At the heart of many institutions performing research there are departmental administrators supporting the research enterprise, as well as many other tasks. This workshop will spend a full day covering research administration across a broad spectrum of areas including pre-award, post-award, subrecipient monitoring, closeout, and audit. We will spend some time on focused areas of interest including proposal preparation, budgeting, account set-up and monitoring, cost transfers, and compliance. There will be case studies to practice applying knowledge gained from the workshop and for participants to share solutions that work for them at their institutions. We will have time for questions and discussions and hope to have lots of sharing of successes, as well as tools and tips so that participants leave with a stronger skill set in research administration.
