In a joint effort to offer professional training opportunities to the UNMC research community, Sponsored Programs Administration and the Office of Budget and Analysis are sponsoring a grant management training live-satellite workshop Tuesday, Sept. 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Hospital Amphitheater.
“What Departmental Administrators Need to Know about Post-Award and Cost Analysis,” is highly recommended for faculty, grant administrators and support staff who work on budget development and grants management responsibilities.
The live workshop will introduce participants to the relationship between departments and central offices from the “account set up” to the “account close out” phase. Take the opportunity to learn about grant administration from nationally recognized experts.
Due to limited seating, registration will be granted on a first-come basis. Submit the registration form by Sept. 9 to register.
Purpose
At this live workshop, participants will be introduced to the relationship between grant departments versus the central office. Typically, the pre-award office “determines the fate” for the post-award and cost analysis personnel. To work seamlessly (and to avoid problems and pitfalls), experience suggests that we could all benefit from understanding the critical components of each other’s functions and operations.
Goals
This workshop will span/cover “account set up” through “account close out,” including what departmental administrators and central administrators should know about
- the mechanics of the facilities and administrative (F&A) rate
- cost sharing
- effort reporting
- Cost Accounting Standards
- financial reporting
- cash management
- cost transfers
- post auditing
Presenters
F. John Case, associate vice chancellor for research, Office of Contracts and Grants at the University of North Caroline at Chapel Hill and Elizabeth Mora, director, Sponsored Research at Harvard University, will be leading the four-hour workshop.
Previously, the duo taught this workshop at the National Council of University Research Administrators’ (NCURA) Finance Research Administration II conference and received outstanding evaluations from those who attended.
How to register
Due to limited seating, register as soon as possible by completing and submitting an online form. Registration will be granted on a first-come basis. A sack lunch will also be provided to workshop participants. Respond by Sept. 9 to register.
