Uniform Guidance at Ƶ

A Commitment to Excellence in Research Administration

What is the Uniform Guidance?

ճUniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) is a federal regulation that sets consistent rules for managing sponsored research funding. It promotes transparency, accountability, and effective use of funds.

While originally created for federal grants, these principles are now widely recognized as best practices for all types of awards—federal, state, private, or industry.

Why Ƶ Applies It Across All Awards

At Ƶ, we apply Uniform Guidance principles across all research and sponsored projectsٴ:

  • Բܰfairness and consistency in managing research funds
  • Reduce the risk of audit findings
  • ʰDZclear expectations for faculty and staff
  • Align with national best practices in research administration

What’s New in the 2024 Update?

Effective October 1, 2024, several changes make compliance easier:

  • Equipment threshold increased to $10,000
  • Simplified procurement requirements
  • Clarified guidance for subawards and indirect costs

Our Shared Commitment

Applying these practices consistently supports:

  • Faculty success and fewer administrative hurdles
  • Stronger internal controls for leadership
  • Audit-ready processes for accounting partners

Additional Resources

We understand that change can be challenging. The Office of Sponsored Programs is here to help—with practical tools, personalized support, and a collaborative approach.
