Grants Management Certificate Program

The Georgetown University Research Compliance Working Group (RCWG) is proud to announce the Grants Management Certificate Program, a newly designed program to responsibly train staff in the administration, regulation, compliance and reporting of grants.   The program is designed to fulfill the grants management community’s need for extensive, centralized training, and, to ensure our community’s effective and efficient grants operation.  Participants will explore all aspects of grant management, including but not limited to financial operations, pre-award administration, post-award administration, compliance and ethics, and legal and regulatory issues.

The program is specifically designed for those who are currently engaged in the grants management process at Georgetown University.  However, all staff, faculty, university services and AAPs on the Main Campus, Law Center Campus and Medical Center Campus are also eligible to participate.  This 40 credit program will typically take two to three years to complete.  Upon completion, the participant will be awarded a certificate at a ceremonial lunch.

Courses will be taught in major categories:

  • Financial Operations
  • Pre-Award Administration
  • Post-Award Administration (including costing principles)
  • Compliance and Ethics
  • Legal and Regulatory
  • Interactive sessions to include webinars
