Join Post-Award specialists for a discussion on the new additional LOC Justifications in the Payment Management System (PMS) and ASAP, effective starting 5/19/2025. How is your organization or institution managing terminations and stop-work orders?

Come prepared for engaging conversations as we aim to share ideas, opportunities, and strategies for overcoming challenges with our NCURA Regional community. Let’s contribute to fostering a culture of positive dialogue.
