The White House Office of Management and Budget in January issued a memorandum — M-25-14 — that rescinded the pause to federal funding contemplated in a previous memorandum. Over the last few months, there has been tremendous uncertainty in the grants community. What will happen to your grant portfolio? Can awarded grants legally be terminated? Does the president have authority to remove funding that has already been obligated by Congress? What actions should you be taking to evaluate and mitigate risk? Find out the answers to these critical questions in this webinar. Live attendees are eligible to receive 1.2 NASBA CPEs and/or 1.2 GPCI CEUs.
Attendees will 1) explore the current federal grant landscape with a focus on the impact on current grant portfolio, 2) learn about the actions that grant managers and leadership should engage in when an award is suspended or terminated, and 3) review the critical steps in the closeout process with a particular focus on timing and on-going responsibilities.
Attendees will receive updates of activities in the federal grant space that may impact them, guidance on how to mitigate risk, instructions on how to approach treatment of costs during suspensions and terminations, and training on closeout activities.
Who Will Benefit: Grant managers, grant accountants, leadership, program directors, principal investigators
