Improving Your Grant Writing Skills

No matter what field you are in, the hunt to secure any type of grant funding has become highly competitive.  Preparing a competitive grant proposal requires good research, careful preparation, and smooth writing.  Through lessons and real-life examples, learn strategies and tools to help you research, prepare, and write grant applications that will give you an edge and put you on the road to funding.

Strategic Grant Management - Navigating Changes and Litigating Risks

In today’s unpredictable environment, it’s crucial to develop adaptive grant management strategies. This course equips participants to manage sponsor relationships, navigate change, and ensure project success. It also emphasizes the role of internal controls in guiding sponsored projects, minimizing liability, and making informed decisions to maintain compliance, financial stability, and flexibility amid federal disruptions.

Best Practices for Documenting Grant Impact and Success

Funders want to see the impact of their funding before, during, and after the proposal and funding cycle. This course is designed to help participants effectively document and share their project impact.

Managing and Reporting Grants in the Age of AI: Smart Tools, Smarter Oversight

AI tools can be powerful allies in managing and reporting on grants by helping speed up brainstorming, drafting, and organizing tasks. But they’re not a substitute for sound judgment, compliance awareness, or solid documentation. Through a realistic, grant-focused example, you’ll discover how entering program-specific variables into AI generates draft content, and then how to proof and edit the results for accuracy, allowability, and audit readiness. Along the way, we’ll flag key risks including data privacy concerns, unsupported claims, and audit vulnerabilities. We’ll also investigate how to avoid the most common (and costly) AI missteps.

Budgeting for the Fiscal Cliff

The “fiscal cliff” is coming into sharper focus as pandemic-era funding expires, political priorities shift, and compliance demands increase. This session goes beyond budget math to focus on strategy, clarity, and adaptability. We’ll cover budgeting fundamentals, the role of performance measures, and the warning signs that an organization may be vulnerable to funding shortfalls. Attendees will learn practical strategies to adjust their baseline budgets, create contingency plans, and communicate early with stakeholders.

Executive Orders and Federal Grants - What You Need to Know

Executive Orders (EOs) can reshape grant requirements and priorities overnight, sometimes without directly changing a single regulation. In this session, we’ll break down what EOs are, how they influence federal grant policy, and why understanding their impact is critical for compliance. Using recent and historical examples, we’ll show how EOs have affected procurement rules, eligibility criteria, reporting requirements, and funding priorities. Participants will learn how to identify relevant EOs, assess their compliance implications, and implement proactive strategies to mitigate risk, adjust budgets, and maintain alignment with shifting federal priorities. They’ll walk away with practical tools for monitoring EO changes, building flexibility into programs and budgets, and communicating effectively with funding partners.
