1. Where can I find a wealth of information about acquisition training and certification at NIH?
Visit the Acquisition Career Program page for more information.
2. How do I sign up for an acquisition or project officer course?
Visit the Acquisition Training page for information regarding acquisition training and the Project Officer Training page for information on project officer training.
3. How do I receive DHHS Acquisition Certification?
You apply to the Acquisition Certification Board. The Board reviews your training, experience and performance and decides whether to grant certification. The certification allows an individual to be granted procurement authority. Note that actually being granted this authority is a separate action. See the acquisition certifications page for details.
First, get certified (see above), then have your office request a warrant for you. Note that this is typically reserved to Contract Specialists above $100,000, and to Purchasing Agents up to $100,000. See the Warrants page for more information.
5. How do the 1102 Qualification Standards work?
Visit the 1102 Qualification page for more information.
6. How does the requirement for Skills Currency training for 1102s effect me?
Visit the Skills Currency page for more information.
