We are excited to announce the launch of our newly redeveloped course, Navigating the Life Cycle of a Grant! This free comprehensive training has been condensed from five separate courses down to one course that covers every stage of the grant life cycle from pre-award preparation to post-award compliance and reporting.

Whether you're applying for your first grant or managing several awards, this course provides a basic overview of each stage of the process into clear, manageable steps. We’ll share useful tips and help you avoid common pitfalls, too!

This course is designed for:

• Grantees seeking tools and confidence to move through state grant processes with clarity.
• State agency staff aiming to establish a robust framework aligned with the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) for consistent oversight and compliance.
• Policymakers and stakeholders looking to build a shared understanding of roles, terminology, and collaboration strategies.

By the end of the course, you will have gained a better understanding of the grant life cycle.
