Workshop Description:

Grant administration encompasses the duties of designing and managing the grant from pre-award through post-award closeout. These duties begin as the grant proposal is written since the fiscal responsibilities and reporting requirements need to be taken into consideration before the grant is awarded. In this introductory level workshop, interested community agencies will learn the basics of successfully searching, applying, and managing grants.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify funding opportunities
2. Identify key elements of a funding notice
3. Identify key elements of a grant application
4. Develop a budget and associated budget justification
5. Define post award elements
