Global Initiatives seeks to be the foremost provider of professional development, knowledge, and leadership in the global research administration and research management community.  We serve all NCURA members - in the International Region and U.S. members who are involved in global research administration- by providing a global network of organizations and institutions for support and partnerships. Our extended networks of research administrators from all over the world including our close relations with many embassies, in DC, would serve as vital starting points to further international research collaborations that addresses borderless global problem. We also offer professional development opportunities, such as our Global Fellowship, to build the requisite infrastructure for the global research enterprise. In addition, Global Initiatives aims to advance the overall NCURA mission by promoting research administration as a career on a worldwide basis- a reflection of NCURA's commitment to diversity and inclusion
