OCAST Internet Workshops

With the new addition of Internet Workshops, OCAST can now deliver critical information to principle investigators (PIs) in a just-in-time manner, regardless of where they are or what time it is. The free Internet Workshops will provide PIs with instant access to the information they need to effectively complete OCAST solicitations. Using convenient modules, the PI can focus on the specific areas he/she needs to learn and repeat any content as often as he/she needs. Topics that are covered include:

• Eligibility Criteria
• Direct Costs vs. Indirect Costs
• Matching Funds
• Completing the Research Plan
• The Ranking Process

With OCAST Internet Workshops, valuable information and training critical to a successful proposal is never more than a mouse click away!
