Training
Join the Office of Sponsored Programs for the 2026-2027 Fueling Success Training Series (7 trainings in total), a fun and practical professional development program designed to guide faculty & staff through every stage of the grant lifecycle. Whether you are exploring funding opportunities, developing proposals, building budgets, navigating compliance requirements, or managing awarded projects, these sessions provide the tools and resources needed for success. Attend one session or complete the entire series; attendees who complete all sessions will receive a "Grant Ready" certificate and a completed grant toolkit binder assembled section-by-section throughout the year. This training could come in handy when awarded your first or next grant.
