Question:
My grant refers to the guidelines in the Uniform Guidance or 2 CFR 200. What is the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), and where can it find it?
Answer:
The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, also known as the “Uniform Guidance,” is the federal Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) statement of rules and regulations governing federal grants and cooperative agreements. You can review the Uniform Guidance by selecting the link below.

Note: The Uniform Guidance replaced OMB Circulars A-21, A-110, and several others, effective for awards issued after Dec. 24, 2014. Individuals responsible for managing grants and cooperative agreements awarded before that date should consult with the Sponsored Projects Office to determine which regulations currently apply to their award(s).
