EVENT

Learn about the Office of Management and Budget’s big changes to the Uniform Grants Guidance when you register for the full-day “Mastering the Revised Uniform Grants Guidance Boot Camp” online training on November 10, 2020, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm Eastern Standard Time. 

Make sure that you and your organization are staying up-to-date with grants management requirements.  In August, the Office of Management and Budget published the first comprehensive revision of the Uniform Grants Guidance (also commonly known as the “OMB Super Circular”) since 2013.  However, the OMB did not give grant-funded organizations long to prepare for these updated grants management rules, as most most of the changes take effect on November 12, 2020.  (A few are already in effect.)  Changes and new provisions can be found in the Super Circular’s definitions, procurement standards, award requirements, closeout procedures, termination grounds, indirect cost rules, and cost principles–and these are just some of the more significant revisions.  When you attend the “Mastering the Revised Uniform Grants Guidance Boot Camp,” you will learn about the major changes to the Uniform Guidance and what your organization must do to ensure that it remains in compliance with Federal grant rules.  You will also learn about important related developments affecting grant compliance.  Register today for this in-depth online training, and join us on November 10, 2020, starting at 9:30 am EST (8:30 am CST), to master the revised Uniform Grants Guidance.

TOPICS

The “Mastering the Revised Uniform Grants Guidance Boot Camp” will explain the OMB’s comprehensive updates to the Uniform Guidance to ensure that you and your organization understand these important changes.  Among the key topics that will be discussed during this full-day training are the following:

• Changes to the Super Circular’s methods of procurement and other procurement standards;

• Revisions of rules for pass-through entities;
• New grounds for termination of awards;
