Federal Grant Terms

Virtually all federal grants and cooperative agreements incorporate terms and conditions modeled on

OMB Circular A-110 for administrative requirements, and

OMB Circular A-21 for rules governing allowable costs.

Most agencies also have specific grant requirements. Some examples are:

NIH Grants Policy Statement
HHS Grants Policy Statement (for non-NIH DHHS agencies)
NSF Grant Award Terms (GC-1) and Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide
NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook
Dept. of Education EDGAR
