entitled, <i>Extension of Administrative Relief for Recipients and Applicants of Federal Financial Assistance Directly Impacted by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) due to Loss of Operations</i>. NSF remains committed to working with the Administration, other
federal agencies, and the research community to effectively respond to the COVID-19 national emergency. This guidance is to implement updated guidance authorized by OMB Memorandum M-20-26 for recipients affected by COVID-19. The guidance extends two of the
short-term administrative relief from specific requirements contained in 2 CFR Part 200,
<i>Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards</i>, without compromising accountability requirements. These extensions, that go beyond what OMB previously outlined in Memorandum
