3.1 Federalwide Standard Terms and Conditions for Research Grants

In order to create greater consistency in the administration of Federal research awards, all Federal research agencies now utilize a standard core set of administrative terms and conditions on research and research-related awards that are subject to 2 CFR Part 200, to the extent practicable. The core set of administrative requirements for participating Federal research agencies and other pertinent documents are posted on the National Science Foundation's web site. Recipients are encouraged to review the companion documents which include a Prior Approval Matrix, National Policy Requirement Matrix, Subaward Requirement Matrix, and Agency-Specific Requirements. NIH implementation of these Federalwide research terms and conditions is also known as the "NIH Standard Terms of Award".
