Institutional Partners Info Sessions

Every month, SMU DataArts hosts a webinar that covers the basics of completing your Cultural Data Profile (CDP) on the SMU DataArts platform and applying to participating grantmakers. This session is ideal for new users, or anyone looking for a refresher about how to enter your data and create a Funder Report for a grant deadline (1 hour). The webinar is listed in Eastern Time.

Closed captioning is available during the presentation. Hosted By SMU DataArts.
