Assessing Your Federal Grant Vulnerabilities After Recent Administrative Changes

This presentation will provide a brief overview of the recent events surrounding administrative edicts, including a timeline and status updates on the various U.S. District Court lawsuits against the administration. [Note: There is no legal analysis of either side, just a quick summary of what the courts have thus far ordered.) We will review recent Executive Orders, Presidential Actions, and publicly pronounced administration priorities to help attendees assess the vulnerability of their own portfolios of Federal financial assistance that is (or may come) under scrutiny by the administration. We will also explore existing regulations - primarily in the Uniform Guidance and Federal Acquisition Regulations - that currently allow for modification or termination of Federal financial assistance so that attendees can respond to requests for amendments(s) or declarations of termination. Attendees will be provided with actionable suggestions for assessing their Federal grants and funding portfolios' vulnerability to prepare for further strategic discussions with stakeholders. This session will reserve time for Questions & Answers.
