2024 Uniform Guidance Now Applies
Starting January 16, 2025, all Department of Education grants that are subject to the Uniform Guidance will follow the 2024 revised Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements (Title 2 CFR part 200 as revised at 89 FR 30136-30208, April 22, 2024). The Department says the 2024 revision provides new flexibilities and due process protections for grantees and clarifies several grant requirements.
Drawing Funds Means You Accept New Terms
By drawing down funds under a Grant Award Notification (GAN), the grantee accepts that the award is subject to the revised Title 2 CFR part 200 (89 FR 30136-30208, April 22, 2024). The notice adds this acceptance condition to Box 10 of GANs.
No New Paper GANs; Keep Notice for Records
Grantees will not automatically receive a new printed Grant Award Notice; the updated Box 10 and this Federal Register notice supersede any previous GAN or notice that applied an earlier version of the Uniform Guidance. Grantees are not required to take any action other than continuing to draw down funds, but are encouraged to keep a copy of this notice in their grant files for documentation and auditing.
