Framework Sections:
Costing Points to Consider for Terminations and Suspensions (V. 1, Released April 28, 2025):
Communications from federal agencies about terminations and suspensions are inconsistent with each other and often with sponsor policies and Uniform Guidance. This section provides a review of the relevant sections of Uniform Guidance and a list of items for institutions to consider when following sponsor policies and instructions and determining best practices.
Points to Consider for Reimbursement of Expenses Under Active Grants (V.1, Released May 13, 2025)
Changes to federal payment systems, processes, and requirements implementing Executive Order 14222 — Implementing the President's "Department of Government Efficiency" Cost Efficiency, issued February 26, 2025, have significantly increased recipient and federal burden. This section delineates COGR's observations and explores potential paths to challenge the new requirements.
