The Office of Research Administration and Advancement (ORAA) and the Office of Contract and Grant Accounting (OCGA) are committed to providing guidance to the university community on federal, state, and university policies and regulations for sponsored research. To enhance this effort, our two offices have combined to offer a series of courses, each intended to give a deeper understanding of a specific aspect of contract and grant administration.

Courses may be taken in any order, and you may choose to take as many or as few as you like. Course modules are offered at least once a year.
