Web site Overview:

The OCGA Web site is designed as a training tool focusing on 3 distinct audiences. These audiences include:

• The Novice, an individual brand new to contract and grant process and procedures needing detailed content and text to assist them with their educational needs and completing their assigned tasks.

• The Intermediate, an individual who has contract and grant knowledge, but still may need assistance. The content is available to them if necessary, but they need to access information quickly.

• The Advanced, an individual who has a lot of contract and grant knowledge and needs to access information fast using Quick Links, thus not having to read or scan Web pages to find the necessary information.

Additionally, handy Quick Reference Guides have been created to assist users with Budget Preparation Rates, the Federal Demonstration Partnership, and the OCGA Web site. To access these useful guides, click here.

If we have overlooked anything and/or specific information presented on the Web site is incorrect, out of date, or you simply would like to recommend a change, please feel free to Contact Us.
