Senior Level Workshop
Research Administration - The Practical Side of Leadership

 

For many involved in sponsored programs administration, moving into a leadership position is a goal. While a wealth of information is available on leadership, this workshop is focused on the practical aspects of leadership in the research administration profession.

Each workshop is led by nationally recognized and experienced research administrators who are in leadership positions. The workshop will focus on the practicalities and techniques necessary to direct sponsored program areas and to provide a common direction among stakeholders. This workshop will assist participants in understanding the skill sets that will help you direct an office of research administration, allow you to take on an expanded leadership role, or help you advance to a position as a senior staff member. The workshop will be in a discussion format and participant interaction will be paramount.

  • This workshop provide a multitude of real world issues and possible approaches. The practical focus of this workshop made it a really productive time for me. I often have a to-do list after workshops; but in this case my to-do list is filled mostly with practical tools that I will really use right away. Thanks for offering this to us!

  • I enjoyed the Leadership workshop and thought that the material presented was applicable to the audience it was intended. I am also glad that NCURA has developed this workshop for those of us who have been in the business of research administration for many years.
