Understanding the New Uniform Grants Regulation: Preparing for the 2026 Changes to 2 CFR 200
Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
For years, federal grants professionals have relied on Uniform Guidance as the foundation for managing federal awards.
Now, that foundation is changing.
OMB’s proposed revisions to 2 CFR 200 represent the most significant overhaul of the federal grants framework in years. Along with renaming Uniform Guidance as the Uniform Grants Regulation, the proposal introduces updates that could affect administrative requirements, cost principles, oversight responsibilities, internal controls, and day-to-day grants management across federal agencies, recipients, pass-through entities, institutions of higher education, nonprofits, and tribal organizations.
Understanding these changes before they become operational expectations can help organizations evaluate policies, identify potential impacts, and prepare thoughtfully for implementation.
Join Management Concepts and grants expert Terence Sullivan for a practical discussion that translates the proposed revisions into plain language and explores what they could mean for grants professionals responsible for maintaining compliance and supporting mission delivery.
Rather than navigating hundreds of pages of regulatory language on your own, you’ll gain a practical understanding of what is changing, what remains the same, and where organizations should begin evaluating potential impacts.
During this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- Why OMB is replacing Uniform Guidance with the Uniform Grants Regulation
- The proposed timeline from rulemaking through implementation
- Key updates affecting administrative requirements, cost principles, and oversight
- Practical implications for policies, procedures, internal controls, and grants operations
- Common areas organizations should begin evaluating now
- Practical ways to prepare while the rulemaking process continues
Whether you work for a federal awarding agency, recipient organization, pass-through entity, institution of higher education, nonprofit, or tribal organization, this session will help you better understand one of the most significant federal grants developments in years.
