The NDSU Sponsored Programs Administration & Grant and Contract Accounting offices are introducing a new collaborative training series which is designed for faculty and business support staff who assist in the pre- and post-award processes.

Goal: To empower faculty and staff with the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to effectively manage sponsored projects, ensure compliance, financial integrity, and successful project execution. The first five sessions are designed to be sequential; however, each module can be used independently for training at the college or department level.

Format: Each session will be approximately 60-75 minutes long, ideally comprising 45 minutes of presentation and 15-30 minutes for Q&A and practical examples. Sessions will be offered in-person with virtual attendance options.
