August Virtual Federal Grants Forum


Virtual Federal Grants Forum

New proposed uniform guidance changes – coupled with learning how to navigate a world trying to mitigate a pandemic crisis – means shifting expectations, priorities and resources. It is clear that protecting your federal funding is more important than ever before in these uncertain times.
Join Thompson Grants virtually for the Federal Grants Forum this August and get the compliance guidance you need to ensure that you and your entire team are up-to-date on the latest grants rules and regulations that govern federal awards no matter the circumstances so that you can confidently manage your grants and protect your funding.
Our two-day agenda includes powerhouse sessions that cover everything you need to know – start to finish – about how to tackle the toughest grants management challenges while addressing how COVID-19 has changed the game. You’ll be able to ask your specific questions directly to our trainer in our virtual learning environment as you watch the presentations.

You will not be able to view the videos and content until the exact start time of each session.
