January 6, 2003 National Council of University Research Administrators A-110 for Departmental Administrators January 27, 2003 Student Center Small Theater Sponsored by the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration What is OMB Circular A-110 and why should departmental administrators know or care? This circular provides the basis for the administrative requirements associated with federal grants and cooperative agreements awarded to colleges, universities, and other non-profit organizations. A-110 is the fundamental building block on which nearly all federal grant regulations and policies are built. So, what difference does it make to departmental administrators? As the individuals on the front line in administering federal grant and cooperative agreements, departmental administrators need to "know the territory" if they are going to be effective in this aspect of their job. This includes understanding the basic rules for managing federal grants and recognizing the relationship between the government-wide requirements and the agency-specific variations on those requirements. This workshop presents a thorough review of A-110, with special emphasis given to those aspects of the circular that have the most relevance for departmental administrators at grantee institutions. The program features lively discussion and active participation. Short case studies will be used to illustrate key issues. Faculty
