Research Administrator Forum, Listserv, and Research Organization Admin Report (ROAR)

Sponsored Projects Services facilitates a monthly Research Administration (RA) Forum which hosts speakers on pertinent topics, provides training and development opportunities to campus, and communicates opportunities and upcoming changes to processes, policies, and systems.

Research Organization Admin Report (ROAR) is a monthly newsletter from Sponsored Projects Services (SPS) and the Office of Research Contracts (ORC) to outline upcoming deadlines, provide tips and tricks, system updates, and other information relevant to Research Administration.

SPS also moderates the RAMTalk email listserv, which notifies subscribers of training, events including the monthly RA forum, funding announcements, policies, procedures and other research related communications.

NSPM-33 Compliance

Thursday, April 11, 2024 from 11:00 - 12:30pm MST (Tucson) 

This session will provide a broad overview of the proposed NSPM-33 program requirements. We will discuss which requirements are least likely to change and which have the greatest potential to change before the final guidance is released. We will host a dialogue about what participants are doing at their own institutions to prepare and where they are holding off. Finally, we will offer some ideas for how to start or keep the conversation going at your home institution.

Webinar faculty: Amanda Humphrey, Chief Research Operations Officer, Research Enterprise Services, Northeastern University; Lori Ann Schultz, Assistant Vice President, Research Intelligence, University of Arizona; and Pamela Webb, Associate Vice President for Research, Sponsored Projects Administration, University of Minnesota.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Participants will understand which NSPM-33 requirements are least likely to change versus those still in flux.
  2. Participants will build an understanding of how to engage with key stakeholders despite the uncertainty of the final guidance.
  3. Participants will learn from colleagues about what they are doing in these spaces.

Prerequisites

Participants will want a general understanding of NSPM-33 and research security paradigms.
