Through numerous executive orders and grantor agency directives, the Trump Administration has initiated actions to reduce or cap indirect costs on lots of existing grants. The president has even instructed federal agencies to consider favoring organizations with low indirect cost rates in the selection process for new awards.
So, it’s no surprise that the pushback from the impacted recipient community has been strong and swift. And, unfortunately, the rhetoric surrounding the controversies has been more confusing than clarifying. So, with the federal fiscal year coming to a close, what is the actual “state of play” on federal policies for indirect cost recovery?
This webinar will identify, analyze and evaluate the current requirements regarding claiming indirect costs, the recent actions that have taken place, and those that are pending or being appealed. We’ll look at how the current and likely future requirements will affect your organization, and cover:
- What the Office of Management and Budget uniform guidance actually requires
- The policy shift taking place at OMB
- The standard content and reliability of federally negotiated indirect cost rate agreements
- Use of low indirect cost rates as criteria for grant application success
- Unilateral imposition of the de minimis indirect cost rate
- Current and possible future policies on full termination of existing grants
- The “ripple effect” of federal indirect cost policy changes on subrecipients
