Each year, the State partners with organizations throughout Illinois to provide services and programs to its residents. Millions of dollars in grants are awarded annually to the organizations who accomplish this.  GOMB-GATU in partnership with the University of Illinois Springfield, is pleased to offer the first of five 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 breaks down the grantmaking and management lifecycle process to help individuals understand grant requirements and the GATA frameworks Illinois uses to administer public funds. The first course, GOMB Pre-Award, includes accessible reference materials, detailed instruction, and practical supports to help users apply the requirements.

These training courses are available through the GATA learning management system.  Participants start by creating a log in and user name via continuingeducation.uis.edu.
