If you are unfamiliar with the federal agencies’ contacting process,  
including the processes within the Department of Defense, DHS, the  
National Security Agency, or the branches of the military, these  
training sessions will be an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge  
on how to increase your success rate on federal grants.

training in the Potter Engineering Building, Room 234on the federal

The morning training session will examine the federal budget process  
with a special focus on the Department of Defense (DoD), along with an  
explanation of some common financial terms used by the Federal  
Government.   This session is intended to provide a strategic  
understanding of the players, roles, structure, timeline, and rules of  
federal budgeting, appropriations, and financial management.  
Participants will gain insights to help navigate the fiscal  
environment of the federal government and achieve successful outcomes  
for their research and projects.

process along with an explanation of some common contract types (FFP,  
FPIF, T&M, CPFF, CPAF, etc) and methods (Grants, OTAs, CRADAs, etc.)  
used within the Federal Government.  The training is intended to  
provide a strategic understanding of the players, roles, processes,  
and general rules of federal acquisition regulations. With this  
critical understanding, participants will gain the ability to navigate  
the federal contracting world to achieve successful outcomes for their  
research and projects. We will focus on topics such as Contract  
Methods and Types, Processes, Players, Competition, etc.  In addition,
