You got the grant, Congratulations! Now what? This webinar series will give you an overview of your duties and responsibilities as a grant manager with a strong focus on resource allocation and budgeting. If you have ever questioned what your role is as a grant manager, or felt overwhelmed considering how to allocate resources and managing project finances, then this training is for you. Even if you are currently managing a grant, this training will allow you to see if you are covering all the bases and to be able to make improvements so you can manage your budget more effectively.
What if you aren’t grant funded? This training is still for you! Since the training will focus heavily on budgeting, any program manager who works with a budget should find the tools covered in this webinar series to be useful.
