On July 1, join COSSA for the next Headlines Webinar focused on providing guidance on The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)'s Proposed Rule.
OMB issued a proposed rule in late May that would make major changes to the Uniform Guidance governing federal financial assistance, including federal research grants.

This webinar will provide COSSA members with guidance on how best to respond to the proposed rule.
