- Grants.gov Workshops - How did they go?
Posted by Kate B.  on 10/16/2008, 11:21 am
For those of you who have hosted a Webex presentation with Michael Pellegrino from Grants.gov - how did it go? Did you find the technology easy to work with? Are the attendees able to interact with the presenter, or is it more of a one-sided presentation? Did your patrons find it useful?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Kate B.

I would settle for "how do you find a human to speak to at grant.gov?" When I made an e-mail inquiry, I got a canned response to send in an e-mail application, with date, format, etc. I can't answer that until I speak to a human. When I called the 800 number, they told me they didn't deal with presentations, so I sent an e-mail request for a human to speak to. They sent me a response to call the same 800 number that said they didn't know anything. When I e-mailed with that response, they told me to fill out the form. Unless I speak to a human first, I won't host one of these. Why does it have to be this frustrating?

Linda:
How frustrating! I emailed Michael Pellegrino [michael.pellegrino at hhs.gov] and received a timely reply. I've got a workshop scheduled for March 2009. Try emailing him directly.
Best,

Hello All,
Mike's contact info is online at the HHS directory but here it is:
Last name Pellegrino
First name Michael
Agency OS
Organization DHHS/OS/ASRT
Job title Management Analysis Officer
Room 739F
Duty station Washington District of Columbia
Mail stop 200 Independence Ave. S.W.
Phone 202 205-1154
Internet e-mail michael.pellegrino@hhs.gov
I spoke to him on the phone a few times when setting up my program. Unfortunately, I had to postpone the session but he was most helpful and, really, he is a "live person."

I just hosted a one hour grants.gov webinar. It went really well - we had lots of questions from the group. I do not know how many trainers they have - we did not have Michael as a trainer. It covered just the basics and gave the nonprofits the steps to follow to get started. It would be nice to have a part two covering searching and applying and I am going to ask about that next. The webinar style training was okay for an hour but would be harder if the program lasted any longer.
