Recent revisions to the Uniform Guidance and subsequent Executive Orders have reshaped the federal grant environment, creating new compliance expectations, funding uncertainties, and operational pressures for colleges and universities. Business officers and research administrators must assess the financial and stewardship implications for indirect cost recovery, award management, and institutional risk. This session will provide a practical update on recent and anticipated Office of Management and Budget actions, agency implementation trends, and the proposed Joint Associations Group FAIR model. Presenters will translate federal developments into actionable considerations for institutional budgeting, cost allocation practices, and strategic planning in 2026.   

Learning Objectives  

  • Outline institutional approaches to direct and indirect costing practices. 
  • Interpret current federal costing guidance, regulatory positions, and proposed policy changes affecting grant management.  
  • Apply insights from expert discussion to strengthen institutional stewardship, compliance, and cost recovery practices.
