New guidelines are affecting major research universities like Mississippi State. The Office of Management and Budget has streamlined the federal government’s guidance on administrative requirements, cost principles and audit requirements for federal awards through the Uniform Guidance streamlining initiative.

The release of Uniform Guidance and agency implementations impacts existing institutional policies, federal sponsor guidelines, and the terms and conditions expressed in federal awards.

The Office of Research and Economic Development at Mississippi State is hosting a one-and-a-half day seminar on Uniform Guidance on Monday [Aug. 24] and Tuesday [Aug. 25].

These sessions are designed to provide attendees important information about the changes incorporated in Uniform Guidance, and how these changes impact research administration policies and procedures, and will familiarize them with Uniform Guidance and agency implementations.
