Individuals involved in sponsored projects administration are faced with a multitude of challenges: becoming knowledgeable about federal regulations and individual agency requirements, providing assistance to faculty, gathering information, administration of awards, and many other tasks. The purpose of this program is to provide participants new to the profession with a broad overview of the various aspects involved in sponsored projects administration, including preparation and review of proposals; negotiation and acceptance of awards; financial and administrative management, closeout and audit, as well as relevant compliance issues.
Who Should Attend? This program is intended primarily for the newcomer (less than 2 years experience) involved in sponsored projects administration at higher education institutions and affiliates, or for the individual who has primarily worked in only one area of sponsored projects administration and is seeking a broader view of the profession.

This was my first NCURA conference and I really enjoyed it and took a lot away from it. The presenters were all great. It was a very inviting forum and nice to make contacts. Rhiannon WoodBoise State University

All three presenters were professional and friendly in their demeanor - very approachable. This was helpful for someone with very little experience and made me feel more comfortable asking questions. Nancy TackettHarding University Main Campus
