Uniform Guidance Revisions – The Sequel and Under New Management
On April 04, 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration announced the publication of the final revisions to the OMB’s Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR. It proclaimed that “these changes will allow agencies and recipients of Federal funds to focus more time and money on delivering meaningful results for the American people.” The COFFA issued supplementary information to assist agencies with implementation on August 15, 2024, and corrections were published on October 1st, 2024, and included in the final version effective October 1, 2024. See links below.
The “extreme makeover” of the Uniform Guidance results in revisions of 69 out of 191 sections (or 36 percent) from its 2020 edition. With the effective date of October 1, 2024, some of the revisions have become effective but most of the administrative and accounting revisions become effective on July 1, 2025, for most research institutions (the first fiscal year starting after October 1, 2024).
On January 20, 2025, a new Administration made its start in the Nation’s Capital and issued 26 Executive Orders (E.Os) to reshape the Nation landscape. The first E.O. rescinded many previous policies. We will explore any impacts of the E.O.s on the Uniform Guidance revisions and overall grant management.
This session will discuss the significant revisions to Title 2 (Office of Management and Budget Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance), its impacts on research institutions, and how institutions are implementing. It will highlight any impact of the Executive Orders on the Uniform Guidance. Participants will have an opportunity to share and to ask questions of the presenters and other participants.
