Monday, Oct 26, 2020	Monday, Oct 26, 2020 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM EDT	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. What is Research Integrity Culture and Why Does the Future of Research Depend on It?

Monday, Oct 19, 2020	Monday, Oct 19, 2020 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM EDT	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.

Monday, Oct 19, 2020	Monday, Oct 19, 2020 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM EDT	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!

Monday, Oct 19, 2020	Monday, Oct 19, 2020 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM EDT	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.

Monday, Oct 19, 2020	Monday, Oct 19, 2020 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM EDT	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.

Tuesday, Oct 20, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 20, 2020 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM EDT	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.

Tuesday, Oct 20, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 20, 2020 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM EDT	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.

Tuesday, Oct 20, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 20, 2020 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM EDT	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.

Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM EDT	Storytelling With Data: Data Visualization in Research Administration	Sharing information effectively is a critical skill in the research administration field. We all need to be pushed to think more critically and creatively about communication and presentation as it is necessary to be able to share ideas clearly. Yet communication and presentation skills and resources are not necessarily top-of-mind when we think about our work. This discussion session will provide a forum for interested and like-minded communicators and data enthusiasts at all levels to share a variety of innovative ways to communicate and disseminate data and information to different stakeholders, curated from leaders in the field.

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 Sponsored by Cayuse: How Kansas State Successfully Modernized Across the Entire Research Lifecycle Session Code: I801 Main Event Day Two Concurrent Session SPEAKER(S): Mollie Robbins Kelly Morgan	2020102013:3014:30 001	TUE, OCT 20	46948F77-F6E3-EA11-80BF-90E2BA4C0951 089413EA-8FFE-EA11-80BF-90E2BA4C0951 DC9C9955-AEDF-E911-80D7-001B21A3B7C5 DF9C9955-AEDF-E911-80D7-001B21A3B7C5 E89C9955-AEDF-E911-80D7-001B21A3B7C5 EF9C9955-AEDF-E911-80D7-001B21A3B7C5 F39C9955-AEDF-E911-80D7-001B21A3B7C5

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM EDT	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.

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.

Monday, Oct 19, 2020	Monday, Oct 19, 2020 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM EDT	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.

Friday, Oct 30, 2020	Friday, Oct 30, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM EDT	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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020 3:00 PM - 4:15 PM EDT	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.

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.

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. I’m a Twin? Wait? I’m Really A Triplet? We Were in Research?!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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) Publication of Research vs. Protection of Sensitive Data & Agreements Session Code: C502 Compliance and Law Concurrent Session SPEAKER(S): J.

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?

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.

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”.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020	Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM EDT	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.

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. Does Racial Disparity in Research Administration Exist?

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.

Thursday, Oct 15, 2020	Thursday, Oct 15, 2020 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM EDT	Force Majeure Clauses in Research Agreements	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.
