Winter Institute Registration Now Open

The 2025 Winter Institute will be held January 6–17, 2025. Winter Institute courses are an opportunity for students and non-degree seeking affiliates to engage in short, focused classes on a variety of public health topics. 

This Winter Institute, PFRH is once again offering Creating, Implementing and Monitoring Budgets for Projects and Programs. The two-week online course details the principles, implementation, and evaluation of budgets and resource management—translating to fundamental leadership skills for professionals in any stage of their career. This course consistently earns an “excellent” ranking from students and has been taken by many BSPH faculty and staff as well. Students who have taken this course in the past praise its real world, practical applications and personalized feedback from the instructor. 

This course is great for understanding how budgets work within a project and research-based setting. It gives you the skills for developing budgets and understanding of what to look for when evaluating a budget. It is a very practical class that should be required.

I really liked how the instructor explained topics to us as future public health scholars/project managers. I feel like I gathered a lot of knowledge that would help me in the future. One of my best friends is an accountant in Grants and Contracts Accounting at a major public university, and when I told her about this course, she was so happy that BSPH is preparing future PIs to know how to handle their funding.

This class was excellent! The content was relevant and at an appropriate level for MPH candidates. I wish my employer offered the same budget training and in this format. I actually enjoyed the course - who'd have thought?! The instructor also gave great, individual feedback - and so fast! Thank you for a fun course! 

Whether you are a current student* who needs a primer on budget basics, or a seasoned professional who could use a deeper understanding of this essential career skill, Creating, Implementing and Monitoring Budgets for Projects and Programs will equip you with the knowledge to build, interpret, and assess project budgets with confidence. Register now.
