Training
As the complexity and number of grants and contracts at our institution increases, so do our management and stewardship responsibilities. It is essential that staff involved with the management of sponsored projects receive quality training in the processes and procedures of their day to day work.
Courses listed below provide valuable guidance in post award policies, procedures and processes for monitoring grants and contracts in compliance with Federal, State and University policies and procedures. We urge you to explore these training opportunities.
Sincerely,
