Upcoming dates:
OMB’s proposed revisions to 2 CFR 200 represent the most significant overhaul of the federal grants framework in years. Along with renaming Uniform Guidance as the Uniform Grants Regulation, the proposal introduces updates that could affect administrative requirements, cost principles, oversight responsibilities, internal controls, and day-to-day grants management across federal agencies, recipients, pass-through entities, institutions of higher education, nonprofits, and tribal organizations. Understanding these changes before they become operational expectations can help organizations evaluate policies, identify potential impacts, and prepare thoughtfully for implementation. Join Management Concepts and grants expert Terence Sullivan for a free practical discussion that translates the proposed revisions into plain language and explores what they could mean for grants professionals responsible for maintaining compliance and supporting mission delivery. *Live date may be postponed pending release of guidance
