Grants 101 - Grant Ethics

All grant professionals experience ethical moments throughout their career. It is our professional duty to guide the organizations we work for on ethical conduct. This conduct extends beyond whether funding can be spent differently than was written in the grant proposal. Ethics are important throughout the full grant lifecycle. This training will introduce individuals working with grants to the most common ethical codes followed by grant and development professionals and some of the most common ethical dilemmas presented to those who work with grant regularly.

What you will learn:

  • The four most common codes of ethics and conduct
  • Similarities and differences between these codes of ethics and personal codes of ethics
  • How these codes are practically applied 
  • Common activities to conduct within your organization so more ethical questions are avoided

 

GPCI Competencies and Skills: 6.1-6.8
