Federal Grants Management: Improving Outcomes, Operational Quality, and Transparency

How you communicate about and manage your grants significantly affects what grant programs accomplish. It also affects public awareness and understanding of the beneficial impacts of grant-funded actions, as well as the ease of grant implementation. Dr. Shelley H. Metzenbaum will join us to talk about her recently released report on managing federal grants to improve outcomes and grant operational quality and transparency.

Attendees will walk away with:
• How to shift grant management emphasis from administrative matters to improving outcomes
• Effective communication tips for grant program goals, strategies, progress, problems, and planned next steps
• A plan for adopting a more strategic, scientific approach to administrative matters

Metzenbaum's presentation is likely to interest agency grant managers and policymakers, cross-agency leaders working on grant improvement, the U.S. OMB, those conducting program monitoring and oversight, those building and sharing evidence, data analysts and evaluators, and grant recipients.
