The
External Resource Development (ERD) Office offers three grant-related
training
courses targeting successful proposal development and post-award contract
management. These courses
–
and resources associated with each one – will be posted at this
location. Look for this part of
our
website to expand significantly during the coming months as we add as many
resources as possible for faculty and staff involved in grant funded
projects. Through a partnership with
TSTC’s
Continuing Education Office, CEU’s are provided for these
courses. Please click

You?”
