SRS Quarterly BA Meeting December 16, 2014 Welcome 9/21/2018 SRS Quarterly BA Meeting December 16, 2014 Welcome Sep-18

Uniform Administrative Requirements 2 CFR Chapter I, Chapter II, Part 200 The Uniform Guidance is the culmination of a two-year effort by the government to harmonize and streamline administration of federal assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements). It combines eight previous OMB circulars covering the areas of administrative requirements, cost principles and audit requirements. In addition to addressing the administration’s goal of a government that is more efficient, effective and transparent, the Uniform Guidance also seeks to reduce waste, abuse and burden in the administration of grants and other federal assistance awards The Uniform Guidance will be effective December 26, 2014, with the exception of Audit Requirements (July 2015 for UC) and Purchasing (July 2017 for UC).

Some Area’s effected by the changes: 1. Allowable/Unallowable Costs 2. Procurement 3. Sub awards 4. Facilities & Administrative Costs 5. Prior Approvals Pre-award: Mandatory Disclosures 6. Internal Control 7. Financial Management and Reporting

Costs must be allowable, reasonable and allocable to the project. The following direct cost items have significant changes to the treatment when charging federal awards under the Uniform Guidance: • Participant support: Clarifies the treatment and definition of participant support costs as costs for training or conferences for participants who are not employees. (no F&A) • Computing devices: Classifies computing devices as part of materials and supplies. Now allows flexibility in charging these costs when they are necessary but not solely dedicated to an award. • Administrative and clerical salaries: Removes the major project determination and allows for charging with prior approval when specific conditions are met. • Compensation – personal services: Emphasizes internal controls in the standards for documentation of personnel expenses. Systems for documentation must provide reasonable assurance that charges are accurate, allowable and properly allocated. • Publication and printing: Provides flexibility to charge publication costs incurred after the period of performance but before the final closeout of the project. (still must meet reporting deadline!)

Procurement

Subawards The fixed amount awards language in §200.201(b) is new to the Uniform Guidance and was not included in the previous circular. Estimated still must be reasonable! Large balances will need to be returned. New FDP templates are in the works. Sub Monitoring requirements updated.

Facilities and Administrative Costs Uniform Guidance makes the application of federally negotiated F&A rates mandatory by federal agencies and flow-through entities. Pass-through entities are explicitly required to honor other entity’s F&A rates or the new 10% de minimis rate for entities without a rate agreement

Prior Approvals New or revised circumstances requiring prior approval: §200.306 Cost sharing or matching §200.307 Program income §200.308 Revision of budget and program plans §200.332 Fixed amount subawards §200.430 Compensation—personal services §200.431 Compensation—fringe benefits §200.438 Entertainment costs §200.439 Equipment and other capital expenditures §200.440 Exchange rates Exchange rates §200.442 Fund raising and investment management costs §200.445 Goods or services for personal use §200.454 Memberships, subscriptions, and professional activity costs §200.456 Participant support costs Sep-18

Internal Control “Internal Control” is one of the most frequently repeated phrases in the Uniform Guidance. In the previous circulars, Internal Controls was mainly cited as an audit requirement in A-133, often considered by entities only after the funds had been spent. In the Uniform Guidance, OMB clearly emphasizes the importance of Internal Controls, by defining them, clearly identifying source documentation for best practices, and including internal controls in the post award management standard requirements.

Financial Management and Reporting To help strengthen federal agency policies on closeout, in addition to clarifying language that the nonfederal entity has 90 calendar days from the end date of the performance period to submit all final reports (FFR, Equipment, etc.) To better mitigate risks of waste, fraud, and abuse, required certification language includes specific language acknowledging the statutory consequences of false certification, which must be signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the non-federal entity.

Certification for Authorized Organizational Representative By signing these certifications, I certify that the statements made herein are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief; and I agree to comply with any resulting terms if I accept an award. I am aware that any false, fictitious. or fraudulent statements or claims may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties. (U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 1001)

Financial Management and Reporting Closeout: UC must complete final reporting, invoicing, and cash draws within 90 days of the end of the performance period or risk not being able to recover funds expended. Meeting the 90 day deadline can be very challenging for departments especially when managing payments to subrecipients. Remember, our agreements require a final after 45 days. Sep-18

Significant Changes to the PAPPG Chapter II.C.2.g, Budget and Budget Justification, has been modified to reflect that the applicable cost principles may be found in 2 CFR § 200, Subpart E Chapter II.C.2.g(i)(b), Administrative and Clerical Salaries & Wages Policy, has been revised to reflect the conditions under which inclusion of administrative and clerical staff salaries may be appropriate on a proposal budget. Sep-18

Significant Changes to the PAPPG Cont. Chapter II.C.2.g(iv), Travel, has been revised to state that all travel (both domestic and foreign) must now be justified. Additionally, temporary dependent care costs above and beyond regular dependent care that directly result from travel to conferences are allowable costs provided that the conditions established in 2 CFR § 200.474 are met. Finally, the definition of what constitutes domestic travel has been revised. Chapter II.C.2.g(v), Participant Support, has been clarified to reflect that any additional categories of participant support costs other than those described in 2 CFR § 200.75 (such as incentives, gifts, souvenirs, t-shirts and memorabilia), must be justified in the budget justification, and such costs will be closely scrutinized by NSF. Funds provided for participant support may not be used for other categories of expense without specific prior NSF written approval. Such requests must be submitted electronically via use of NSF’s electronic systems. Sep-18

Significant Changes to the PAPPG Cont. Chapter II.C.2.g(vi)(a), Materials and Supplies, includes coverage on costs of computing devices. Clarification on when a computing device is considered a supply is provided. The charging of computing devices as a direct cost is allowable for devices that are essential and allocable, but not solely dedicated, to the performance of the NSF award. Chapter II.C.2..(vi)(c), Consultant Services, clarifies that costs of professional and consultant services are allowable when reasonable in relation to the services rendered and when not contingent upon recovery of costs from the Federal government. All contracts made under an NSF award must contain the applicable provisions identified in 2 CFR § 200 Appendix II. Chapter II.C.2.g, Budget and Budget Justification, has been revised to reflect that the budget justification for the proposing organization must be no more than three pages. For proposals that contain a subaward(s), each subaward must include a separate budget justification of no more than three pages. Sep-18

Significant Changes to the PAPPG Cont. Chapter II.B.2, Changes in PI/PD, co-PI/co-PD, or Person-Months Devoted to the Project, has been revised to remove the requirement to notify NSF of the short-term absence of the PI/PD or co-PI/co-PD. This requirement has been eliminated as it goes beyond what is stipulated in the Uniform Guidance, which addresses PI disengagements of 90 days or longer. Chapter V.D, Indirect Costs, provides updated guidance on NSF’s expectations regarding indirect cost rate recovery. Sep-18

Grant E160 Update New system has 30 character limit for name. We have started to limit the current grant names to 30 or less to make the conversion to the new system easier. We will start to use abbreviations to save space for grant names Sep-18

Standard Abbreviations: BookSch Book Scholarship Sep-18

COUES TO UC FLEX On track to be ready for testing at the beginning of March! We will begin to work with a division in Medicine and go from there. Once new processes have been established and worked out, we will role out to more areas. Need to have budgets in COEUS for budgets to get into UC Flex.

Any Questions??????? Sep-18

SRS wishes everyone…. Sep-18
