EVENT

The Uniform Grants Guidance (also known as the “OMB Super Circular”) is changing! The Office of Management and Budget has finalized its long-anticipated revisions to the Uniform Guidance and recently published its first comprehensive update of the grants management rules since the Super Circular was originally issued back in 2013.  Most of the changes take effect on November 12, 2020, but a couple are already in effect.  Changes are found throughout the Uniform Guidance.  Affected provisions include the definitions, procurement standards, award requirements, closeout procedures, termination authority, indirect cost rates, and cost principles–to name just a few.  “Understanding the Revised Uniform Grants Guidance” will explain in detail the key revisions to the Uniform Guidance and what they mean for grant-funded organizations.  By participating in this special two-hour webinar, you will learn what you (and your organization) need to know to comply with the updated Uniform Guidance.  Make your plans today to join fellow grants management professionals on September 2, 2020, for “Understanding the Revised Uniform Grants Guidance.”
