Project Management

College and university grantees nearly always manage their own grant projects. However, there are circumstances when the need to outsource project management is called for, such as illness, sabbaticals, or other unforeseen events. Obvioulsy, the transition to an outside management entity is crucial, usually requiring the project manager to visit the college and meet with project partners.

Grants Gateway has a prepared Capabiility Statement that details its experience and areas of expertise with regard to international business education and training projects, and we are pleased to make this available to anyone interested in our project management services. Because we have written and directed many grant projects, and because we are intimately familiar with the federal funding agencies and their regulations, we think that we would make a good choice of project manager. Having said that, however, outsourcing probably works best if and only if the project is not local in nature. The less it is confined to campus and local community, the more it would lend itself to distanced [absentee] management.
