The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the departments and agencies of the Federal Government.
The Office of Management and Budget guidance for grants and agreements also is included in the CFR. The CFR is accessible through the National Archives and Records Administration. The following OMB guidance and regulations may be of particular interest to NIFA awardees; however, the list is not all inclusive. Note that each item may not apply to each and every award therefore, it is important to refer to the request for applications, the award document, or the content of the regulations for its applicability.
