Grants Management Group Training

This three-day course provides a foundational overview of federal grants and cooperative agreements from concept through closeout. Participants examine the evolution of policy and the core regulatory framework—especially the Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200—to understand how compliance, roles, and documentation are structured across programs. Through lecture, discussion, case studies, and practical exercises, learners connect policy to day-to-day grants management tasks.

Learn to spot red flags, test controls, and implement practical prevention/detection steps to protect federal grant funds. Designed for professionals who manage, oversee, or support federal assistance programs.

This course translates internal control frameworks into grants practice, showing how to design, document, and test controls that support compliance and performance. Learners connect legal requirements to day-to-day activities across the assistance lifecycle.

Translate 2 CFR 200 into practical steps across pre-award, post-award, and closeout, including subrecipient oversight and audit. Ideal for professionals who manage, oversee, or support federal assistance programs.

Master 2 CFR Part 200 (Subpart E) and FAR 31.2 cost rules, allowability, allocability, reasonableness, and practice decisions with real-world scenarios. Perfect for professionals who manage, oversee, or support federal assistance programs.

This focused course clarifies what effective grant monitoring looks like, how to scale oversight by risk, and how to complete closeout correctly. Participants learn the language of monitoring, the linkage between risk and internal control, and how to select and execute the right mix of oversight techniques.

This course gives federal grant professionals a practical understanding of ethics in grant management, focusing on ethical risk, conflicts of interest, and protecting program integrity across the grant lifecycle.

A two-day, hands-on course for federal grants and program staff on managing subawards across the lifecycle using risk-based monitoring to strengthen performance, address noncompliance, and meet 2 CFR 200 and audit expectations.

Pre-Award Risk Assessment and Award Structuring is an intermediate, practice-focused course for federal and pass-through entity staff involved in grant review and award decisions.
