This workshop for you if you:

Have a funded project but don’t really understand the management part of it,
Have just learned your project has been funded
Have submitted a proposal and want to be ready if you get funded, or
Provide for support for someone who gets funding.

You will learn the basics of managing a funded project. This includes projects administered by the OSU research foundation and those that handled by the Extension Business Office. A brief overview of how Extension and OSURF work together as well as some common considerations that apply to all projects will be discussed..
