This regulation outlines the administrative requirements for the Department of Defense (DoD) when issuing cost-type grants and cooperative agreements to entities such as institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, states, local governments, and Indian tribes. It provides a standardized framework for organizing and wording the general terms and conditions of these awards, allowing for specific modifications under certain conditions, and ensures compliance with broader Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. The regulation is structured into several parts, each focusing on different administrative aspects like financial management, property administration, and reporting, with detailed prescriptions for how DoD components should apply these standards.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 301 and 10 U.S.C. 113.
