14.1—Purpose.
This part establishes uniform administrative requirements for Department of Commerce (DoC) grants and agreements awarded to institutions of higher education, hospitals, other non-profit, and commercial organizations. The Grants Officer shall incorporate this part by reference into financial assistance awards made to organizations to which it will be applied. The DoC shall not impose additional or inconsistent requirements, except as provided in §§ 14.4, and 14.14 or unless specifically required by Federal statute or executive order. This part applies to grants and agreements awarded to foreign governments, organizations under the jurisdiction of foreign governments, and international organizations unless otherwise determined by the Grants Officer after coordination with the appropriate program officials. Uniform requirements for State, local, and tribal governments are in 15 CFR part 24, Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments. Non-profit organizations that implement Federal programs for the States are also subject to State requirements.
