2023 Research Administration Development Plan
Each year, the Research Education and Training Team strategically outlines topics to support research administrators. Training offerings are categorized into four different groups, however, all training may not exclusively fall into these categories.

Delivered by internal or external experts, this series
covers trending topics in the field, including soft
skills (leadership, management, etc.). Four or more will be added throughout the year.
- Think Like a Leader, Lead Like a Multiplier
- E-Retroactive Adjustment Form (RAF) Process Update Training
- Demystifying Participant Support Cost
- Research Compliance Panel Discussion
- Cost Share and OMAR
