Each year, the State partners with and provides millions of dollars to organizations throughout Illinois to provide services and programs to its residents. GOMB-GATU in partnership with the University of Illinois Springfield, is pleased to offer comprehensive training courses for grantees, potential grantees and state agency personnel. This training series provides guidance and support to navigate the administrative requirements for grants. The goal of this self-paced, internet-based training is to empower participants to be more successful grant administrators.  

The training series consists of five courses designed to break down the grantmaking and management lifecycle process to help individuals understand grant requirements and the GATA frameworks Illinois uses to administer public funds. The courses contain accessible reference materials, detailed instruction, and practical supports to help users apply the requirements.
