Training
The Department of Contracts and Grants (DCG) offers assistance to the research community in the development and submission of proposals as well as issues related to post-award management. To facilitate training, DCG offers several online learning programs and a broad array of quick guides. As we continue to develop these materials, we will be distributing them via DCG NewsFlashes and posting to the DCG website for future reference.
