July 29 - 31, 2020 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.
This engaging introductory course is ideal for those seeking to understand the principles of managing projects in a professional setting. Participants discuss critical concepts in the lifecycle of a project, examine the importance of different project roles, apply core project management tools using a working project, discuss effective ways to identify and manage key stakeholders and more. Participants depart with a straightforward framework to effectively manage projects and key skills to support project success.
Gain an awareness of the unique challenges faced by grant and program managers; the entities receiving the grants; and auditors, and an overview of the grants process.
August 17 - 19, 2020 Discover how the data can shape the results and reliability of a management study or audit. This interactive course provides knowledge and practical techniques for collecting good primary data. Learners develop tools for collecting primary data and practice data collection methods for observations, interviews and questionnaire surveys. Each day participants will plan and carry out data collection projects to gain experience with each method. This course is part of the Certificate of Accomplishment in Program and Management Analysis.

Explore the critical steps toward increasing economy, efficiency and effectiveness of grants and grant-funded programs, and explore current issues and events in grants management along with how to successfully prepare for a grant audit.
This course focuses on the leadership aspects of project management.
Focus on the unique performance management, measurement, and monitoring issues for grants and grant-funded programs, and enhance your awareness of performance issues relating to both achievement of program goals and effective and efficient management of program resources.
Don't just show the numbers. Let us prepare you to communicate the story behind the data. Data storytelling is an emerging field that is frequently associated with analytics and data science. It offers a structured approach to communicate data findings in a way that significantly improves audience understanding. Participants in this hands-on workshop analyze data, construct narratives and design visuals that help decision makers connect the dots
August 28, 2020 Communicating and working effectively with project stakeholders can be one of the most challenging aspects of managing projects. The Project Stakeholder & Communications Management course focuses on tools for effective communications planning, including how to analyze and respond to stakeholder needs. The course introduces the concept of interest-based negotiation (IBN) and outlines an IBN process for achieving and maintaining stakeholder agreement as the project progresses.

Wednesday, July 8, 2020 | 2 PM ET With an unprecedented amount of funding to distribute to the highest number of applicants you’ve ever experienced, your list of challenges has grown exponentially over the last couple of months. In these uncertain times, there’s no guide or playbook to pull off your bookshelf to enact a quick plan. What we do have are key lessons learned from over a decade ago with the Recovery Act, which can be applied as a guide on how to create a similar structure to best achieve the recovery outcomes desired.

Thursday, July 30, 2020 | 1 PM ET This webinar discusses the federal government’s interest in the real and personal property that grant and cooperative agreement recipients acquire and improve with federal funds. FTLF Partner Scott S. Sheffler discusses the concept of “federal interest,” including what it is, how it is created, and its implications on recipients’ property. In addition, Scott discusses the requirements under the Uniform Guidance pertaining to use, management, and disposition of grant-funded real and personal property.
Fundamentally, a grant from the federal government is simply an agreement by the government to reimburse an non-federal entity for certain costs of certain activities. The limits of the government’s agreement are expressed primarily through the federal cost principles, and are defined as “allowable costs.” Join FTLF Partner Scott S. Sheffler to evaluated and discuss the scope and limitations on reimbursable costs, and key risk areas inherent in this system.
A three-day overview of the federal grants system, covering everything from the legal underpinnings of the system through procurement and subaward requirements, cost issues, and audit resolution.
This two-day federal grant management training builds upon FTLF’s Federal Funding Academy, diving deeply into more advanced concepts and issues in the areas of cost allocation and contract and subrecipient management, while also providing an introduction to the various “national policy requirements” that attach to funding in most federal grant programs.
One of the most challenging compliance obligations of federal grantees is ensuring that they charge only “allocable” costs to their federal awards. At its core a very straight-forward concept, in practice cost allocation can prove a complex endeavor. From direct allocation, through cost allocation plans, and federally approved indirect cost rate agreements, an understanding of cost allocation principles aids grantees in efficiently and properly recovering project costs from the federal government. Join FTLF Partner Scott S. Sheffler to build from cost allocation basics to intermediate allocation concepts, examine practical examples, and walk through the indirect rate agreement negotiation process.
With the advent of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”), the government highlighted the obligation of grant recipients to maintain adequate internal controls. The concept of internal controls is not, however, always well understood; and certainly is operationalized differently in each recipient organization. Join FTLF Partner Scott S. Sheffler to discuss core internal control concepts, common risk areas, and compliance program strategies from a risk management perspective.
All Federal grantees must report certain activities potentially affecting their Federal award, including fraud and fraud-like matters, certain conflicts of interest, and relevant criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings.
All medium and large grantees must undergo the Single Audit Act annual audit process (often referred to as the “Uniform Guidance”, “A-133” or “Subpart F” audit). The Single Audit is the federal government’s most important tool for testing your compliance with the terms of your awards. Moreover, it is a major annual expense for your organization.

July 15, 2020 Numerous recent laws and government directives are impacting Federal grants management, including proposed updates to the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200 and other Parts). This one-day overview of the current grants environment will help build your understanding and ability to deal with what is on the horizon in the grants realm Link: https://www.managementconcepts.com/course/id/2020 Internal controls are integral to effective grants management. In order to conduct effective internal controls, grants managers need a foundational knowledge of Government Accountability Office (GAO) standards, risk management, and requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200. You will practice applying these concepts by reviewing sample policies for compliance and developing an internal control process to use on the job.
