2026 Proposed Changes to Uniform Guidance
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)鈥痯ublished a in the Federal Register that would substantially revise鈥2 C.F.R. Part 200, commonly referred to as the 鈥淯niform Guidance鈥, which applies to federal grants, cooperative agreements and other types of federal assistance funding.
If finalized, the proposed rule would鈥痵ignificantly鈥痠mpact鈥痶he management of federal awards.鈥 It would change what is now 鈥済uidance鈥 to binding 鈥渞egulation鈥 which would be adopted across all federal agencies. These proposed revisions would greatly impact areas such as how to apply for federal funding, how award decisions are made, what would be considered allowable costs, who researchers can collaborate with, and would provide the government with expanded rights for termination of awards.
91社区 is working closely with SUNY System Administration, as well as with organizations like the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) and the Council on Government Relations (COGR), to review the proposed revisions and corresponding with how the changes could affect our institution and our research mission. We will continue to keep the University community informed of any impacts of the proposed changes.
