Today, I'll be participating in the webinar below. I'm labeling this under Grants Management in an effort to present more resources on funding as it relates to Criminal Justice and social justice. As a volunteer, this might not apply as much, but if you're working in the justice system or for non-profit groups and are involved in planning & development of new funding opportunities, it may be a good learning opportunity. I also understand that the National Criminal Justice Association has a membership costs of $95 annually. The training cost $35 but is free for members (as well as many other online trainings and access). I wish I would've known about these resources while I was enrolled as an undergrad. I'm learning there are many associations that operate on a local, state, and federal level. Through Twitter, I'm also stumbling across a lot of information related to grassroots, community based, and non-profit organizations as well. If you're a justice major and spend a lot of time on the net (or do a lot of research on the net), I'd recommend following these resources and scanning them for info that is relevant to you or specific to a cause you're involved with.
Grants Management Webinar
Getting to Know the New Omni Circular 2 CFR Part 200
May 20, 2014
3:00-4:00 PM (Eastern)
About the webinar:
In December 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published new guidelines that significantly reform and strengthen Federal grant-making to improve outcomes for the American people while reducing bureaucratic red-tape. The new guidance will affect all new grants awarded after December 26, 2014. The final guidance supersedes and streamlines requirements from OMB Circulars A-21, A-87, A-110, and A-122; Circulars A-89, A-102, and A-133; and the guidance in Circular A-50 on Single Audit Act follow-up. It is located in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, also referred to as the Omni Circular. This webinar will highlight the most significant changes in the Omni Circular for the Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audits.
