ABOUT TRIBAL AFFAIRS DIVISION (TAD) NGO

OVW hosts an annual New Grantee Orientation (NGO) to ensure newly awarded grantees have the information necessary to successfully implement their new grant projects, including training on federal programmatic and financial requirements, and available technical assistance resources. This year, NGO will combine on-demand training videos and live virtual Q&A sessions. Attendees may access on-demand videos via a virtual platform. Instructions for accessing the platform will be emailed to attendees after they complete registration. The videos will be available starting March 2, 2026. The deadline to view videos is April 3, 2026. To ensure grantees are not left with questions after viewing all required videos, TAD will host a series of live Q&A sessions during the week of April 6, 2026. Additional details and calendar invites are forthcoming.

OVW also extends an invitation to programs that received funding in an earlier fiscal year but have recently hired new program manager or financial staff that have never attended an OVW NGO.
