Impacts of COVID-19: Federal Grants & Contracts
This webinar will cover how Federal grants are different from Federal contracts and how this difference impacts the way each is managed. It will highlight the flexibility provided by the OMB, updates for the University’s largest Federal sponsors, such as NIH and NSF, and the University’s own Pandemic Policy.
Participants will get a broad overview of how to manage each type of funding source if their project is impacted by COVID-19 and resources and guidance on how to work with OSR to communicate any impacts to their sponsors.
