Registration for Fall Certificate Series Sessions Open


This fall, we continue our trek through the Post-Award Track of courses, beginning with a timely session on EVRs, Cost Transfers, and PCEs on August 1. The OPSA Certificate Series for Specialized Grants Training was developed to enhance your technical expertise in sponsored programs administration. Beginning in 2011, the program has been providing education and training that follows both a Pre-Award Track and a Post-Award Track. Topics include Budget Development, Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Rate, Proposal Development and Submission, Closeout of Award, and Cost Share among others. During the Regulatory Track, participants hear directly from campus leadership on topics related to Animal Welfare, Export Controls, Human Subjects Research Protections Program, and Conflict of Interest.   180 Certificates have been issued to attendees, with course attendees exceeding 600.  Past attendees who have completed session surveys agree that the training provides a positive benefit - more than 95% agreeing or strongly agreeing that what they have learned will be useful in their job.  Join us for a training session soon to see what the buzz is all about.  For more information and to register visit the grants training page on the OSPA website.
