More and more faculty are navigating post-award budgets on their own. Managing grant budgets for many researchers is a self-taught process that involves equal doses of trial and error and magic. This session will take some of the mystery out of the process of building realistic grant budgets at the proposal stage. The majority of the workshop will focus on the post-award side of managing grant budgets, including best practices in working with financial management to ensure compliance, monitoring budgets and forecasts, and using financial data.
