Grants Administration Community Call: Grants Management Systems
Log in to view event links.
The next Grants Administration Community open mic is on Thursday, May 15th from 3:00-4:00 pm ET. This session will focus on grants management systems (GMS). As a follow-up to the result of the GMS survey last year, we will have small breakout groups to share ideas and tips on how our organizations optimize the use of our GMS. Guided questions will be provided and will focus on 1) proposal submissions, 2) review process, 3) awarding and post award management, and 4) reporting tools.
After the break-out session and if time allows, we will discuss the different GMS as a group should any members consider changing, and urge members to come and ask other, non-monthly-topic-related grants admin questions, as well.
As a reminder, the Grants Admin Community holds monthly webinars in an open mic-style format—unless there is a topic that lends itself to an invited expert speaker(s)—around one-to-three pre-planned topics of member interest based on common listserv questions and per member request to spark candid discussion. These webinars are not limited to the scheduled topics, and will unfold as the conversation dictates, offering common problems and potential solutions. Please see and add to the running list of topics here (scroll down to the bottom to see topics added in 2025).
