Uniform Guidance

On December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (also known as the “Uniform Guidance” or 2 CFR 200). The Uniform Guidance consolidates, streamlines and supersedes the eight existing OMB Circulars including Circular A-21, A-110, and A-133. Included in this new guidance are definitions, uniform administrative requirements (preaward & postaward), cost principles and audit requirements. The new guidance, which will affect all federally funded grants and contracts, will take effect on December 26, 2014.

In response to this release the University of Connecticut has set up a University-wide Uniform Guidance Task Force spanning both the Storrs and Farmington campuses. The Task Force includes representatives from central administration and various UConn departments active in research to coordinate the implementation of the Uniform Guidance. Among the Task Force’s goals is to keep the UConn community informed about the changes that will affect PIs, researchers, department administrators and others involved with sponsored projects. This webpage will provide updated information specific to Uniform Guidance implementation and will post new material once it becomes available.

Navigating the Uniform Guidance

The Uniform Guidance is broken down into the following subparts:

Part I – Objectives
Part II – Major Policy Reforms
Subpart A (200.0 – 200.99) – Acronyms and Definitions
Subpart B (100.200 – 200.113) – General Provisions
Subpart C (200.200 – 200.211) – Preaward Requirements
Subpart D (200.300 – 200.345) – Postaward Requirements
Subpart E (200.400 – 200.475) – Cost Principles
Subpart F* (200.500 – 200.521) – Audit Requirements

*Subpart F will apply to university audits beginning the fiscal year starting after the Uniform Guidance takes effect on December 26, 2014 (July 1, 2015).

Revisions to the Uniform Guidance can be found at the Federal Register Guidance for Grants and Agreements-February 22, 2021

What is UConn Doing to Implement the Uniform Guidance?

In preparation for the December 26, 2014 implementation date, UConn (all campuses) have created a subcommittee to review and catalog changes that may be required due to the new Uniform Guidance.

The group is responsible for determining the impact of the new regulations to existing policy and process, creating new training materials and revising policies where needed, and ensuring broad and effective communication strategies.

Indirect Costs

Proposals submitted to Sponsored Program Services must use the appropriate indirect cost rate in accordance with the most recently negotiated rate agreement and University policy.

The University’s Indirect Cost Rate Agreement, negotiated with the Department of Health and Human Services and dated 9/27/24: Indirect Cost Rate Agreement.

  • Proposals submitted to Sponsored Programs Services (SPS) on or before 1/1/25 may be submitted using the former Indirect Cost Rates
  • Proposals submitted to SPS after 1/1/25 must be budgeted in accordance with the new rates, using the rate effective at the beginning of each proposed budget period
  • UConn’s Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) base has been updated to raise the threshold for inclusion of subaward dollars from $25,000 to $50,000, effective 7/1/25. As a result, the first $50,000 of the total amount of each subaward budgeted for inclusion after 7/1/25 should be included in the base when calculating indirect costs using an MTDC base.
  • Current awards will continue to utilize the IDC rate in effect at the time of the initial award
  • New awards may continue to use the proposed rate (if lower), if allowed by the sponsor

*Indirect costs are calculated on Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) which is Direct Costs minus certain exclusions. Direct Costs include salary, fringe benefits, materials and supplies, travel, and the first $50,000 of each subcontract (after 7/1/25).

Exclusions include equipment over $5,000**, rent, fellowships, tuition, participant support costs and subcontract amounts beyond the first $50,000 for each subcontract (after 7/1/25).

**In order to be consistent with State classification standards, the dollar threshold for capitalization of equipment at UConn is $5,000.

Off Campus Rate

In accordance with our current Indirect Cost Rate Agreement:

For all activities performed in facilities not owned by the institution and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s), the off campus rate will apply. Grants or contracts will not be subject to more than one indirect cost rate.  If more than 50% of a project is performed off campus, the off campus rate will apply to the entire project.

The off campus indirect cost rate can be budgeted as follows:

  • If rent is directly charged to the project.
  • If more than 50% of all program activities are performed off campus.   (We request written confirmation from the PI).
  • If the sponsor specifically requires the off-campus rate per the solicitation.

The on-campus rate is normally applied whenever the University leases or pays for space costs that are not direct charged to a grant or contract.

If you have questions, please contact your SPS Grants/Contracts Specialist.

Sponsor-Stated Limits

When the University collects indirect costs at less than the full federally negotiated rates,  indirect costs are charged to Total Direct Costs (including equipment, participant support costs, subcontracts, etc.,)  unless otherwise stated in the sponsor guidelines.

Funding from Connecticut State agency appropriations and local municipalities are charged a current reduced rate of 20%.  Indirect costs should be charged to Total Direct Costs.  If the Originating Sponsor is non-State, the full rate allowable by the originating/prime sponsor should be applied.

Reduction of F&A on Projects Having a Total Cost of $50k or Less

To allow for more buying power on small sponsored projects and to help foster smaller awards which may lead to additional funding, indirect costs on new awards received after October 1, 2017 with total costs of $50,000 or less, will be reduced to 20% or the difference between the full indirect cost rate and 20% will be distributed to the investigators indirect cost account.  Indirect costs are charged to Total Direct Costs (TDC) or Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC),  as required by the specific sponsor or solicitation.

Sponsored Program Services (SPS) has developed guidance and FAQs on how this program is implemented.

Cost Sharing

Cost sharing on a sponsored program is a contribution to the cost of the project not funded by the sponsor. Direct cost sharing refers to funds expended by the University on behalf of a sponsored project and includes personnel, equipment, and supplies. Mandatory cost sharing is required to be reported on the financial reports and to be supported through the accounting records.

Identification of the source of cost sharing is to be made at the time the proposal is submitted. Cost sharing/match accounts are to be set up for each grant as required and used to charge the cost sharing expense. These accounts should be established at the time the award is received and set up in the University’s KFS system.

A periodic review of the financial statements will ensure that cost sharing commitments are being met and that unrestricted funds to cover the cost share commitment have been transferred in a timely manner to the cost sharing/match accounts. Transfers from unrestricted accounts to the cost sharing accounts should be made in the fiscal year in which the costs are to be incurred.

Types of Cost Sharing

Typical examples of cost sharing include the percentage of personnel effort to be expended on the project; associated employee benefits; Graduate Research Assistant Tuition and un-recovered indirect costs. Costs incurred prior to the award are not allowable matches. Program income earned under an award may not count as cost sharing unless authorized by the sponsor.

Cash contributions are sources of funds from either internal or external sources.  University cost sharing is considered cash, as it can be accounted for from the University’s records. In-Kind contributions are non-cash contributions typically provided from outside sources such as donations of equipment, sub-contractors of time or facilities, or volunteer services.

The SPS Cost Share Priority Grid provides additional information about potential and allowable sources of cost share.

For more information, see the University of Connecticut’s Cost Sharing Policy.

Fringe Benefits

Fringe Benefits

  • The University’s fringe benefit rates are negotiated with its cognizant agency (DHHS) and are part of UConn’s Colleges and Universities Rate Agreement.
  • The FY25+ (Until Amended) rate should be used for all budget periods extending beyond 7/1/2024.
  • Fringe benefits will be charged at the applicable rate at the time the cost is incurred.
  • Sponsored Program Fringe Benefit Rates are to be used when developing all sponsor and cost-share budgets (mandatory and voluntary).
  • The following language is required in all proposal budget justifications that include fringe benefit costs using rates listed on the rate agreement:
      “The fringe benefit rates used in the proposal budget are based on the rates approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS, 9/27/2024).”
