Regulations governing federal research
OMB Uniform Guidance
34
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
• Used by federal agencies in contracting for supplies and services
• Codifies uniform policies for such acquisitions
• Some clauses undermine the university’s fundamental research exemption and subject us to onerous export controls
35
Uniform Guidance (UG) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles,
and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
• Revises: A-21, A-110, A-133 • Combines with: A-102, A-89, A-87, A-122 • Effective: December 2014
Technical corrections are being considered and will be
Incorporated into the final guidance.
36
Uniform Guidance Section 200.402-406
Factors affecting allowability of costs: necessary, reasonable, allocable,
allowable, and consistently applied
Section 200.420 - 475 General provisions for selected items of
cost
Section 200.413(c) Direct charging of administrative or
clerical staff salaries may be appropriate under certain conditions
Section 200.430
Compensation for personal services
A21 Sub-part E - Cost Principles
37
Uniform Guidance
• A-110 has been incorporated throughout the UG - most notably in Section 200.300 - 200.345
• Procurement is included in this section – the guidance allowed for, and the university elected to defer implementation for one fiscal year.
A-110 - Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Other Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals and Other Non-Profit Organizations
38
Uniform Guidance
A-133 - Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations
• Internal controls originally in A-133 – now appear throughout the Uniform Guidance with greater emphasis
• For our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015 • Subrecipient monitoring moved to 200.330 – 200.332 – requires
additional certification, documented monitoring practices, and more active PI participation.
Moved to Subpart F (Section 200.500 – 200.521)
