EVENT

The Office of Management and Budget has proposed new updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (or the Uniform Guidance, for short).  Make sure that you understand these planned, major changes to the Uniform Guidance by attending this two-hour webinar on July 1, 2026, at 2:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time.

The Uniform Guidance is likely changing again.  On May 29, the Office of Management and Budget published plans to overhaul the Uniform Guidance, and the OMB’s proposal represents a significant shift in Federal grants management and compliance expectations for grant-funded organizations.  These proposed changes would take effect on October 1, 2026, or just two years after the last comprehensive update to the Uniform Guidance.  By participating in this exclusive webinar, you will learn about the planned revisions to current rules, proposed new requirements, and what Federal financial assistance recipients and subrecipients can do to prepare.  Gain key insights into the OMB’s proposal and what the changes to the Uniform Guidance could mean for grant-funded organizations like your own.  Register today and then join your fellow grants management professionals at 2:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time on July 1, 2026, for this detailed training about the OMB’s proposed Uniform Grants Guidance update.
