The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), working cooperatively with federal agencies and
non-federal parties, establishes government-wide grants
management policies and guidelines through circulars and
common rules. These policies are adopted by each grantmaking
agency and inserted into their federal regulations. Relevant
circulars include:
A-110, "Uniform Administrative Requirements
for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations"
(dated 11/19/93, amended 9/30/99) http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a110/a110.html
