Hi all--

A member of our Finance Dept. (who wants to learn more about Research Admin., but not as a primary career focus) has asked me if I know anything about a group called Management Concepts and their Grants Management Certificate Program (www.managementconcepts.com).  I have not heard of them and the courses are quite expensive, so I want to try to find out if this is a worthwhile endeavor for her.  If anyone has any knowledge of this group, please respond to the list or contact me directly.  For example: Who are the faculty?  Do you know anyone who has taken their courses?  Who recognizes this certification?  Their literature says they are recommended by the National Grants Management Association, with which I am also not familiar.

Thank you for any information that you can provide.

Regards, Kathleen
