Smarter Grants Summit

The Smarter Grants Summit in San Antonio, Texas, on January 14-16, 2020, will focus on today's key areas for grants management professionals: legal compliance, funding diversification, and fiscal management.

Learn about the requirements for managing your grants today as well as what to expect beyond 2020 at the Smarter Grants Summit. You will learn about the rules governing Federal grants as codified in the OMB's Uniform Grants Guidance (commonly called the "OMB Super Circular"), but smart grants management is about more than just compliance. That is why the Smarter Grants Summit will also explain how to implement effective, efficient financial management strategies as well as how to diversify your organization's funding sources.

The Smarter Grants Summit will discuss major compliance requirements under the Uniform Grants Guidance (including recent changes), review frameworks for sound fiscal management and internal control, and explain tested strategies to diversify your funding sources. Highlights of this three-day training conference include:

• Grants Management Update - Learn about important recent changes affecting your grants, including planned revisions to the OMB Super Circular.
• Direct and Indirect Costs - Get the road map to direct and indirect costs under the Uniform Guidance's cost principles.
• Procurement Standards - Learn the right way to procure goods and services using grant funds.
• Funding Source Diversification - Explore strategies to broaden your organization's funding base and lessen dependence on Federal grants.
• Deterring Fraud - Learn to spot the warning signs and prevent fraud.
