Financial Management Seminars

The Financial Management Training Seminars are designed for individuals responsible for the financial administration of discretionary and/or formula grants awarded from Federal grant-in-aid programs administered by the Bureaus and Offices of DOJ OJP, including the Bureau of Justice Assistance; Bureau of Justice Statistics; National Institute of Justice; Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; Office for Victims of Crime; and the Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking Office. Officials from OJP's Office of the Chief Financial Officer lead each live seminar.

As an alternative to attending a live seminar, we encourage grantees to take advantage of the free online Grants Financial Management training course designed specifically for DOJ grantees. This online course covers the same topics as the live seminar and the completion of this course fulfills any requirement for training that is required by your grant. To access this training, please visit the DOJ Grants Financial Management Online Training site

Grantees are required to pre-register and obtain explicit approval to attend the live seminars. Due to security concerns, only pre-registered participants are admitted. All attendees must provide a government issued photo identification to access each training.

There is no registration fee for the seminars. However, attendees are responsible for all costs associated with their participation in a seminar, including transportation, lodging, and meals. The seminar format is informal, and participants are invited to dress business casual. Attendance is limited, so register as soon as possible. We encourage online registration, as the seminars usually fill up within a few hours, with a limited waiting list. Please note that registering for a seminar does not guarantee you can attend. All enrolled applicants undergo an approval process and are notified via a second email of their final registration status approximately 15 business days after registration. Please do not make travel arrangements until you receive your second notice confirming attendance.
