Use Case Background
The US ED's Office of Acquisition, Grants and Risk Management, Grants Management Policy Division is developing a Single Use Annual Performance Report that pulls together elements from various APRs. The goal is to make it easier for those submitting APRs. As part of this work, we compared CEDS and the Federal Integrated Business Framework Grant Management Standards. You can find their standards at https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf-gm/.

The Single Use APR requires information on Indirect Cost Rate Agreements. The elements proposed here are taken from instructions proposed along with the Single Use APR.
