The objective of these workshops is to engage, equip, and inform the educational institution participants of the federal procurement process so that they become more effective in pursuing contracting opportunities at HHS. Faculty and staff from all types of MIHEs and other institutions of higher learning will find this workshop helpful. Please note: This workshop will be available via webcast only.

The registration link is available at http://fedgovconworkshops.com/calendar/mihe-workshop-calendar/mihe-workshop-webcast/. Please visit http://fedgovconworkshops.com/ for more information. If you have questions regarding the event, please contact conference support at fedgovconworkshops@d2dinc.com. Who should attend? MIHE faculty and staff who are interested in pursuing government contracts or who have initiated the process, but have not yet been successful should attend this workshop. Individuals already involved in government contracting should attend to gain additional knowledge about the process and to network with HHS staff attending the workshop. Faculty and staff from all types of MIHEs and other institutions of higher learning will find this workshop helpful. Why should I attend? The Federal Government is an excellent, and often times, untapped resource of revenue. In this economy, educational institutions need additional sources of revenue to supplement other funding efforts. This can be done by securing contracts to support government customers with a variety of services including areas such as research projects. MIHE faculty and staff should attend a workshop so they understand the government contracting environment and have the tools necessary to navigate the government processes. I'm a teacher and can't afford to miss class. Can I attend part of the workshop? We understand that class schedules may overlap with the workshop schedule. This is a four-hour workshop scheduled in the afternoon/early evening in hopes to avoid most scheduling conflicts. We hope that you can join us for the entire event; however there is no requirement to attend the entire workshop. Come during the time that is convenient for your schedule. I already know the basics of government contract. My school already has government contracts. How will this workshop help me? You may be familiar with the basics; however this workshop will delve deeper into govcon topics. This includes an overview of the federal market/procurement process; grants versus contracts; market research/opportunity identification; proposal development; understanding contract pricing; and overview of contract administration and compliance. You will also have the opportunity to interact with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) OSDBU representatives who will be on-site during the workshop.
