PERA Training for the Finance Team

The training courses detailed below have been designed specifically for Finance Business Management staff with sponsored program account management responsibilities.

Budget Allocation (BA) I and II are recommended for all Business Management staff with sponsored program account management responsibilities.  Budget Allocation III and IV are specifically targeted to experienced business management staff who support more complex sponsored programs.  If you are unsure if you should attend BA III and IV, please discuss it with your supervisor.

Virtual and in person options are available for the courses. To provide maximum benefit and opportunities to establish networking relationships, staff who live locally are encouraged to attend in-person if possible. Regardless of your selection, you will receive a Team’s link for the session.  If you register for an in-person session, please plan to attend in-person.  Note that there are space limitations on several of the rooms.  If you register for a course that is oversubscribed, you will be notified and you can either switch dates or simply attend the virtual session.

Parking at 2550 is free and no permit is required.  Parking on campus will require a permit through Purdue University Parking. 

Participants are welcome to bring their laptops but laptops are not required.
