TRIO Programs can expect a 5.2% reduction of monies in the next cycle, as the first effects of sequestration are rolled out in the 2013-2014 grant award notifications in May. The U.S. Department of Education's mantra, "Doing More with Less," is becoming extremely difficult as cuts continue yet expectations of high-quality performance remain. This webinar will discuss different options and recommendations TRIO programs should consider when creating their next year's budget. |

Webinar participants will discuss ways to do more with less and manage their tight budgets as productively as possible. Specific strategies will be focused on new technologies and discovering new resources from their institution or agency and from their local communities. TRIO personnel need to take into account the prevailing rate for personnel and the work load for each direct service staff member and the funds needed to meet each objective, while increasing productivity. With the knowledge of the flexibility and restrictions of EDGAR on moving funds to other line items, TRIO personnel can focus on effectively utilizing limited resources to assure student success. Benchmarks for following the federal dollar from draw-down to reconciliation to ensure fiscal accountability will be delineated as well as checks and balances designed to ensure that grant funds are used only for eligible expenses and no one person controls authorization and disbursement of grant funds. |
