be approved, and are assuming it will be done by Jan 1.
