Grants Management: Reporting and Revision Strategies Funders Will Applaud
60-Minute On-Demand Webinar available on CD, MP4 and PDF Transcript.
Now that your proposal has become a funded grant, reporting is a must. Although every PI recognizes the need for periodic reporting to the funding agency, a proactive approach to timely reporting can help in the overall project management.
In the course of any project a PI can expect changes in the project’s circumstances, and the funding agency expects the PI to adapt to those circumstances. Project revisions need varying levels of approval from something as simple as a no-cost extension to a formal ok from a program officer to revise budget or major goals or objectives of a project.
In University audits, not submitting reports on time is one of the most common findings. However, reports can become a fundamental management device that gets the team and subawardees focused on deliverables. At your project kick-off meeting add project reporting to the agenda, stress timeliness and hound relentlessly if you need to.
During this how-to webinar, your expert presenter, Dr. Michael Lesiecki, will show you how to make reporting an integral part of the project activities. You will also dig into what the funding agency does with the reports, how they are used to authorize next funding increments and how they help program officers demonstrate the value of the program. When done effectively, reports can become a powerful external and internal communications tool.
