Description:
During this course, you will have the opportunity to gain an overview of Federal grants topics and terminology, roles and responsibilities, and rules and regulations – including the new Uniform Administrative Requirements at 2 CFR 200, commonly called the Super Circular. You will discuss and practice applying administrative requirements and basic cost principles within a team environment for a variety of scenarios and one comprehensive case study. Throughout the course, we will discuss common compliance problem areas with covered regulations, and potential solutions that are applicable to many agencies and private entities. Participants will also learn and apply the general and technical competencies identified by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to help ensure successful grants management outcomes.

This course is intended for recipients of Federal assistance awards, pass-through entities, grant managers, grant specialists, Federal program and project staff (particularly individuals in the GS-1109 classification series), monitoring officials, and auditors whose duties include compliance testing and internal control certifications. Attorneys with suspension/debarment and other enforcement responsibilities will also benefit from this content.
