SRA/OMB – Sponsored Research Accounting (SRA) is pleased to share Office of Management & Budget (OMB) memorandum that provides short term relief for administrative, financial management, and audit requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, without compromising Federal financial assistance accountability requirements. This document addresses 13 areas of concern that are worth reviewing.  Continue to regularly review the Princeton COVID-19 FAQs and other sponsor guidance provided on ORPA’s website to remain up to date on COVID-19 and its evolving impact on sponsored research activities. Note that it is possible that a specific federal agency will issue guidance that supersedes OMB’s memorandum. If this occurs, SRA will notify us of the latest updates. For Non-Federal awards (foundations, corporations, etc.), we will have to reach out to them individually for guidance.
