USG Grant Regs–Prep for Major Changes Coming
On December 26, 2014 published the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR part 200) to consolidate and streamline guidance for uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for federal awards. It consolidates grant guidance for all federal departments and agencies. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.109 the guidance must be reviewed every five years.

Changes also include revisions to clarify areas of misinterpretation received from the public comment period.
