EVENT

This is the easy-to-understand guide to the Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Grants Guidance that you wanted!  Learn about the key requirements of the Uniform Guidance when you participate in this special, two-hour webinar on August 3, 2022, at 2:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time.  Register today to make sure that your organization remains up-to-date with Federal grants management requirements. 

The Uniform Grants Guidance (also known as the “OMB Super Circular”) contains the basic rules for managing Federal grants and subawards.  These rules have evolved over time, and the Office of Budget and Management completed a comprehensive overhaul of the Uniform Guidance while most grant-funded organizations were still adapting to the pandemic.  Make sure that you understand current requirements and are in compliance with the updated Uniform Guidance.  The “Understanding the OMB’s Uniform Grants Guidance” webinar will not only explain the major changes to the Uniform Guidance but will also cover important compliance requirements.  By participating in this special two-hour training, you will learn what you (and your organization) need to know to comply with the Uniform Guidance.  During the webinar, you will learn about pre-award considerations, key definitions, post-award requirements (including fiscal management, recordkeeping, property management, and procurement), and the cost principles.  Make your plans today to join your fellow grants management professionals at 2:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time on August 3, 2022, for “Understanding the OMB’s Uniform Grants Guidance.”
