Training Modules

 

Training toolkit

This toolkit serves as a comprehensive resource hub designed to support UW faculty and research staff in managing sponsored projects after awards are granted. It includes targeted “knowledge base” articles and instructional videos covering key post‑award topics—such as cost transfers, faculty salary accounting (“9/12”), institutional base salary, allowable costs, program income, cost sharing, effort reporting, and Wyocloud reporting.

 

Additionally, it highlights upcoming workshops like the NCURA virtual session on AI in customer service, offering guidance on streamlining administrative processes. Overall, the toolkit’s intent is to help researchers navigate financial compliance, reporting, and administrative procedures efficiently while reducing their administrative burden.
