EARMA – NCURA International Research Management Fellowship
NCURA is pleased to extend to its members a second Call for Fellows for the International Research Management Fellowship BETA. The International Research Management Fellowship Program is a joint initiative between NCURA and EARMA (the European Association of Research Managers and Administrators).
The Fellowship Program has two underlying objectives: (i) the training of research managers, and (ii) enabling US and European research collaboration. This Program is intended to bridge the ‘knowledge gap’ between the different US and EU funding systems. There is an ever increasing amount of international research collaboration, and this fellowship hopes to create a pool of individuals who will be knowledgeable in the application processes and administrative requirements of both US and European funds.
The Program will provide an opportunity for US research administrators to travel to research organizations in Europe and immerse themselves in a program of mutual learning and knowledge exchange. Fellows would be expected to pass on their experiences and knowledge of how research management operates at their institution, and also to respect all organizational rules and cultural practices.
If you think you would be interested in serving as a Fellow between September and November 2010, we have linked below the application, Code of Conduct for Fellows, descriptions of Host Institutions, and selection criteria. Please note that during the BETA phase, all fellows must financially support their own travel and stay.
Applications must be received by July 1st. Please contact NCURA Executive Director Kathleen Larmett with any questions about the program.
