Customize Your Personal Training Program

You can take a building-block approach to your continuing professional education by selecting the courses you need to tailor an individualized learning program. Management Concepts offers open-enrollment courses focused on all aspects of the grants process, from the perspectives of federal awarding agencies, pass-through entities, and recipients of federal awards. Courses blend informational and competency-based elements. Introductory courses (e.g., Applying for Federal Grants and Cooperative Agreements, Introduction to Grants and Cooperative Agreements for Federal Personnel) focus primarily on knowledge and comprehension, while subsequent courses place greater emphasis on application and analysis.

Using the Suggested Sequence of Courses to Select the Right Grants & Assistance Course for You

Step 1: Determine which group you fit into: Federal, Pass-Through, or Recipient.

The Federal group includes employees of federal agencies.

The Pass-Through group includes entities that receive federal funds and then subaward those funds to other organizations that actually perform the programmatic work.

The Recipient group includes organizations that receive federal funds, either directly from a federal agency or from a pass-through entity (such as a state agency), and use those funds to perform programmatic work.

Step 2: Review the course catalog and select the courses you would like to take.

Step 3: Use the Suggested Sequence of Courses for your group (linked below) to determine the best order in which to take the courses you selected.

This is the order of courses that will provide you with the maximum benefit. If, for scheduling or other reasons, you cannot take the courses in this order, you will still benefit from taking them. However, taking courses out of order may mean that you receive introductory instruction on a topic after you've already had the in depth instruction on that topic in another course.
