<p>Grant Professionals Certification Institute™ (GPCI) administers the Grant Professional Certification (GPC), a certification program that measures an individual’s ability to provide quality grant-related services within an ethical framework. It was established in 2004 by the <a href="http://grantprofessionals.org/">Grant Professionals Association</a><a href="http://grantprofessionals.org/">(GPA)</a> to ensure test integrity and independence.</p>
<div>The GPC Examination was designed within <a href="http://www.credentialingexcellence.org/" target="_blank">National Commission of Certifying Agencies</a> guidelines, and has been psychometrically proven to be valid and reliable. Exam items / questions are periodically reviewed and/or revised by trained Subject Matter Experts working with a psychometrist as prescribed within national testing norms.</div>
<div>Candidates seeking the GPC must submit an experience-based application to be eligible to sit for the examination. Each application is scored by a panel of trained grant professionals. Candidates are notified within a reasonable time whether their application is complete and whether they meet minimum eligibility standards.</div>
