What is Research Integrity Culture and Why Does the Future of Research Depend on It?
The excellence of, and trust in, research produced by Universities is inherently linked to the concepts of research integrity and responsible innovation. Universities and the wider research ecosystem have a collective responsibility in developing and helping embed a culture that supports both these outcomes, thereby maintaining confidence in the scientific process. On the flipside, when things go wrong, Universities are under pressure to provide easy access to means of reporting allegations of research misconduct, including whistle-blower protection, and robust procedures for investigating allegations. Decisions made often in difficult situations need, increasingly, to withstand scrutiny from funders, regulators, and ultimately potentially even the courts, while also protecting the privacy of those involved. This presentation looks at how the UK landscape is changing to meet these challenges.

Demonstrating the Effectiveness of Your Research Office
How do you really know that your Office is effective? In fact, how do you really know that your Office is really effective? Some Offices will undertake customer satisfaction surveys and/or collect anecdotal stories about their services, but strictly speaking this is a measure of appreciation rather than a measure of effectiveness. Other Offices identify specific processes and measure their performance (timeliness, percentage of transactions undertaken correctly etc), or they may adopt integrated balanced scorecard approaches, but these may really be a measure of efficiency rather than effectiveness. To be efficient is often defined as "functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time or effort" whereas effectiveness can be defined as "that activity required to produce a desired or intended result." Therefore, to understand whether one's Office is effective it is necessary to first understand what is the intended result. This will frequently be related to the organisation's strategy, which will be unique to that organisation. In this session the two speakers, who have a combined 60 years research administration experience, including creating, restructuring and reviewing Offices, will use practical examples to illustrate how selected Offices have been effective in supporting institutional strategy. They will conclude with a generalised model enabling participants to connect their own activities to institutional strategy and determine their own organisational effectiveness. Participants will be encouraged to engage and discuss throughout the session.

Management and Communications in a Time of Crisis
The session will offer three different views of managing and undertaking research administration in a time of crisis, namely the recent lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the speakers cannot cover the whole gamut of research administration diversity we hope to try - we work in three different countries (US, Canada, and UK) and are from central and departmental positions. We will reflect on what we did to survive working from home, and what we might do differently should a similar situation occur again. Were our disaster plans up to date? Did all the technology work flawlessly? How did homeschooling children affect our work and psyche? Would we have stayed sane without our pets? Expect anything from the sublime to the ridiculous!

Export Controls: When It’s Not Fundamental Research
How do you know if a research program at your institution will cross the boundaries of "fundamental research" into export-controlled work? Does all non-fundamental research require a government license to proceed? What are the compliance considerations when dealing with non-fundamental research? In this panel discussion, we’ll cover the core principles behind the fundamental research exclusion (or FRE) under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). We’ll walk through specific types of contract clauses and agreements, as well as certain types of tangible items and external parties, that can trigger export compliance requirements for an institution. We’ll then apply these concepts to real-world case studies that arise in the academic and non-profit research community. With the opportunity for in-depth Q&A, we’ll discuss challenges and situations that attendees handle day-to-day at their institutions.

Industry Affiliate Programs: A Model for Increased Research Funding and Industry Engagement
In this session, we will explore contract-based industry affiliate programs. These programs and centers are traditionally established with the help of federal seed funding, such as Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) and Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRCs). With the right faculty commitment and support and with sufficient industry interest, though, these centers can be created without the federal seed funding. This session will give an overview of an industry affiliate program and will explore set up, administration and management, and the benefits to industry and the institution. It will also explore accounting and overhead differences, intellectual property considerations, and best practices for establishing and administering industry affiliate programs.

How to Succeed in the Leadership of Research Management: Influencing and Advocacy Skills
Research management leaders often work with highly gifted people such as scientists, physicians, academics with the highest level of degrees - this can be intimidating. Research managers are often influencing people over whom they have no direct line management and indeed, in some cases, where there is no culture of line management. At the same time, research and its management often are seen as secondary issues to the “real” administrative issues like finance, HR, estates, IT, etc. Research managers must therefore be skilled advocates for research management with other senior administrators within their own organizations. The same is true when seeking to influence funders, policy-makers and others, who may be from a range of backgrounds and specialisms. To rise through the ranks (as many research managers do), and have an impact on both very intelligent researchers, and senior administrators, research managers must hone a very special skill set. It takes inner strength and confidence to rise to a level where top professionals will listen and learn.

Finding the Value in Social Science and Humanities Research
This interactive presentation will build a model of four sources of value from academic research, applied here to the social sciences and humanities. We will use international examples to show how these disciplines can create value for communities, civic spaces, non-profit organisations, policymakers, businesses and the economy. University structures often separate their support for working with these sectors, and we will show how the University of Bristol encourages cross-team working and a holistic approach to impact. A case study will explore how research into classical myths has built valuable collaborations with high schools, robotics companies and military strategists.

Your Institution Needs You: The Role of the Research Office in Strategic Research Planning
Research Offices can bring significant insight and benefit to institutional research planning. As well as providing performance data, they have understanding of internal capabilities (and constraints) and of external agendas and opportunities, to lead to a more nuanced, better focused, and more achievable strategy. Using an international case study approach, this session will explore both the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of strategic research planning. We will include the relationships between research planning and the other areas of institutional planning that need to be considered. Lessons learned and best practices will be identified through an interactive discussion with session participants.

Auditing and Monitoring: Be Not Afraid of Digging in and Learning from What You Find
Getting the contract signed, the IRB approval, and the study enrollment is a huge accomplishment. The work really gets started and the “fun” part of our jobs get going where research can happen! It’s critical that we remember that we are checking in on our progress to ensure that we are meeting regulatory requirements. This is where monitoring and auditing come into the picture. We will discuss the differences of each process, why they are important, and what we can learn from performing each function.

Special Reporting for Sponsored Awards
We’ve all probably mastered the routine reports we are required to submit. Some awards, though, require special reporting. A decade ago we were required to do complex reporting for Recovery Act funding. What will be required for activity funded under the CARES Act or follow-on initiatives? Will we learn that special reporting is required for the COVID-19 related flexibilities? Are there new sources of funding that must be incorporated in to our Single (UG) Audit process? This session will discuss strategies for anticipating and managing special reporting.

Scholarly Writing for Research Administrators: Steps to Becoming a Peer-Reviewed Journal Author
Scholarly writing is a hallmark objective and practice in academia and industry. While this activity is usually considered one exclusive to faculty, research administrators can and should publish scholarly work to contribute to the innovation and understanding of the field of research administration. The Journal of Research Administration (JRA) is the premier academic, peer-reviewed publication in the field of research administration and management. Published twice a year by SRA International, JRA articles are dedicated to the education and the professional development of research administrators. The Journal publishes articles covering the changing research environment worldwide, focusing on quality and innovation in research administration. JRA is a critically important resource for your growth, for the enrichment of the body of knowledge of the art and science of the profession and its allied disciplines. This session will focus on teaching participants the importance of scholarly writing and it will provide a "how-to" for participants to understand how to contribute to JRA and thereby share their knowledge and experience through a publication in the Journal. This session is for research administrators at any level who aspire to author a manuscript for a peer-reviewed journal that describes a professional activity that advances the conduct of research administration.

Sponsored by Cayuse: How Kansas State Successfully Modernized Across the Entire Research Lifecycle
Sponsored by Cayuse, Platinum Sponsor of SRAI.
The Kansas State research enterprise was plagued with a paper work environment, wrought with administrative inefficiencies, antiquated business processes and home grown research admin systems that totaled over 60. These disparate systems, coupled with an attitude of “that is how we have always done it”, balanced with exponential increases in work volume, created a perfect storm for potential program failure, during a period in which proposal submissions and awards received were growing exponentially. In this session you’ll learn about: • How Kansas State solved these challenges • The technologies and processes that helped change the game for them • Their ‘A-Ha’ moments and best practices they picked up along the way • How they are measuring their success Speaker(s): Mollie Robbins Kelly Morgan

Sponsored by InfoEd: Pre-Submission Review Impact on Funding Outcome
Sponsored by InfoEd, a Silver Sponsor of SRAI.
Does last minute submission impact funding success? In order to answer this, we set out to analyze our internal application data of submitted applications associated with eventual awards. We analyzed three data points relative to the application deadline: how long before the deadline they were submitted for internal pre-review (budget/administrative review); how long before the deadline they were submitted for final review/processing; and how long before the deadline they were submitted to Grants.gov. Ninety percent of funded awards were associated with applications submitted into pre-review five or more days before the deadline. Two thirds of funded awards were associated with applications submitted for final review/processing two or more days before the deadline. Eighty seven percent of funded awards were associated with applications submitted to Grants.gov three or more hours before the deadline. More time for review and processing results in better funding outcomes. Speaker(s): Roger Wood Krunal Cholera

Podcasting in Research: Part II
I started producing VIEW to the U, a monthly podcast in the Office of the Vice-Principal, Research, at UofT Mississauga (UTM). This podcast features faculty members from UTM’s 17 different departments talking about their research, its impact, and related topics. I now have 31 tracks, over 10,700 listens and it has been accessed in over 50 countries. I think the podcast has the potential to reach all kinds of audiences including current and potential students, other researchers and/or potential collaborators, alumni, funders, and interested community members. And now with the SRAI author fellowship I will be doing further research about the podcast as a means to communicate academic material and research, and will be able to speak about my findings. I would love the opportunity to present at SRAI, and I think other people might be encouraged to start doing their own podcast or at least consider it as a possibility. The ways in which the podcast can be used to communicate are endless. I can tell them about my experience and lessons learned along the way.

A Brief History of Human Research Protections and Ethics – from Nuremburg to St. Kitts
It is easy to become lost and burdened with regulations which were originally designed to protect us from repeating research abuses of the past. We can easily forget that history and why the system of research protections in place today exists in the form that it does. In this session we will take a tour through the history of research, the foundations of the Belmont Report, and explore the ethical underpinning of our research ethics review systems. We will also explore contemporary research ethics issues. For those new to research, a good history lesson goes a long way to a greater understanding of why the research oversight process exists and how it came to be structured the way it is.

A Capstone Approach to Innovation in Research Administration
Capstone projects in academic program are often used to address complex problems with an ultimate goal of a scholarly product(s) through presentations or publication. Two seasoned research administration scholars are proposing utilization of principles for capstone projects as a means of solving multiple challenges in research administration: process improvement, engagement and development of talented staff members who need to feel valued and recognized for contributing to improved procedures, systems and morale; and providing opportunities for emerging leaders in our profession to development presentations and scholarly works. The added benefit is that engaging talented professionals on this level can help with retention and combating the constant brain drain when those people move on to new challenges. Come be inspired to inspire others. We can do this as a 1/2 day workshop or concurrent session.

A Day in the Life: Conflict of Interest and Its Impact on Research Universities
This presentation shall focus on the topic of "Conflicts of Interest" and how this topic integrates into the broader discussion of "Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)". As universities and funding agencies have begun to stress entrepreneurial and economic development over the past decade, the potential for conflicts that result are not always appreciated by even seasoned administrators and investigators. Whatever the stage of professional development -seasoned researcher, senior administrator, junior faculty member, or graduate student/postdoctoral associate - there is often a lack of understanding for the breadth of the problems faced in the research arena. The focus of this presentation will be on providing a robust framework for decision-making regarding COI situations. The application of this framework to recent case studies will be provided.

Building a Best in Class Clinical Research Program to Drive Growth
Academic medical centers and research hospitals are more often looking at clinical research as a driver to topline clinical revenue through offering novel trials to enhance clinical delivery, increasing ambulatory referrals for tertiary / quaternary care, and creating market differentiation by offering streamlined research contracting to industry. This session course is intended for those interested in understanding they myriad of research administration and operations issues associated with the lifecycle of a clinical trial that may be optimized to increase speed to execution while maintaining institutional compliance. The speakers will discuss methods to the learners related to the pre study feasibility process, as well as the operational, financial and regulatory tasks that must be completed to fulfill institutional/sponsor requirements. The speakers will also discuss their respective strategies in working with researchers to increase enrollment and manage the financial success of the trials.

Building Community in Research Administration
Research administrators are often located in physically separate spaces from each other, and depending on our institutions, our roles may be divided as well: pre-award, post-award, accounting, proposal submission, award negotiation, industry collaborations, clinical trials, material transfers, and more. Because of the variations in our roles and locations, we often work together but may never meet each other, or we may have peers in similar roles but no way to share resources, develop best practices, or strengthen our network. In this session, we will explore how to to build community across the research administration community. We will introduce a few models including a formal learning structure, social and informal learning, and appreciations and recognition for the RA community. The models all work well together or can be used as building blocks as you work to establish, invigorate, and strengthen your institution's research administration community.

Cash Management - Why You Should Count On It as Part of Your Research Administration
Any good accountant would tell you that 'Cash is King'. Having a good Cash Management process whether you are in a centralized office or in a department will allow for your research team to cover immediate expenses, determine the health of your books for clinical trials and assure you can meet upcoming obligations such as payroll.

Celebrating Research Impact from an International Perspective
Impact reporting is of increasing importance internationally as there is more pressure on government funds to demonstrate accountability and value for money to government and taxpayers. Having ‘Broader Impacts’ as part of the NSF funding criteria already, we’d expect impact reporting to increasingly become more important in the USA as well. As such, research managers need to have a good understanding of what impact is in this context as this is a new style of reporting for research. This session will explore what impact reporting is and why it is gaining momentum. We will share experiences and practical examples of how organisations have been implementing impact strategies and how they have been mobilising researchers to engage more with the impact agenda. The session will go into more depth around how you can implement different strategies in a practical way, equipping research managers with tools to support academics to plan, capture and report impact through identifying stakeholders, activities and outcomes and evidencing demonstrable change.

Collaboration in Research Administration: Marrying Pre- to Post-Award Seamlessly
Silos are rampant in Research Administration and isolation of expertise is common. Within the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Utah, we were no exception to that sentiment. In this presentation we’ll outline what was done within our Department to help bridge these gaps, what hurdles we ran into, what processes worked and what didn’t, as well as go through some case studies that challenged our best practices and help to refine our solutions.

International Collaborations: A Changing World for Research Administration and Management
Collaboration has gained attention in the past few decades. Collaboration is necessary for researchers and research administrators to address complex research issues that otherwise cannot be addressed by individual researchers. Collaboration is important for researchers’ and research administrators’ sustainable development in knowledge creation. Research being a knowledge creation activity, interpersonal research collaboration networks are important for knowledge cross-fertilization and research productivity. Thus, learning and transfer through collaborations not only lead to research productivity, but also help researchers and research administrator to maintain their ability for sustainable development in a knowledge economy. While collaboration is increasingly recognized to be important for research, researchers’ and research administrators’ collaboration networks are still not adequately recognized as a form of research capacity, yet funding agencies also favors collaborative research because it can draw diverse expertise, promote creativity and innovation and therefore lead to scientific breakthroughs.

Confronting Conflicts: Identifying and Managing Conflicts of Interest in Research Plus Foreign Influence
The emergence of new and more intense conflicts of interest and commitment are a direct consequence of the entrepreneur university or hospital. While these institutions may be good at promoting an entrepreneurial culture, the development of an infrastructure to properly identify, manage, and monitor the conflicts that emerge is surely lacking. And now, the issue of the influence of foreign interests has additionally emerged as a hot point. Offices of research administration and compliance are left with the responsibility of identifying and managing them. In this session, speaker(s) will identify and discuss strategies for fulfilling these responsibilities.

Creating Collaborative Learning Environments for Pre-Award Research Administrators
Many universities and colleges have a decentralized approach to research administration, meaning that no one person or office administers the entire pre-award process by itself. Often times, it is a mix of people with formal pre-award roles such as in the central or college/department research offices and informal ones, such as departmental accountants and administrative coordinators. These quasi self-formed, temporary teams have members with differences in knowledge-bases, skills and experience with the particular sponsor’s requirements that create the foundations of informal learning environments that can greatly benefit the entire pre-award enterprise and lead to professional growth and skills development across multiple positions. In this session, the speakers will discuss what kinds of learning and mentoring environments are established at their institution and their effectiveness. Additionally, we will lead the group through discussions and exercises on how to best utilize informal learning environments and how “stealth mentoring” can help grow junior research administrators. RA Relevance: Skills development and knowledge acquisition are key areas to the growth of research administrators and the research development enterprise. Sole reliance on formal training sessions overlooks the myriad of opportunities to train and help grow others during the day-to-day development of sponsored proposals.

Developing an Effective Online Learning Program for Grant Administrators
Sponsored Projects Offices seek to develop a skilled and adaptive grants administration workforce to assure that administrators are adhering to the best practices in our field. A successful program will adopt proven methods that promote effective learning, facilitate uniform onboarding of new administrators, and enable established administrators to expand their skill-sets. However, most academic research institutions still rely on outdated methods in their training programs that deliver reams of content on federal policy without measuring outcomes. Partners HealthCare recently launched a system-wide initiative to collaboratively develop online courses as a component of our training program. The courses will feature interactive components, activities that closely model daily grant administration job duties, and randomized assessments to measure learning outcomes. In this presentation, we will share how we went about building the program and the challenges we faced along the way.

Developing Soft Skills in a Deadline-Driven Environment
In 2012, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) implemented centralization of the entire pre-award process with the launching of Research Management Services (RMS). This brought a different light to how the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) managed preparation and submission of applications and administrative requirements to meet sponsor deadlines. Immersion training of the new business unit included a session devoted specifically to communications, development of partnerships, and identifying and dealing with different personalities. From the immersion training the RMS teams developed Core Competencies, a set of qualities and skills developed to create a cohesive philosophy and best practice to conduct business as professionals, successfully manage interaction with clients and partners, and measure performance. During this session presenters will share the UCSF Core Competencies and how they apply through interactive case studies with the help of a polling application (Poll Everywhere) to stimulate discussion with the audience. Case Study topics will cover managing Principal Investigators (PIs) who are consistently late in providing proposal information and/or materials, redirecting PIs who insist on including unallowable costs on a federal application budget, making an application deadline with a PI who's missing in action, best practices for responding to sponsor notifications or requests, making submission deadlines when sponsors make last minute changes, building good partnership to ensure timely receipt of information needed for requests and reports.

Doing Less and Achieving More
This session will present the steps taken by UC Berkeley's central pre-award office to modify its proposal review model to include only essential institutional issues and concerns, thus freeing up Berkeley's contract and grant officers to focus on the more time consuming tasks of award review, negotiation, and set-up. Participants will learn about the institutional proposal review model, how central and regional RAs now work collaboratively to implement this model, and how obstacles to the model were resolved. The strategies that were used to involve and train pre-award staff will also be presented.

Effective Strategies for Managing Accounts Receivable
Collecting on accounts receivable can seem like an overwhelming task. It’s often left as the last priority. There are many deadline-driven requirements for a sponsored project that seem more critical and get more attention. However, managing accounts receivable and the effort to collect on payments owed is vital to a healthy research enterprise and one of the most important aspects of an organizations’ research operations. Join us to learn best practices for accounts receivable collections for sponsored projects. We’ll review suggested approaches and strategies that you can implement to improve collections and reduce delinquent receivables. We’ll also look at benchmarks to measure progress and success.

Everything You Need to Know about Research Financial Compliance
This workshop will focus on how research administrators can manage reduction of administrative burdens, using the notion that a research administrator's main objective is to help advance the science - where the objective can be achieved while protecting the institution, in the least intrusive/minimal burden pathway that does not create further obstructions. This workshop will also discuss how, in the rapidly, ever changing world of research compliance, it has become difficult to know what to comply to and/or with. As auditors become more savvy, research administrators are being tested more so than ever, regarding: a) knowledge of the regulations and required action; b) knowledge of your operational internal controls and how they map to rules; c) evidence that the controls are consistently applied throughout the institution. This workshop will discuss real strategies and tactics, including use of streamlined electronic tools/examples in order to comply with a breadth of research compliance topics.

Evolving Practices in Research Information Management
The purpose of this presentation is to provide an insight into the evolving practices in research information management, from basic principles to application of quantitative analyses in many if not all spheres of research management. Starting from the theory behind and the basic principles of relational database systems, the session will discuss a pro-active approach to addressing reporting requirements as well as the pitfalls of evidence-informed policy. A subsequent overview of classic research performance indicators and more modern research drivers will show that data increasingly affects all aspects of the research domain.

Export Controls: When It’s Not Fundamental Research
How do you know if a research program at your institution will cross the boundaries of "fundamental research" into export-controlled work? Does all non-fundamental research require a government license to proceed? What are the compliance considerations when dealing with non-fundamental research? In this panel discussion, we’ll cover the core principles behind the fundamental research exclusion (or FRE) under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). We’ll walk through specific types of contract clauses and agreements, as well as certain types of tangible items and external parties, that can trigger export compliance requirements for an institution. We’ll then apply these concepts to real-world case studies that arise in the academic and non-profit research community. With the opportunity for in-depth Q&A, we’ll discuss challenges and situations that attendees handle day-to-day at their institutions.

Extroverts Working Remotely
This session focuses on the people in every organization who are high touch and high connectivity. They draw ideas and inspiration from their interactions with co-workers as they work through issues and challenges but….they are working remote! Topics will include the ways in which organizations can foster these individuals so that the same synergies they generate in the office take place while off site. Some day-to-day challenges, facing extroverts in particular and all of us in recent experience, will be explored as well. How do you identify an extrovert/introvert as we meet and interact remotely? This understanding helps us more seamlessly interact with colleagues by accommodating varying work styles and personalities.

Facilitating Success for New Investigators: The Crucial First Year
Identifying and hiring new investigators is a major strategy to build or enhance institutional research capacity, representing a commitment of time, money and other resources. Depending on the area of research, a new investigator might be a million dollar investment. However, to receive a full return on that investment, it is important to ensure that new investigators get a good start in the crucial first year. This session will identify four areas of challenges new investigators face in establishing their research career (personal, research, academic. and logistics ) and will provide a set of institutional services and resources that will facilitate success for these investigators.

Finding the Value in Social Science and Humanities Research
This interactive presentation will build a model of four sources of value from academic research, applied here to the social sciences and humanities. We will use international examples to show how these disciplines can create value for communities, civic spaces, non-profit organisations, policymakers, businesses and the economy. University structures often separate their support for working with these sectors, and we will show how the University of Bristol encourages cross-team working and a holistic approach to impact. A case study will explore how research into classical myths has built valuable collaborations with high schools, robotics companies and military strategists.

First Line of Defense: Understanding the Relationship Between Insurance and Indemnity and Contract Risks - Are You Really Protected?
Despite what we are told, insurance does not protect us from all liability. This session will discuss the interplay between insurance and indemnity provisions in a contract. We will discuss best contracting practices for insurance and indemnification provisions, including the types of insurance coverage that is essential in a clinical trial. We review specific contract provisions in relation to the protections provided by both insurance and indemnification provisions. Specific contract provisions will include subject injury, conduct of the study, payment for services, delegation of sponsor/PI responsibilities, subcontracting, affiliates and network relationships, and confidentiality.

Foreign Influence: A New Research Concern?
Several federal agencies have expressed growing concerns about inappropriate influence by foreign entities impacting federally-funded research. As a result, academic research institutions have a heightened interest in understanding the collaborations faculty members may have with foreign colleagues, governments and entities. The spirit of research encourages international collaboration but the reconciliation between this open and willing sharing and acceptable and transparent practices is challenging.

Forging and Sustaining Award-Winning Research Partnerships Between Minority-Serving Institutions and Research-Intensive Institutions
The participation of underrepresented individuals in biomedical sciences is a critical issue affecting our nation’s health and the future of research. By 2050, less than 50 percent of the general population will be non-Hispanic whites, making the United States a majority-minority country. However, our nation’s biomedical scientists represent a largely homogeneous profession, with certain racial/ethnic groups persistently underrepresented in the research workforce. To address these challenges, multiple NIH institutes support both grant mechanisms to promote the development of partnerships between minority-serving institutions and research-intensive institutions and expanding capacities and capabilities for conducting research, notably disparities-focused research. Many of these mechanisms are quite complex, but the value generated from successful partnerships is significant to the minority-serving institution, the research-intensive institution and the field of biomedical sciences in general. This session reviews best practices in forming these types of research partnerships and presents field-tested strategies to sustain them. Specifically, the presentation focuses on: • defining the institutional and cultural challenges in forging inter-institutional partnerships. • identifying the types of funding available for building these partnerships in support of minority work force development and the promotion of minority health disparities research. • delineating the institutional commitments required for success. • providing grant-writing strategies and critical planning and evaluation efforts needed for submitting successful inter-institutional applications. • presenting lessons learned from previous partnership experiences.

Foundations of IACUC and Animal Activities in Research Administration
Poor communication between the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and members of sponsored programs, grants and contracts offices, and research administrative staff, can lead to missteps in adherence to regulations. In addition, when the responsibilities and scope of the IACUC are not well explained, known, or understood, the interpretation of necessary compliance holds can sound more like “Hi, my name is IACUC and I’ll be holding up your grant award today”. IACUCs have defined regulatory requirements to which they are beholden and the administrative offices that support them must uphold the requirements. These federal and state regulations affect pre- and post-award activities, subcontracts, and other facets of research administration. Research Administrators are often caught in the middle of these “compliance holds”. In this first section of a two part session (refer to Part 2: “IACUC and Research Administration: why and when our paths cross and how to improve the journey”), the University of Michigan’s IACUC Office will provide the foundations of IACUCs and how IACUCs and animal activities overlap with Research Administration(ors). Focusing on how regulations relate to research administration, we will first review cornerstone regulations, terminology, review processes, and required documents and assurances. Participants are encouraged to bring questions, scenario’s, quips, and concerns to the discussion. Our goal is to help Research Administrators navigate the IACUC and the processes related to grants and contracts, to reduce administrative burden, and to facilitate research administration by sharing foundational knowledge of IACUC regulations and processes, opening channels of communication, and helping us all asking the right questions at the right time. Participants will be able to describe the basic regulations governing animal research and identify when IACUC regulations affect research administration functions.

Grant Management Prospects in Developing Countries - The CaBERA Feat
Juxtaposing grant management and developing countries often have a negative connotation, especially considering the fact that developing countries are still building their capacity to do cutting edge research. This presentation will focus on the success story of the NIH awarded CaBERA and IEARDA grants and how the implementation of these grants has improved and facilitated efficient research management at Noguchi and the Medical School. The presentation will trace the genesis of research management at Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research and University of Ghana Medical School, and the innovative uprising of research management. A few of the challenges faced during the implementation and how these challenges were overcome will also be shared in the presentation.

Hiring the Best Candidate: Maybe Experienced, Maybe a Potential Grow-Your-Own Research Administrator
The session will be based around activities and discussions from senior representatives of four major sectors of the profession: large institutions (universities and independent labs), medical research organizations, Federal Government administrators and small to mid-sized Universities. Participants will learn strategies for identifying applicant strengths and potential as new members of a research administration team. Much of the discussion will center on the interview process and discussion points will include but not be limited to: (1) identifying applicant skill weaknesses of misrepresentations related to skills and experience. (2) identifying and developing a rationale for selecting one applicant over others. (3)Being aware of one's personal biases and controlling emotional responses that could effect selection. (4) Weighing established applicant skills over those which are transferable-- that is, the potential for trainability and growth. Along with a guided discussion from the panel, role playing, mock interviews and other activities will be used to reinforce the participant's understanding and retention of the topics discussed.

Demonstrating the Effectiveness of Your Research Office
How do you really know that your Office is effective? In fact, how do you really know that your Office is really effective? Some Offices will undertake customer satisfaction surveys and/or collect anecdotal stories about their services, but strictly speaking this is a measure of appreciation rather than a measure of effectiveness. Other Offices identify specific processes and measure their performance (timeliness, percentage of transactions undertaken correctly etc), or they may adopt integrated balanced scorecard approaches, but these may really be a measure of efficiency rather than effectiveness. To be efficient is often defined as "functioning in the best possible manner with the least waste of time or effort" whereas effectiveness can be defined as "that activity required to produce a desired or intended result." Therefore, to understand whether one's Office is effective it is necessary to first understand what is the intended result. This will frequently be related to the organisation's strategy, which will be unique to that organisation. In this session the two speakers, who have a combined 60 years research administration experience, including creating, restructuring and reviewing Offices, will use practical examples to illustrate how selected Offices have been effective in supporting institutional strategy. They will conclude with a generalised model enabling participants to connect their own activities to institutional strategy and determine their own organisational effectiveness. Participants will be encouraged to engage and discuss throughout the session.

How to Create Proposal Review Ninjas
Proposal review is something that is difficult to stay sharp on if it isn't your full-time job. Your department or institution may have specific times of the year where your swimming in proposals, or maybe even once every 5 years. Here is a framework to breakdown proposal review into digestible components that any research administrator can learn, follow, and develop their own framework for proposal review. This will include examples of checklists, workflows, and provide the basis for you to create your own infrastructure to ensure you are hitting the important aspects of a proposal review at your institution.

How to Succeed in the Leadership of Research Management: Influencing and Advocacy Skills
Research management leaders often work with highly gifted people such as scientists, physicians, academics with the highest level of degrees - this can be intimidating. Research managers are often influencing people over whom they have no direct line management and indeed, in some cases, where there is no culture of line management. At the same time, research and its management often are seen as secondary issues to the “real” administrative issues like finance, HR, estates, IT, etc. Research managers must therefore be skilled advocates for research management with other senior administrators within their own organizations. The same is true when seeking to influence funders, policy-makers and others, who may be from a range of backgrounds and specialisms. To rise through the ranks (as many research managers do), and have an impact on both very intelligent researchers, and senior administrators, research managers must hone a very special skill set. It takes inner strength and confidence to rise to a level where top professionals will listen and learn.

How to Use the Compliance Supplement to Get Started
The Compliance Supplement introduces critical areas (e.g. allowability, cash management) with clear internal controls and compliance areas in easy-to-digest segments. Breaking down the different parts and sections is a great way to start a post-award career as it provides the basics while touching upon the compliance areas that need to be top of mind for an administrator to understand policy and procedure decisions. The Supplement streamlines resources as a tool for users to explore further areas of interest and this presentation will showcase this resource.

Human Subjects Protection: Before, During, and After
The success of human research studies lies on the element of trust – trust in investigators and the process they conduct the studies. This session will review a variety of key points along a “research cycle” of a human subject study which include IRB review, post approval monitoring, reporting responsibilities and the most recent disclosure requirements. The conduct of human subject research should be facilitated and monitored through a study’s life cycle. The “active engagement of study participants” will be utilized to separate the 3 stages, i.e. Before, During, and After, in the discussion, in order to enhance the quality of human subjects studies.

I’m a Twin? Wait? I’m Really A Triplet? We Were in Research?!
Research misconduct and ethical violations are more historically common than most realize in our society. There are those that are well known in the research community from the Nazi War Crimes to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. But, other stories exist. One entitled “Three Identical Strangers” was recently highlighted by an award-winning documentary at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. This fascinating story unfolds about a triplets who were adopted into separate households at six months of age. The parents were never told of the existence of the other siblings. They were also not told that they were all, the children and the parents, in a project studying the idea of nature versus nurture. This session will discuss case study, the ethics of the research, and the current standing of these men as we know it now.

IACUC and Research Administration: Why and When Our Paths Cross and How to Improve the Journey
Ever wonder why the IACUC holds up an award release? Curious about why an IACUC protocol is needed and how it affects a subcontract? Frustrated by grant congruencies? Unsure what an MOU is and why they are needed? Poor communication between the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and members of sponsored programs, grants and contracts offices, and research administrative staff, can lead to missteps in adherence to regulations. In addition, when the responsibilities and scope of the IACUC are not well explained, known, or understood, the interpretation of necessary compliance holds can sound more like “Hi, my name is IACUC and I’ll be holding up your grant award today”. IACUCs have defined regulatory requirements to which they are beholden and the administrative offices that support them must uphold the requirements. These federal and state regulations affect pre- and post-award activities, subcontracts, and other facets of research administration. Research Administrators are often caught in the middle of these “compliance holds”. In this second section of a two part session (refer to Part 1: “Foundations of IACUC and Animal Activities in Research Administration”), the University of Michigan’s IACUC Office will briefly review the regulations, terminology, and review processes of “IACUCs”, and then take an in-depth look into the ways in which IACUC rules and regulations interact with, and affect pre- and post-award activates. Participants are encouraged to bring questions, scenario’s, quips, and concerns to the discussion. Our goal is to help Research Administrators navigate the IACUC and the processes related to grants and contracts, to reduce administrative burden, and to facilitate research administration by sharing foundational knowledge of IACUC regulations and processes, opening channels of communication, and helping us all asking the right questions at the right time. Participants will be able to identify when IACUC regulations affect research administration functions and analyze when IACUC involvement is, or may be needed.

Identifying and Addressing Process Improvements in Sponsored Projects Offices
Process improvement often takes a backseat to deadline-driven tasks and seems virtually impossible to accomplish in the midst of a pandemic. However, identifying areas of need in process efficiency and developing tools and processes to meet those needs can assist sponsored project offices in areas such as reducing administrative burden on faculty and staff, helping to ensure compliance, reducing errors and just making life a little easier. During this session, we will discuss how to balance the needs of day-to-day operations while prioritizing efficiency enhancements to accomplish long-term benefits for all.

Indirect Cost Rates – A Non-Profit Perspective
Almost every research institution must engage in the process of negotiating federal indirect rates. Non-profits face unique challenges under the Uniform Guidance in preparing, submitting and negotiating indirect rates. As we go through this process, many of us often wonder if we have done everything we can do within the constraints of federal regulations in order to maximize our institution’s negotiated indirect rate and resulting indirect cost recovery. In this session, we will discuss strategies that may be employed to maximize indirect cost recovery, both in the preparation of your indirect rate proposal as well as during the subsequent rate negotiation and budgeting of indirect costs on grants and contracts. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences concerning the indirect rate process.

Industry Affiliate Programs: A Model for Increased Research Funding and Industry Engagement
In this session, we will explore contract-based industry affiliate programs. These programs and centers are traditionally established with the help of federal seed funding, such as Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) and Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRCs). With the right faculty commitment and support and with sufficient industry interest, though, these centers can be created without the federal seed funding. This session will give an overview of an industry affiliate program and will explore set up, administration and management, and the benefits to industry and the institution. It will also explore accounting and overhead differences, intellectual property considerations, and best practices for establishing and administering industry affiliate programs.

INORMS: Best Practices in Research Evaluation, Materials for Senior Decision Makers
An international working group of INORMS members have been working over the last two years to develop some briefing materials for research managers to engage their senior leaders and decision makers with best practices in research evaluation. The guidance is based on a 5-step process, called SCOPE. This stands for: START with what you value; CONTEXT considerations; OPTIONS for evaluating; PROBE deeply; EVALUATE your evaluation. This session wi unpack the SCOPE model and allow participants to explore whether and how this might be used in their own settings.

Introduction to the NIH Grants Policy Statement
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest federal grant making agency in the world. The National Institute of Health (NIH) Grants Policy Statement (GPS) provides researchers and research administrators alike with a powerful resource to answer a broad range of questions regarding NIH grants and cooperative agreements, but at over 350 pages in length, the NIH GPS can be a very intimidating document. This session will put participants at ease with using the NIH GPS for maximum effectiveness, by presenting the document and the most common policy issues raised The session will be enhanced if you have a paper or pdf copy at your disposal for personal markup.

Is Research Administration Becoming Too Specialized?
Over the past decade the field of research administration has become specialized. Prior to uniform guidance much of the field was divided into pre, post, and compliance. These days you have clinical research administration, subawards, contracts, and risk assessment, to name a few and this is just the pre award services. Under post award services you now have invoicing and draw teams, payment manager’s/accounts receivable, grant analysts, closeout teams and risk assessment. Is this out of necessity or the natural course as the field evolves? Whether you are a large research institution or a PUI without specialized teams, this session will explore the pros and cons of diversifying research administration; Outline strategies for cross training and breaking down silos; and determine weaknesses in the infrastructure to improve the sharing of information and knowledge.

Keeping Up with ClinicalTrials.gov: A Systematic Approach in Maintaining Compliance
It is scientifically and ethically imperative for researchers to understand it is a key commitment to our research participants to report the results of the clinical trials, so that we can advance knowledge and make informed medical decisions about health care. This session will discuss the most recent federal mandates and requirements of clinical trials disclosure and the best practice. The presenters will share the approach of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to establish an effective program for clinical trials registration and results reporting at their institution. Rutgers’ Human Subjects Protection Program (HSPP) has taken a proactive approach to identify key issues and facilitate investigator compliance within ClinicalTrials.gov records through the HSPP website and continued education and training.

Lessons I Learned from Mom about Being a Great Research Administrator
Mothers universally pass along life lessons to their children. As a child, we may interpret those messages as silly or bothersome (especially when she repeats them over and over); however, I discovered many of them have served me well as a research administrator. For example, my mother always insisted that I wear clean underwear. Come learn how that message and more are directly relevant to my life as a research administrator.

Leveraging Technology to Enhance the Efficiency of Research Administration
Research administration has evolved through the years to be a significant contribution in the functioning of institutions. With the ever increasing demand for research and innovation, the regulatory and compliance requirements have become more complex. There are a number of ways that existing and emerging technologies can be leveraged to improve efficiency of Research Administration. In addition to new technologies, improved use of available data aggregated and anonymized, and collected from a variety of sources, including social media, and other private sectors has the potential to enhance both the precision and efficiency of Research Administration. Technology and innovations will lead to the culture of high standard research performance in the institutions, promote research efforts, enhance the capacity of researchers and research administrator.

Managing a Research Unit
A research unit presents a unique set of challenges by the nature of being self-reliant on funding. As a department research administrator, one must be prepared to be a “jack of all trades”. While each research unit has its unique set of challenges and requirements, one thing is constant – the need for prioritization to maximize your ability to work with researchers to fulfill their requirements. This presentation will talk about the pre- and post- award responsibilities of a unit. We will also look at projecting research expenditures, how to manage funding lapses for researchers, basics of Human Resources for research managers, immigration and intellectual property issues. The great thing about being a department administrator is no two days are the same!

Managing for Foreign Influence Risk
There are increasing concerns over the potential influence of foreign states on U.S. academia, particularly as it pertains to international collaborations in research. As the landscape continues to evolve, higher education institutions will be increasingly pressured to provide full disclosure of foreign involvement at all levels of the organization, ensuring flawless coordination of personnel, students, grants and data across many offices and roles. This session explores the issue of foreign influence and the impact it has on a multitude of moving parts at higher education institutions — from pre- and post-award offices to compliance and academic affairs — and provides best practices on how to manage foreign affiliations.

Post-Award Metrics in Research Administration: Performing Up to Standards
Meaningful metrics are key tools for managing productivity, providing insight into financial health and monitoring compliance with sponsored award regulations. Yet, institutions continue to struggle with common roadblocks to producing metrics, including the use of multiple systems, cumbersome reporting solutions and competing priorities. Overcoming these roadblocks and figuring out the when, what and how of metrics allow post-award leaders to transform post-award operations into a high-functioning business unit that is responsive to stakeholder needs. This session provides best practices for implementing and monitoring metrics throughout the award management lifecycle. It also presents specific metrics for post-award business processes, including cycle times, financial goals, staffing considerations and benchmarking.

NFRI: Nonprofit Funder and Research Institution Partnership
NFRI, the partnership between nonprofit funding organizations and research institutions, has made significant progress toward the development of a library of shared resources for our communities. With input from almost three hundred participants since 2017, NFRI is addressing mutual challenges and goals related to intellectual property, research project support and F&A costs, as well as administrative processes such as application procedures, budgeting and reporting templates, and terms and conditions for research. While each sponsor is unique, and institutional policies and procedures vary, these materials offer common ground for improving communication and giving us better information for managing these crucial areas of the research enterprise. Committees representing over fifty nonprofit sponsors and over eighty research institutions collaborated on this toolkit of documents, templates, and reference materials. We are presenting these resources and seeking further input from sponsors and research institutions to further expand the use and value of this very exciting partnership.

Onward & Onboard
Too many organizations miss the opportunity to properly onboard their employees; either by providing too little support and resources or by assuming what their needs are and missing the mark. Successfully retaining talent largely rests on the employee's experience when joining an organization. A personalized and comprehensive onboarding program is especially important in complex organizations to set the right tone for employee engagement and overall employee experience. Effective employee onboarding experiences should include an introduction to company culture, systems and resources and allow the individual to arrive and thrive from day one. Seattle Children’s has successfully implemented a best in class onboarding program specific to the research institute, and this session will lift the hood and show you how we implemented our program, how we measure success, and what lessons we are learning along the way.

Post-Award Red Flags “What Happens When Your Faculty Member Surprises You?”
This session is a discussion of case studies from issues that resulted from the lack of inclusion in award terms and conditions or contracts which ultimately resulted in difficult award management issues. These post award case studies will look at examples of when faculty members or administrative support informs or surprises sponsored programs, research staff, and/or accounting about things they did not know were part of the award. Some examples may include travel, equipment, sub awards, cost share, and stipends.

Publication of Research vs. Protection of Sensitive Data & Agreements
Tensions or confusion seem to exist between data protection and the academic goals of publication and data sharing; especially when research data obtained from participants contain personal data, sensitive or confidential information. Traditionally, universities and other nonprofit institutions push to publish everything and commercial organizations publish nothing. Often extensive negotiations have been conducted over what can be published, just how long a university or site has to wait to publish, and whether an institution can publish independently or only in concert with other sites or with the sponsor’s handpicked publication committee . Now, with commercialization of research the norm, and with the potential for malicious exploitation of research vastly increased, the question of publication and protection of sensitive data is much more complex. This is particularly true when even the most personal data (e.g., genetic information) may be commercially valuable. Even more difficult are the issues that surround the proper methods to be used to acquire sensitive data that is not freely published. Large, publicly held companies have been prosecuted for industrial espionage for obtaining information from former employees of their competitors. Other companies openly sell information obtained from the new industry of "data mining." This session will provide an overview of the present status of the perennial issues surrounding publication versus protection of data. Some of the topics to be covered are: • Relationship between informed consent for data sharing and other uses of data such as publication • Identity issues and anonymizing research data • Access restrictions for all or part of the data (e.g. restrict access to citizens and permanent aliens) • Planning for data sharing • How confidential information will be kept, stored and used safely • How and when personal information may be removed to anonymize data • How and when informed consent can be obtained for “future research” on data being compiled under existing project(s)

Research Administration as a Profession - Growing in Our Careers
Research administration has evolved significantly from its early days of manual ledgers, grant proposals were submitted in hand-written copies and expenditures tracked in the margins of a lab notebook. As regulations and requirements grew increasingly complex, our roles in managing research have also changed resulting in the emergence of a new profession, a new career track distinguishable from other areas. We are not just accountants, or lawyers, or teachers or writers, we are research administrators. In 2016, a survey was launched to conduct research on research administration as a profession. A follow-on longitudinal survey was conducted in 2019 to view how we are continuing to evolve individually and as a whole. Join two study PIs in a discussion of the survey results and what we have learned so far about career projections, skills-sets, opportunities and current hot topics in research administration. How might the survey results help you in planning your next career move or figure out what areas of expertise you might need to develop to prepare you for your next level?

Research Assessment, University Strategy and Interdisciplinarity: A Finnish Perspective
How do institutional research assessment, University strategy and interdisciplinarity link and meet? Starting with introducing our approach to research assessment and its outcomes I aim to engage the audience for reflecting its added value for the academic community, as well as how these feed to our strategy and its implementation. For research administration, key issues towards the implementation are (not in order of importance) supporting the researchers on 1) identifying opportunities for funding and 2) building collaborations that utilize possibilities on, e.g., emerging new data and novel methods for analyzing them.
At the University of Helsinki (UH), a top 3 Nordic university, we just concluded a comprehensive research assessment. Key goals for this assessment were to 1) provide input to the development of the University strategy and 2) through expert peer feedback, help our research community strengthen the competitiveness of our research further. The assessment confirmed that we have internationally excellent research at all our campuses and that research impact is already at a very good level. This gives a strong basis for encouraging multi- and interdisciplinary research collaboration, and this has been chosen to be one of the strategic goals for UH in the coming years.

Research Capacity Building and Enhancing Competitiveness through Research Administration at Liberal Arts Colleges
This presentation will address research administrators at primarily undergraduate institutions to gain insights on best practices to strengthen research capacity. These include but are not limited to: culture of service and support, myriad of research resources and scholarships, internal peer review processes, faculty mentoring, collaborative workshops and research visibility. We will highlight how a research support office can play a critical role in sustainable implementation of such frameworks and practices. Yale-NUS College is a partnership of Yale University and the National University of Singapore and is the leading liberal arts College in Asia. We aim to redefine liberal arts and science education for a complex interconnected world. Since its inception, the College has taken strategic initiatives to build a culture that will transcend the perceived dichotomy of teaching and research. The College supports the active research of its faculty, and offers opportunities for synergies with our founding partner institutions. Through successful integration of solid research teams and swathe of institutional resources, we have been successful in securing multi-million dollar external grant funding. We ensure that we have the capacity to generate impactful grant applications, and continuously aim to develop expertise for greater “grantsmanship”.

Research Impact and ORCID: Basics and Benefits
Research impact can be difficult to assess without access to a broader picture of connections between researchers, the institutions they are affiliated with, funding received, resources used, collaborations, and deliverables. Stakeholders in the research and scholarly communication landscape are increasingly recognizing the need for name disambiguation and system interoperability in order to establish these connections, meet reporting requirements, and measure impact, while also reducing administrative burden. ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor Identifier) is an international nonprofit organization that provides a persistent digital identifier (an ORCID iD) for researchers that also serves as a record of their affiliations, activities, funding, and works. ORCID iDs persistently link researchers to their contributions and institutional affiliations over time while also serving as a mechanism for interoperability of data across systems, significantly improving the flow of research information within and between organizations at every stage of the research lifecycle, from grant application and publication to research information management reporting and assessment. Faculty activities, research business informatics, and profile systems have started leveraging ORCID to improve higher-education services in research offices, libraries, and technology units at research institutions across the globe. In the US alone, over 125 research institutions are ORCID members, and adoption is steadily increasing. This presentation will cover the basics of ORCID from a research impact and assessment perspective, including how ORCID can be used to mitigate confusion caused by name ambiguity, assess research activities for individuals and groups, assert institutional affiliations to your researchers’ ORCID records, and save time and reduce administrative burden both institutionally and for your researchers.

Research Integrity Investigations at the NSF Office of the Inspector General
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is responsible for investigating allegations of wrongdoing associated with NSF proposals and funded research. This presentation will provide insights into our processes through a series of case studies that illustrate the full range of allegations we investigate, including fraud, embezzlement, research misconduct, and other violations of research integrity, such as violations of human subjects regulations, conflicts of interest, peer review, and unreported affiliations and support from foreign entities. In addition to reviewing recent administrative, civil, and criminal outcomes, we will also present the results of our project on serial spending, a practice where PIs with multiple grants spend down their oldest grant while making no drawdowns on newer grants despite reporting progress on those projects.

Resolving Cost Share Conundrums
During the session we'll address some common questions about cost share - what it is, how cost principles impact it, the types of cost share, sources of cost share, how a sponsor can capture it, and how you can document it. How do different organizations support cost share or require different protocols to build a cost share package. What do you do when the sponsor pushes non-mandatory cost share or a commitment is made accidentally? Have you ever had that 'what were they thinking?!? moment when looking at a cost share package? Let's share some educational stories about dealing with over commitment and determining the need for cost share. A session with lots of info, answers, and audience participation.

SBIR/STTR: The Big Picture of Small Business Research
SBIR and STTR projects can provide valuable research and financial opportunities to small businesses and the universities with whom they collaborate, but they also present a unique set of challenges. From Conflicts of Interest, IP and Data Rights to invoicing and payment; these projects, which are designed to promote research, have a very real potential to hinder it. This session will highlight the important Program requirements often overlooked by the Small Businesses and shed light on the challenges of partnering with Research Institutions. We will discuss the proposal process, the contract terms, flow down clauses, and various risk mitigation methods available.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Creating Collaborative Administrative Environments for the Development of Large Proposals
Large multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary, and/or multi-institution proposals can be an administrative rabbit hole for principal investigators to navigate. They can also create administrative nightmares for all of the research support offices that are involved. When large proposals are developed, there may be several research administrators assigned to a proposal with overlapping expertise and, let’s be honest, opinions on how to craft winning proposals. The University of Tennessee has staffed up central proposal development resources, in addition to having an Office of Sponsored Programs and also college-level proposal development offices to help achieve its vision of a top-tier, “R1” level research institution. Structurally, the university has institutionalized the possibility of the “too many cooks” idiom; however, between the individual administrators, we have been able create a collaborative environment on each proposal to ensure that the investigator team feels supported and not overwhelmed by the assistance. In this session, the presenters will discuss how we plan and execute large and complex proposals, including discuss past pitfalls and lessons-learned. The presenters, from the University’s Office Research and Engagement and from the Engineering Research Office will share how their roles and responsibilities adapt to fit the project and the PI’s needs and how to harness individual expertise to help the research team create fundable proposals. RA Relevance: Sponsored programs development is more and more becoming a collaborative endeavor at the research administrator level. Understanding how to utilize the strengths and experiences of individual research administrators within a proposal team is key to seamless support to the investigator.

Teamwork from the Top: How to Make the Most of All Players on Your Administrative Team
Research Development is a relatively new kid on the block when it comes to research administration. Brown University formally opened an Office of Research Development in the Spring of 2015. In the past five years we have developed a strong working relationship with our Office of Sponsored Projects, establishing standard operating procedures that not only benefited each offices' work processes but ultimately lead to funding for our faculty. In this presentation, which will be co-presented by the Associated Directors of both offices, a full case study will be discussed and both offices' rolls and responsibilities will be highlighted. From the identification of a unique DARPA funding opportunity, team building, providing seed funds to the team, to the securing of the funding to the handling of the subcontracts and reporting - the teamwork and collaborative efforts of the offices and the administrative contacts in the departments involved will be discussed.

The 21st Century Leader: Using Data to Support Strategic and Operational Decision-Making
The best business schools teach that the 21st century leader must be a master in using data to drive organizational decisions. And yet, universities themselves tend to lag behind, with too many decisions being made on the basis of intuition or tradition. Using an international case study approach (Canada and the U.S.) the presenters will identify key activities which exploit the value of information in guiding institutional success. Topics will include: business questions and associated measures, data management practices, building an analytical team, and promoting a data culture. Best practices and lessons learned will be identified through an interactive discussion with session participants.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and Its Impact on Department of Defense Contracting
By the end of January 2020, the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to issue the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (“CMMC”). The CMMC's goal is to protect Federal Contract Information (“FCI”) and Controlled Unclassified Information (“CUI”) and to work to mitigate the associated national security and economic risks. The CMMC will combine various existing cybersecurity standards and will measure an institution’s maturity of institutional cybersecurity practices. The CMMC will represent a major shift in DoD contracting. Institutions must be affirmatively certified to a particular level of cybersecurity compliance and processes, rather than simply being subject to post-award scrutiny for operating according to applicable cybersecurity standards (e.g., DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST SP 800-171, NIST 800-53, etc.). CMMC will begin appearing in Requests for Information in June 2020, so research institutions seeking DoD funded contracts must be prepared for its implementation, both from an information technology and contracting standpoint.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: What Research Professionals Need to Know
The presentation will give an overview of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). We will explain how, when and why the FCPA applies to research activities. We will provide attendees with the information they need to assess whether the FCPA is implicated in the particular research activity undertaken. If it is, then we will provide attendees with a framework to be able to address the risk created by the FCPA implication. The FCPA may be implicated by many types of research activities and collaborations, including collaborations with international institutions, speaking at international conferences, and teaching foreign learners. Attendees should know what the FCPA is and how it may apply to them. This presentation will go over what the FCPA is, why it was enacted, and how it applies in the research context. We will also go over some strategies to address FCPA risk, including developing policies and procedures and sample contract language.

The Return of the Jedi: A Walk Through Career Planning
The Jedi Knights are back! At the 2019 SRAI Annual Meeting, we provided session attendees with tools and strategies to recognize and express their professional value (experience, education, gender, and organizational structure) in the workplace. Many individuals working hard to build a career often do not take the time to strategize and implement a career plan. During this session, 3 research administrators at different stages in their career journey through the research administration galaxy: Jedi Knight (10-15 yrs in the field), Jedi Master (15-20 yrs), and Jedi Grandmaster (over 20 years) will provide guidance and advice on thinking and having a big picture approach to your career. This session aims to ignite new ways of thinking about your career in the research administration. An administrator at any level of research administration who feels they do not have a strategy for their career plan, this session is for you!

Top Three Components of Measuring Research Impact
Research Impact is becoming increasingly important for funders, as well as researchers. Institutions are keenly interested in collecting data on the results of research, discoveries, outcomes, and reporting on them. Showing the value of funded research allows funders to evaluate impact and make decisions about potential future phases. The session will touch on the developments on measuring and reporting research impact in the US, as well as the UK. Samples of evidence collection, measurement techniques and reporting will be shared with the attendees.

Trailblazing Teambuilding: Techniques for Creating a Purpose-Driven Leadership Team
The process of building a great team, with high team morale and strong engagement, begins with building a great leadership team. Developing an incredible leadership team doesn’t have to break the budget but it does require a strong vision, excellent communication, a good deal of time and consistent effort. Our workshop will focus on connection, purpose, motivation, understanding, and accountability amongst your teams. The purpose of this workshop is to provide participants tools to develop a strong leadership team on any budget. A leadership team is most effective when there is a united front amongst its leaders and a unified, trusting, and high-performing leadership team WILL impact the individual contributors at the organization in a positive way. Leaders will behave in a way that employees will be able to model leading to an ROI for the organization that is high. With a GREAT leadership team, the organization experiences better productivity and the strategic vision for an organization's research administration enterprise becomes the reality.

Turning Your Research Administration Strategic Initiatives into a Reality
Strategic planning is essential for a leader in research administration. Without a plan of where you want to take your unit and a roadmap to get there, you will lead your team aimlessly without direction and purpose. However, even the best thought-out plans require institutional backing and financial resources. This session will focus on how to identify and prioritize your strategic initiatives and then how to align your initiatives with the long-term vision of your institution and those who lead it. The importance of articulating the value of your strategic initiatives, gathering data, and defining metrics of success will be discussed along with the pitfalls of not pitching your initiatives correctly to those from whom you need support and resources.

Two Heads are Better than One: Creating Partnerships Between University Libraries and Offices of Research
Over the past two years, the Syracuse University Office of Research and the University Libraries have built a multi-faceted partnership to provide support for the research enterprise at the University. Collaborations have formed around activities such as funding discovery, research profile development and management, grant compliance, shared resource costs and skills training for products like Pure (a popular research information management system), and bibliometric analysis for enhancing institutional research reputation. Benefits of this growing partnership have included positive outcomes for faculty and students (as indicated by pre and post surveys), enhanced institutional visibility (through multiple research platforms), and a strong line of communication and shared goals between units towards cohesive support of the research enterprise.

Understanding the F&A Calculation - "Watering Down the Rate"
The facilities and administrative rate calculation is difficult to do and frankly, to the non-accountant, even harder to understand. This session will use a pitcher of water and some glasses to give the participant a simplified version of the calculation, the components and the impact that administrators have on the data that goes into the calculation. We hope to dispell the theory that our institutions are making a profit from research and that the cost of research is often much higher than the "overhead" funds we are receiving.

Using Data and Metrics to Aid in Decision Making and Improve Research Administration
Over the past years, research organizations have implemented electronic systems to replace paper-based processes and improve financial management both retrospectively and prospectively. While this transition has mainly been recognized for improving organizational efficiency and management, another major benefit is the vast quantity of data now available to better manage the research enterprise and proactively identify risk areas. This session will focus on how one organization is currently using their data to monitor performance, assess financial management, and identify compliance risk areas. We will also discuss a vision for using this data in the future. In addition, we will present other methods for collecting data, such as performance surveys, that are used to drive organizational improvement.

Using Philanthropy to Support Research
This session will identify and describe the benefits and important differences in securing and using philanthropic gifts to support research. Hear from an experienced fundraiser, and research administrator, how to secure millions in gifts to support important research. We will review simple steps to foster an environment of gift-supported research at your institution; large or small. Learn how to cultivate new and existing donors and how to partner philanthropic funding opportunities with research priorities. We will discuss engaging your faculty, physicians and other staff in philanthropy. Guidelines for distinguishing between gifts and grants will also be shared. Unless your research program is blessed with a fully-funded endowment producing perpetual income sufficient to sustain and grow your research or you’re 100% confident you will be fully funded by the government, then you need to attend this session. This practical session will provide tips to use right away and in the long-term.

Compliance with sponsor award terms and conditions is the primary objective of all sponsored research offices. But what happens when everything goes wrong? In this session, we will review four case studies in which non-compliant behavior occurred in a sponsored research project. We will examine the specific issues, their origins and impact, and the outcomes of each situation. Based on the four scenarios, attendees will create three preventative measures to ensure compliance at their own institution.

What You Must Know for Your Multi-Country, Multi-Sites Research Award: From Due Diligence to Close-Out!
This half-day workshop aims to take it audience through how to manage a multi-country, multi-site award, from planning to execution and eventually the close –out.

What’s in an Audit - How to Navigate Various Types of Audits
The financial research administration regulatory environment is under constant review. Many research administrators are tasked with addressing internal audits, annual Single Audits, sponsor audits or “reviews”, state audits and Office of Inspector General (OIG) audits. This workshop will address how best to position your institution to manage and survive an audit. Topics will include how to prepare for an audit, how to work with auditors and differences in processes and expectations related to audits conducted by various internal and external audit groups. The workshop will also include lessons learned from auditees with direct experience with National Science Foundation (NSF) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) audits conducted at large R1 institutions.

Your Institution Needs You: The Role of the Research Office in Strategic Research Planning
Research Offices can bring significant insight and benefit to institutional research planning. As well as providing performance data, they have understanding of internal capabilities (and constraints) and of external agendas and opportunities, to lead to a more nuanced, better focused, and more achievable strategy. Using an international case study approach, this session will explore both the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of strategic research planning. We will include the relationships between research planning and the other areas of institutional planning that need to be considered. Lessons learned and best practices will be identified through an interactive discussion with session participants.

Management and Communications in a Time of Crisis
The session will offer three different views of managing and undertaking research administration in a time of crisis, namely the recent lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While the speakers cannot cover the whole gamut of research administration diversity we hope to try - we work in three different countries (US, Canada, and UK) and are from central and departmental positions. We will reflect on what we did to survive working from home, and what we might do differently should a similar situation occur again. Were our disaster plans up to date? Did all the technology work flawlessly? How did homeschooling children affect our work and psyche? Would we have stayed sane without our pets? Expect anything from the sublime to the ridiculous!

Research Law
The "theory of everything" (TOE) is a hypothetical theory studied in physics; its intent is to fully explain and link together all known physical phenomena. The Introduction to Research Law workshop is similar to TOE in that it attempts to explain and link together all known issues of research administration. Legal issues arise throughout research, starting with intellectual property issues, continuing through contract and grant matters and living on in post research licensing, "derivative works disputes" and post-clinical trial liability questions. This workshop is for new research administrators who need a "boot camp" approach to recognizing the legal issues that they will face daily.

Managing Compensation Compliance Under OMB Flexibilities for COVID-19
Maintaining compensation compliance can be confusing enough under normal circumstances. And, while the OMB flexibilities that were offered during the COVID-19 public health emergency were very much needed to mitigate immediate compliance and financial concerns regarding salaries charged to federal awards, what is the impact now and are there any outstanding compliance risks? This session will focus on the different approaches taken by institutions to manage the process and the increased risk.

Negotiation Tactics as a Skill
Successful contract negotiation is not just about identifying problematic clauses and providing alternate language. It is about understanding the nuances of the language and how to effectively navigate the negotiation process, resulting in an executed agreement. Research administration negotiators often have the difficult task to manage the communications between the sponsor, legal counsel, senior management and the Principal Investigator. This workshop will focus on the negotiation phase and specifically working through understanding the other party, managing communications, best negotiation practices and techniques, and will incorporate experiential learning through mock scenarios.

Does Racial Disparity in Research Administration Exist?
Racial disparity is something that we would expect to be minimal in a profession of highly educated professionals working in Research Administration. Can we assume this to be true, or are our perceptions of disparity clouded by what we hope to be true? In order to find the answers to questions about disparity, we will examine demographic results from the Research Administrator Stress Perception Surveys (RASPerS). The RASPerS has collected demographic data from over 3,300 Research Administrators in 2007, 2010, 2015, and 2020. In this session, we will compare the perceptions of RAs from different racial groups to see if there are significant differences between the groups in representativeness, salary, job position, workplace civility, feelings of social support from peers and supervisors, and home/family conflict. We will conclude by offering potential steps you may consider in order to reduce racial disparity within your own team and organization.

Sponsored by Attain: Hot Topics Challenging Research Administrators
Sponsored by Attain, an Annual Meeting Exhibitor.
There is never a dull moment in research administration, costing and compliance but never has that been more true than the past six months which have served as a crash course in crisis management. With the fallout from the COVID pandemic, assistance with foreign influence and the issues surrounding the requirements of reporting outside interests, as well as the need to maximize IDC rate negotiations have never been more important. Unfunded mandates such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certifications (CMMC) requirements would have been a concern in the best of times but given the financial exigency faced by almost all institutions as a result of the ongoing COVID pandemic, research institutions may need to make tough choices on accepting funding with costly compliance requirements. Research offices will not be spared from the harsh reality of the debilitating financial impact that has resulted from the ongoing challenges associated with ensuring safe environments for our students, staff and faculty. We will also explore some of the most impactful changes that will come out of the recently issued revisions to the Uniform Guidance may mean for research administration and compliance.

A force majeure clause is “a contractual provision allocating the risk of loss if performance becomes impossible or impracticable, especially as a result of an event or effect that the parties could not have anticipated or controlled.” Simply put, a force majeure clause excuses a party’s performance under certain unforeseen circumstances. However, there is no “one size fits all” force majeure clause and the precise language of the clause can significantly impact its application. Therefore it is incumbent during the contract drafting process to identify which circumstances will and will not excuse performance and tailor the language to fit the parties’ intent. The conditions created by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and resulting government shutdown orders have raised questions across various industries regarding contractual rights and obligations during the crisis. One contract provision in particular is garnering signification attention: the force majeure clause. Recently, these clauses have evolved from boilerplate provisions at the end of a contract to now being front and center in many contract negotiations. In this session we will review considerations for drafting force majeure clauses specifically for research projects within the current environment.
