Group Therapy for Research Administrators
Working in Research Administration can take a toll on our well-being. The stresses of dealing with difficult personalities, endless deadlines, and constant changes to federal and internal guidelines and policies are sometimes daunting. While we are not licensed mental health practitioners, your co-presenters are Research Administrators who understand the pressure points and the need for self-care. Join us for a fun session where you can vent your frustrations to a sympathetic ear, learn from challenges that others are having, and discuss coping strategies. There may even be a primal scream or two.

Due Diligence on Third-Party Suitability in the Face of a Changing Regulatory Landscape
This session will focus on how we developed a framework and assessment methodology on behalf of the University of Bristol, to consider its engagement with external third parties. Most UK universities will have existing processes for due diligence assessment of third-party suitability, most of which would require escalation for a decision. The purpose of this Executive Board-approved project that we led was to develop a proposal to them of an aligned process for informed decision-making and recording of decisions reached by key stakeholders. The project aimed to address consistency of the decision-making process, the lack of transparency it generated, and the lack of clarity around who key decision makers are. By implementing this process, we were able to identify tangible and intangible benefits across the institution including, but not limited to, reduced risk of penalties for non-compliance, auditable evidence of transparent and consistent decision-making demonstrating legal/funder compliance, reduced risk of delays and damaged relationships, and clear guidance and process reducing confusion and ambiguity. The purpose of this session will be to provide a forum for sharing the benefits we identified during this process, and most importantly, the lessons we have learned throughout.

Best Practices for Award Closeout
All good things must come to an end. And while the science is never finished, the award cycle is always turning. A compliant closeout is fundamental to staying in sponsor and auditor good graces so that they continue to send the money. Join me to learn how the countdown clock starts when the notice of award arrives and continues throughout the course of the project. We will review the regulations that drive closeout and master the varying sponsor requirements. Checklists, why yes! Customize your own and don't miss a beat.

Falling In and Building Up: Career Paths and Opportunities for Research Administrators
It’s a common joke among research administrators – we fall into this profession and turn it into a career because of our passion for research. But what opportunities exist for research administrators, new and seasoned alike? This session will explore different career paths in research administration across organizations and career stages. We will also share practical tips for building networks and growing relationships with colleagues that benefit continuous learning and professional development.

Future Roles in Research Administration – What Will They Be?
Research Management and Administration (RMA) has been an evolving profession over several decades. Initially the profession was seen as “a post box” for faculty wishing to submit grant proposals and a financial management or compliance office once faculty had been awarded grant funding. RMA position titles of the time reflected these roles with titles such as Pre-Award Officer and Compliance Officer being common. Over the years, and as the scope of RMA has broadened, position titles have changed to reflect both the increasing specialization and the increasing breadth of roles, for example Research Development Specialist, Navigator. This latter term (Navigator) coming from the health sector where the Navigator position helps clients/patients navigate an increasing complex health system – and is now applied in RMA. This talk by speakers having several decades of shared experience across multiple countries, will look at likely roles for RMAs in the next decade. These roles are likely to be shaped by the changing nature of research itself, moves to increasingly complex legislation around research, and changes to service expectations by faculty, government, and the external community. Such knowledge will assist current RMAs in their professional development, preparing for the future environment and will also assist leaders in recruiting new staff into new roles with skills that will equip their offices to provide high quality service in a changing environment.

Grants Management in a Department/Division
This session will discuss issues and tricks related to managing grants from within a department; not a central office. Whether your institution has a central office or not, there are certain things that are just different when you are working on submitting and managing grants from within a department. The session will cover finding funding sources, pre-award submissions and post-award management of grants. The session will also identify additional ways to provide ongoing support for investigators; including trainees, fellows, associates, staff and faculty researchers.

Institutional Readiness for the NIH DMS Policy: What Did and Did Not Work
Effective January 25, 2023, the NIH implemented their new Data Management and Sharing (DMS) policy that requires investigators to include a data management plan (DMP) with all grant applications for research that generates scientific data. It is expected that this policy will help strengthen biomedical research by enabling scientific data reproducibility and access to high-quality datasets. The new policy emphasizes the importance of data sharing and thus requires investigators to deposit their scientific data in publicly accessible data repositories at or before publication or at the completion of a research project, whichever comes first. In this regard, institutions have been tasked with preparing their faculty for the new requirements to ensure compliance. We will review our approach to a campus-wide communications campaign, resources established to ensure that investigators and administrators were prepared for this new NIH requirement, and the lessons learned along the way, including the development of an institutional data repository available at no charge to investigators. Since it is anticipated that additional guidance from NIH will be released about data management and sharing in 2023 and 2024, this session will outline steps institutions can take to strengthen investigator understanding of DMS requirements and ensure compliance in the future.

NIH Data Management and Sharing Plans: How’s it Going So Far?
The 2023 revisions to the National Institutes of Health's data management policy required a shift in requirements and compliance. This session will re-visit the new policy and include an interactive session that addresses questions such as: What has changed since the policy launched? What issues are campuses and research institutes encountering? What is the biggest challenge in compliance? What best practices are emerging after almost a year of the new requirements? We want this to be an interactive session - come share your challenges and experiences with your colleagues!

10 Leadership Lessons from Hamilton!
Congratulations, new leader! You’re embarking on an incredibly rewarding (but also fundamentally challenging) journey where you can impact the institution on multiple levels. In this session, we’ll help you make that path a little easier by calling upon the hit musical Hamilton! As a new leader finding his way, Alexander struggled with the same challenges we all do – how do you empathetically motivate others while ensuring that work gets done and things stay on track? What do you do if you make a mistake or feel like you’ve hit a wall? How do you prioritize and make decisions when there are multiple stakeholders? We’ll cover all that and more, and by the time this session is over – you’ll have a foundation to start from and songs to reinforce them.

Conflict Management Skills for Research Compliance and Research Integrity Professionals
Building and maintaining a culture of ethical behavior in the conduct of research is more than the right thing to do – it is the foundation of a responsible conduct of research, of good science and of being a good community partner. Cutting ethical corners for expedience or in pursuit of research dollars or accolades is risky. Think of your institution’s name under a headline of a multi-million dollar False Claims Act settlement, or in twelve-foot high letters on a screen before a jury, or in a paper retraction. Chances are that this is not a situation you and your institution want to encounter. But the research enterprise if fraught with competing interests, giving rise to conflicting motivators. How can we respond to these divergent interests in a way that enhances rigor and integrity of our science while mitigating risk? One pathway to this balancing point is through the application of conflict management techniques in building an ethical culture of compliance. Whether by giving stake-holders (and rights-holders) a voice in the process, engaging cold cognition rather than responding to emotionally driven decision making, competing interests can be clearly framed and measured against institutional core values, legal and regulatory requirements, with the result that ethical conduct becomes ingrained as an institutional priority and, ultimately, a reality.

Effort Reporting & Internal Controls - Beyond Certification
Research administration is a constantly evolving and growing industry. Many institutions are expanding their research portfolios as we strive to enhance health globally. In the hustle and bustle of a growing industry, it’s easy to have something fall through the cracks. An overlooked component of 200.430(i) is the stipulation of an internal control environment. This extends beyond certification of effort and/or payroll confirmation. Does your organization have controls in place to monitor effort certification, salary caps, and overcommitted faculty? In this session, we’ll discuss preventative and detective post-award internal controls. The presenters will explore implementing internal controls in a post-award management setting. Additionally, we’ll share best practices for conducting compliance reviews in effort reporting, monitoring salary caps, and managing overcommitted faculty.

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.

Project Management vs Project Administration – There is a Difference?
As more sponsors are requiring project and program management methodologies and/or personnel for the management of awards and educational institutions are now recognizing the benefits of project management with limited information/literature available to identify and inform on the benefits and placement within existing organizational structures and roles/responsibilities. This discussion is an opportunity for peers from various roles to share and understand how different institutions view and differentiate between project management and project administration responsibilities as this is one of the most common questions around this topic. The objectives are to facilitate discussion across various sponsored project roles on key differences and similarities between project management and project administration with emphasis on how this is distinguished and managed through responsibilities on various awards at different institutions.

Export Controls for the Broad Research Compliance Leader
Adhering to the U.S. export controls regulations is an essential component of a strong research compliance program. Supporting internal compliance measures around export controls is particularly challenging when you have broad responsibility for multiple areas of research compliance. In this session, we'll explain why the U.S. export control regulations exist and walk through the three core sets of federal regulations: Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR), Department of State International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and the Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations. We'll cover the primary aspects of the regulations that intersect with research administration efforts on a weekly basis, such as the fundamental research exclusion (FRE), public information, export control classifications, government licensing requirements, license exceptions, denied parties, and sanctioned and embargoed countries. We’ll also make connections between federal export controls regulations and the latest academic research security guidance and initiatives stemming from National Security Presidential Memorandum 33 (NSPM-33) and the U.S. Department of Defense. The presentation will show linkages between the multiple areas of research compliance to aid you in implementing practical and effective export controls compliance measures at your institution.

All Roads Lead to ROMA: Lessons Learned from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ Research Operating Model Assessment, Investment in Research, and Research Enterprise Strategic Plan
Like many institutions post-pandemic, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) felt the pain of trying to manage an expanded research portfolio while managing staff turnover. Simultaneously, as a safety net hospital, CHLA wanted to ensure it was maximizing its investment in research. To address both needs, CHLA underwent an external assessment of its research operating model to inform improvements to its people and systems infrastructure and to validate how it calculated its investment in research. This session will provide a high-level discussion of the background and purpose of CHLA’s review and major findings. The majority of this session will discuss lessons learned along the way, including ways to obtain faculty perspective and willingness to engage in self-governance, strategies for aligning and justifying needs with strategic plans and other institutional missions, and effectively telling the story of research at your institution to garner leadership buy-in.

Collaborating Across Borders: Research Administration & Compliance in US vs. Denmark
Collaborating across borders is becoming more and more common, but at the same time more and more complex. From a high-level leadership perspective, we will i) identify barriers toward collaborations between US and Denmark; and ii) offer recommendations toward overcoming them. We will accomplish this by using a framework that compares the following elements between US and Denmark: i) Research leadership structure; ii) external relations; iii) sponsored research services; iv) research ethics and compliance; and v) technology transfer.

In the Post COVID World, How Do You Survive: With Departmental Administrators; Without Departmental Administrators?
In the post-COVID world having a departmental administrator (DA) is a bonus. DAs reduce administrative burden allowing researchers to focus on projects. Often the Sponsored Projects Office may act as the departmental administrator to get the application submitted and closed out timely. This session will explore post-COVID the pros and cons of having departmental administrators working with a central research administration office. It will explore options to facilitate pre and post-award functions in the department and whether there are useful tools to determine how offices should be structured.

Research Compliance - A Journey of a Thousand Steps
In the Gambia, like African countries, research ethics and integrity are concepts that are not well known due to the low level of research activities in most academic and state-owned research institutions. The country adopted a skills-based and knowledge economy that prioritized research and so it was necessary to develop national policies that support the implementation of research agenda for universities and research institutions. Since 1947, Medical Research Council Unit, The Gambia at LSHTM was the only research institution in the country conducting biomedical research and the country has one independent research ethics committee that was established in 1980 which is still the only recognized ethics committee.
The national research policy for the country was established through a consultative process involving various sectors and policy actors. The main objective of the policy is to set the tone for how research should be conducted in the country outlining all the regulatory processes that need to be met before the conduct of research in the country. The policy identified the need to establish a national ethics regulatory framework under which institutions will be authorized to form institutional review boards. Findings from the consultative process highlighted the need to strengthen ethical review capacity in the country by providing formal training on research ethics and the role of ethics committees, training of a set of ethics administrators and establishing a national ethics secretariat to drive ethical review processes, design a central system for submission syncing all regulatory reviews under one umbrella. Funding from the EDCTP is supporting these activities under the leadership of MRCG with other international partners including EthiXpert and Pharmalys.

The Speed of Trust in Research Administration
Superman may be faster than a speeding bullet, but according to Steven M.R. Covey, “nothing is as fast as the speed of trust.” In our fast-paced, deadline-driven, and compliance-focused profession, we are constantly presented with opportunities to build or diminish trust. This workshop pulls from Covey’s best seller The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything to examine how the economics of trust impact research administration. The goal of this workshop is to demonstrate how you can develop and leverage trust to positively impact research administration within your organization. First, we will take a deeper look at how the lack of trust impacts our profession; then, we will explore how to make trust actionable through self-trust and relationship trust. By learning and employing the Four Cores of Credibility and the 13 Behaviors of High-Trust Leaders, you will be armed with useful tools to lead and work with trust. Despite our best intentions and efforts, there will be times that trust is lost, whether we lose trust in others or others lose trust in us. So, we will conclude with actionable steps to restore lost trust.

Collaboration for Impact in Humanities and Social Science Research
Across the world governments encourage universities to apply their research for social and economic benefits. What are the opportunities for humanities and the social sciences to commercialize, collaborate and influence policy and the public? This talk will use international case studies to develop a ‘roadmap for impact’. We will explore pathways via partners in the business, public and NGO sectors, and the fact that academics often use multiple pathways and funders to achieve their impact goals. We will touch on what funders offer and require, comparing the UK's Arts & Humanities Research Council with the US National Endowment for the Humanities. Attendees will be invited to propose new pathways and partners, sketching alternative histories and futures for our real-life case studies.

We’re Better Together: IACUC 101 for Research Administrators
Abbott and Costello. Bonny and Clyde. Batman and Robin. What do these duos all have in common? They are each an example of a successful partnership. Members of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and sponsored programs offices can be too! Effective partnerships start with developing a common understanding of the framework that each must operate within, providing a strong base from which to collaborate. This session will help participants build a foundation in the basic laws and regulations that govern the use of animals in research, as well as common IACUC review processes. Participants will also explore how these regulations and processes can intersect with the grant life cycle through didactic discussions and examine strategies to facilitate communication to ensure compliance is achieved and research is not hindered.

Working Smarter, Not Harder: Time-saving Tips and Tricks in Excel
As a research administrator, you likely use Excel on a regular basis. Along the way, you have probably encountered pesky calculations that take longer than expected to perform, large amounts of unruly data that need to be prepared prior to analysis, or data from multiple sources that need to be joined together to form a complete dataset for reporting.
The good news is that you can make your spreadsheets work harder for you, with the use of some time-saving tips and tricks. In this session, we will review intermediate-level tools and functions within Excel using real-life examples of spreadsheets that were made easier to use. Participants should bring their laptops to follow along.

We Are Doing This Why?: Principles/Regulations behind Research Ethics and Compliance
What’s that expression: We are so busy doing that forgot why we are doing. Not infrequently, the everyday demands of research compliance make us forget the why’s behind our practices. The immediate gets in the way of the important, of the why. This session looks at those whys: the history, the ethics, the principles, and the regulations that are the why of our policies and practices. Specific focus will be directed towards human subjects research, research with animals, conflict of interest and research misconduct.

‘Small Is Beautiful’ or ‘Bigger Is Better’? Understanding the Nature and Role of Small Grant Funding in Knowledge Production
Over the past two decades, the research funding landscape in the UK (from where we write) and internationally has changed in many ways - particularly in the social sciences and humanities, where imperatives such as ‘collaboration’, ‘transdisciplinarity’ and ‘impact’ increasingly dominate. In this paper we draw upon survey data and interview findings (from across the world) to illustrate the ways in which these changes are impacting research(er) practices.
We reflect particularly on researchers’ views on the interests and logics driving recent changes to the research funding landscape; the nature and shape of current (and emerging) funding structures; and the modes of intellectual enquiry that are encouraged and discouraged through these arrangements. We also draw attention to researchers’ views on the EDI implications of a research funding landscape emphasising collaborative, open and team-science approaches; and the dominance of research funding conditions in shaping what many consider to be an increasingly competitive and individualistic academic culture. We conclude with a series of recommendations for those identifying, applying for and administering research funding opportunities.

Designing a Digital Employee Experience
Using a digital employee experience framework, the study examined how the pandemic impacted the research administration work environment. This dissertation presents perceptions and draws insights from research administration leaders, management, and staff on digital work and digital employee experiences through the pandemic. The dissertation was motivated by three research questions: (1) What challenges did research administrators encounter during the Pandemic? (2) What were the research administrators’ perceptions of digital transformation during their employee journey? and (3) What is the future of research administration as the industry moves forward post-pandemic? Previous literature indicated that the digital employee experience framework comprised eight essential components: technology, physical environment, culture, business strategy, leadership, career, brand, and personal. Since the 2020 pandemic began, various studies of digital work environments, digital employee experiences, and remote work have been conducted. To study the research administration's perceptions of digital work environments and digital employee experiences from a holistic perspective, a sequential mixed methods approach utilizing quantitative and qualitative research methods was selected. The key findings from the research revealed that maintaining team culture in a digital environment is challenging and that leaders must be creative and innovative to maintain the culture of their teams. The Pandemic transformed the landscape of research administration from the team and organizational levels by changing from fully in-person-office models to remote and hybrid models. This transformation created challenges and obstacles for management and staff, prompting them to rethink how to perform research administration business in different environments. The study indicated that leadership should invest in Digital Employee Experience tools and practices as we enter this new research administration world. These tools and practices can provide positive employee experiences in a digital environment.

Effective Project Support for International Collaboration
There is growing recognition of the importance of international research partnerships in addressing contemporary challenges in research, management and society. International partnerships enable researchers to share knowledge and combine expertise to address complex problems that are increasingly interdisciplinary in nature. This session will reflect on how project support activities contribute to the overall success and impact of interdisciplinary international research partnerships. It draws on a small mixed methods sample of survey responses (N=14) and interviews (N=9) of project managers implementing activities that formed part of the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Growing Research Capability call launched in 2016 by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Three key results emerged from the data which we will present to participants: 1) Organisational capacity was a key determinant of success in creating international partnerships; 2) Building and maintaining partnerships was influenced heavily by UK institutions acting as lead partner and managing finances, alongside creating and designing bid development timelines; and 3) Finally, decisions on the design of project support teams/roles and the resources allocated to this are significant in the development of effective large programmatic consortia. To conclude, we will offer key recommendations for the development and implementation of large-scale international and interdisciplinary research collaborations disaggregated by project phase and roles.

Leading Your Multigenerational Research Administrator Workforce
The strength of research administration comes from its multigenerational workforce, and these five generations of research administrators bring diversity in thinking, problem-solving, technical skills, and creativity to the workplace and are the talent pipelines within our organizations. Engaging each of these generations effectively and productively, independently and collectively, can be a challenge for leaders which can then be exacerbated by hybrid and remote work. As busy leaders, we often fail to think strategically about how to communicate with, professionally develop, and lead our workforce. This interactive workshop will focus on understanding the mindset of each of the five generations about their work, communicating effectively with each generation, and bridging the divide between these generations. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and develop best practices and strategies for engaging their multigenerational team, so that all team members find reward and satisfaction in their work, regardless of generation. Additionally, participants will assess how their leadership and managerial styles impact (positively or negatively) a multigenerational workforce.

Standard Federal Biosketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support Documents: Where NSPM-33, ORCID, and SciENcv Meet
NSPM-33, a National Security Presidential Memorandum focused on US Government-supported R&D, directed federal agencies to establish consistent and coordinated policies and procedures to strengthen protections against foreign government interference. It instructs agencies to implement standardized procedures that leverage digital persistent identifiers (DPIs) to minimize administrative burden. The National Science and Technology Council's (NSTC) Research Security Subcommittee, through the NSF, has solicited public comment on common disclosure forms for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support sections of research applications and will publish formal requirements for agencies. ORCID IDs are persistent identifiers (DPIs) for individuals and support the data tracking requirements inherent in these requirements. ORCID profiles can collate much of the information needed to populate these common forms. SciENcv is a web based electronic system provided by the National Library of Medicine that can import information from ORCID profiles and format it as required by agencies for use in applications and reports while also collecting the required investigator certification.

The Foundation and Principles of Human Research Protections
It is the role of Human Research Protection Programs (HRPP) to protect the rights and welfare of human participants in research. Have a knowledge of the background behind the research ethics regulations as well as the principles and requirements that must take place before research studies are executed are essential. In this session, we will take a journey to explore history of ethics board (ie, IRB) and how they have developed into HRPPs to promote a culture of the highest ethical and legal standards for the conduct of human research as well as explore the function and operations of a Human Research Protection program – including the role and responsibility of the IRB, COI, etc.

The TFFA Conundrum: Understanding and Navigating NIFA’s Indirect Rules
This session will discuss USDA NIFA's 30% of total federal fund awarded (TFFA) cap on indirect for all agriculture research, education, and extension proposal submission. The first portion of the session will explain basic concepts of direct costs, indirect costs, and total project costs, including the math behind them and how they work together. This foundation is needed to fully understand NIFA's indirect cap. The next portion will explain the math behind calculating TFFA, and will discuss NIFA's rules in depth -- including the fact that both lead and subawardee indirect must meet the 30% TFFA cap when summed together. The final portion will explain best practices in fairly updating the indirect on budgets so both the lead and sub's meet NIFA's rules. An Excel "TFFA calculator" developed by the presenter to aid in making NIFA indirect decisions will be demonstrated and made available for use by attendees.

The Wind In Our Sails: Research Management and Administration Around the World
Research Management and Administration, a growing profession with its roots in the 1950’s is on the move, with the wind in its sails. As SRAI increases its international research and influence, it is important to equip research managers and administrators to navigate the increasingly diverse and complex ecosystem. Common themes and challenges for research administration, such as ethics, research security and research impact, have emerged across many countries, with various jurisdictional responses. Further, as research collaborations have exploded at the international level, research managers and administrators need the requisite skills and understanding to work effectively with international colleagues. This international panel, composed of participants from countries, such as Australia, Canada and the U.S. will discuss these themes and how research administrators are addressing them in their jurisdictions. They will also make observations on tools and training that can promote shared understanding and competency for international collaborations.

Who Moved My Water Cooler? Networking for Research Administrators in a Remote/Hybrid Environment
Covid-19 has upended the idea of networking for research administrators. Gone are the days of in-person meetings, water cooler chats and lunches with your RA colleagues as remote/hybrid workforces have become the norm across our entire community. How do you “network” both at your institution and beyond in this new reality? Two senior RA’s will guide you through a host of formal, informal, and homegrown networking opportunities they have been involved in at their institution. SRAI & NCURA specific opportunities, local level ideas for low/no budget environments, plus pitfalls and obstacles (along with mitigation suggestions) will be discussed to give attendees a framework for how to integrate “new normal” networking at all levels of research administration.

The Evolution of Research Impact
This session will trace the origins, current status, and anticipated trajectories of national scale research impact initiatives in Canada, United Kingdom and United States. Presenters will compare and contrast: 1) US-based ARIS, a loose knit transformative learning network that aims professionalize and support those who work across institutions to build research impact capacity; 2) pan-Canadian RIC, a more formal network of signatory institutions that builds institutional capacity for knowledge mobilization and societal impacts of research; and 3) networks that have arisen in response to the UK’s impact agenda. This panel style discussion will cover the evolution of national policies that drive investment in these initiatives, the role of research administration and leadership in enabling impact, institutional and structural realities that both constrain and enable impact, and the roles and practices of professionals that work to directly create research impacts in society. Systemic change, in terms of how the culture of research is shifting toward centering impact, will be explored. The presenters will share best practices for building and maintaining very different, but cohesive national impact initiatives and how they anticipate these growing or changing over the coming decade. Additionally, they will share progress on international efforts to build connection and capacity for impact.

Conflict of Interest: Ask For Permission, Not Forgiveness
In response to increased scrutiny regarding conflicts of interest (COI), commitment (COC), reporting of foreign engagement, the University of Maryland implemented a new electronic COI process. The process covers compliance, disclosure, disposition, monitoring, and reporting. This session will discuss best practices UMD has implemented along the way, including: revising the COI Policy, rolling out the process, and dealing with COI-related audit findings. All of this is in service to creating a COI program that is a partnership between the individual, the department, and the COI office.

Complex Collaborations: Efficiency, Equity, Quality and Security in International Research Collaboration
The Association of Research Managers and Administrators UK has led a consortium to consider 'Efficiency, Equity, Quality and Security in International Research Collaboration'. The research conducted has enabled us to gain significant insights into the sector response to research security issues in the United Kingdom and to make a series of recommendations for how the sector can collaborate to improve its compliance and deliver a security conscious culture. Our research benefited significantly from the insights of international colleagues who are at different stages in their national responses. Our session will explore what we can learn learn from each other as international colleagues, tackling similar challenges in our own environments.

Navigating Foreign Influence: How Department Research Administrators can Ensure Compliance and Transparency in Federally Funded Research
The growing concerns about improper foreign influence on federally funded research at US universities have led to heightened scrutiny and a stricter enforcement of compliance measures. Two critical aspects of foreign influence that have been emphasized by federal funders are transparency and upholding the fundamental principles of scientific integrity. Much of the education at universities around foreign influence is aimed at investigators. Department Research Administrators (DRAs) are an untapped institutional resource on the front line of identifying and appropriately presenting foreign influence when submitting research proposals. This presentation, targeted at DRAs, will define foreign influence and the disclosure requirements of federal sponsors. It will offer guidance on how they can protect the PIs and the institution by recognizing a foreign component, when international travel needs to be disclosed, how to review Other/Current and Pending Support documents with an eye for disclosure, etc.

Managing and Discerning Emotional Intelligence in a Digital World
Emotional Intelligence (EI), the ability to control one’s own emotions and to perceive the feelings of others, is an invaluable skill to aid in the collaboration and management of successful research administration teams. Self-awareness and the ability to manage emotion also benefit managers faced with implementing continuous changes in institutional and sponsor guidelines and processes. In this session, we will define the components of EI and provide added focus on discerning emotion in the remote work environment through verbal and non-verbal cues. Developing proficiency in EI gives managers insight into leadership and team members’ moods, well-being, job satisfaction, strengths and limitations, etc. EI awareness allows employees to customize communications, adapt for inclusivity and respond appropriately to the emotions of others. This ability to lead, adapt, perceive and support is especially critical to the retention of skilled research administrators given the current workplace personnel shortage.

Extreme Makeover: Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 Edition – Proposed Revisions
On October 5, 2023, OMB published a proposal for a fundamental rewrite the Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200 (*). The White House announced that “the proposal will materially decrease the burden on recipients of Federal financial assistance, advance equity and job growth across the country, and meaningfully improve the administration of Federal financial assistance.” See links below. Specifically, OMB states that the reasons for the proposed revisions are: “(1) incorporating statutory requirements and administration priorities; (2) reducing agency and recipient burden; (3) clarifying sections that recipients or agencies have interpreted in different ways; and (4) rewriting applicable sections in plain language, improving flow, and addressing inconsistent use of terms.”
This session will dig deep into the following questions: • What are the major revisions in the proposal? • When will the revisions become effective? • How will the revisions impact the administration on your research grants? ttps://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-21078.pdf Dollars Delivering Results: Biden-Harris Administration Publishes Proposed Updates to the Uniform Grants Guidance to Improve Impact of Federal Grants and Other Financial Assistance | OMB | The White House (*) As of 09/28/23, per the public inspection document, the scheduled date for publication of the OMB proposal in the Federal Register is October 5, 2023, which means that the comments are due to OMB by December 5, 2023 (60 days after publication).

A Site Perspective on Industry Clinical Trial Budgeting
If I had a dime for every time an investigator walked into my office with an exciting opportunity! What tools do you need to predict the financial success or failure of an industry initiated clinical trial? This session will provide an introduction to industry initiated clinical trial budgeting. As we examine a typical clinical trial protocol we will detail several phases of budget development. We will assess protocol feasibility for sites, analyze required tools for budgeting and calculate a basic budget. That was the easy part! This session will also include discussion of successful budget negotiation and sponsor invoicing.

Basics of F&A – A University Perspective
Colleges and universities receiving direct federal awards are typically required to have a federally negotiated facilities and administrative (“F&A”) cost rate in order to receive reimbursement for indirect costs. For most people, however, the process of preparing, submitting, and negotiating the F&A rate proposal under the Uniform Guidance can appear overly technical and painfully detailed. This session is intended for anyone who is new to the F&A process or would simply like to better understand the basic requirements, inputs and objectives that make up this calculation. Discussion session will include a high-level perspective regarding how the regulations, financial and other data inputs, and submission and negotiation processes work together and will provide practical insight into the application of the F&A rate to the organization’s awards. Participants are encouraged to share their role in as well as their experience with the indirect rate process at their institution.

Navigating Legal and HR Pitfalls Related to Remote Work Situations: A Panel Discussion.
SRAI has brought together a panel of legal and HR experts to discuss the issues that YOU need to consider as our profession moves more positions to remote work. We'll also discuss the impact of the latest current developments in HR/employment law that impact remote work. If an employee is working in another State, are you following that State’s employment laws? Did you even know they’re different? Are taxes being withheld appropriately? What if they’re in another country? Does the institution need to register as a business someplace else? If their home office is hazardous, what’s the institution’s potential liability? What if some employees are in “Right to Work” areas and some aren’t? Join us to hear what they say about some of these issues and more. Bring your own questions for the panel. This session will be informative, helpful and maybe even a little scary.

Weaving Together the Threads: The Benefits of a Consolidated Pre-Award Research Administration Model
Proposal preparation services are typically distributed across university campuses and managed within units that are physically and organizationally separate from the central research administration office. The level and quality of support to Principal Investigators (PIs) can vary from unit to unit depending on resources available. Most units have only one person trained to assist with these tasks. Some units have limited or no resources. A single staff departure can create major disturbances in workflow and services. Processes often duplicate work performed in central offices. Training a single staff member to work effectively with the multitude of sponsors from which a department might be funded is challenging. The greatest difficulty is that the distributed structure is costly, duplicative and cannot provide the level of reliability or expertise needed by PIs. Taking a case-study approach, this session will explore the benefits of a consolidated model of pre-award research administration that encompasses proposal preparation services and sponsored programs management.

Breaking Barriers with ORCID: What do Research Administrators Need to Know?
This session will cover everything that research administrators need to know about ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier), especially as it relates to federal funding requirements. ORCID is designed to break barriers related to understanding researcher identity, assessing research activity, and streamlining research application and reporting workflows to save time and reduce administrative burden. We will explore why researchers need to have their own ORCID iD, how they can benefit from using their ORCID iD when working with funders, publishers, and research institutions, and how you and your organization can help to ensure that your researchers are in compliance with any federal or other mandates related to researchers having a digital persistent identifier for disclosures. Join us for this session to learn more!

Dealing with Data: Non-technical Thoughts Concerning Data Security and Management
"In a locked filing cabinet in a locked office." For decades this was the most common and a most acceptable response to the IRB's question: how will you be keeping your data and protecting confidentiality. But, those good old days are gone. Today we are in the midst of an explosion of methods for the storage, management, analysis and securing of digitized data. On the other hand, we are also in the midst of an explosion of methods to hack, steal, freeze, or otherwise breach that same data. This session, from a non-technical perspective, discusses the challenges and obstacles in the protection of data and subjects' confidentiality as well as offers approaches on how institutions have worked with researchers and IRBs to develop and implement best practices.

How to Manage Underfunded and Overfunded PI’s
This session will address best practices for managing two different kinds of Principal Investigators: PI's who are struggling to obtain adequate research funding, and those who are trying to juggle too much research funding. We will discuss common causes for both underfunded scenarios (e.g. junior researchers who are trying to get started, researchers who are not submitting enough proposals, researchers whose proposals are not scoring well, etc.) and overfunded scenarios (e.g. PI's over-estimating amount of effort required during proposal phase, researchers who need to expand their research team, those who are not completing research on time and therefore have overlapping projects, etc.), and what strategies could be employed to handle these situations. This course will cover areas related to pre- and post-award training and management, human resources involvement, and the creation of tools to help gather and present relevant data to PIs in order to address concerns.

Managing Research Operations in the Era of Open Science
In the last 20 years, tertiary education and research institutions in Africa have taken intentional steps towards adopting research management systems that will address its health needs, create health equity among its population and support economic growth. The promotion of the principles of open science around the globe to facilitate the equitable sharing of the benefits from research is impacting research processes in Africa and aiding its bid for equitable research partnerships.
The fundamental of open science is to facilitate the open sharing of information for the progress of science and the effective functioning of the research enterprise. These fundamentals are being applied through effective collaboration and partnerships. By increasing the number of collaborative research between south-south partners has resulted in creating the added value of generalisability of research results and enabled effective contribution towards global health. To operate research based on these fundamentals, research institutions in Ghana and The Gambia have had to consider their existing research systems and its capacity to comply with open science principles. The review focused on the operational support available to researchers during pre and post award, facilities available to support the implementation of research including science support, governance and legal structures. They looked at ways of strengthening the capacity gaps in legal and compliance, building on existing policies and procedures at institutional level to facilitate the open sharing of information and at the same time protecting new innovations for further exploitations. Early evidence showed that these reviews will result to a strengthened central research support function focused on adding value to the scientific output of the institution.

Motivating Reluctant, Inactive, or Inexperienced Investigators to Pursue Grants
In recent years competition for grants has greatly intensified for many reasons, causing investigators at all career levels to become reluctant, discouraged or inactive in seeking support for their research. New investigators face their own challenges in getting that first award. This session will offer describe characteristics that deter these investigators from pursuing grant funding. Then, based on a literature review and best practices, an array of strategies and solutions will be presented, including incentives, mentoring, partnering, targeted workshops, and individual strategic plans for research funding. Participants will be encouraged to share examples and case studies of their own best practices for motivating and working with these investigators. The session will be interactive and partipatory for research administrators/proposal developers from all types of institutions.

Introduction to 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

Research Security Program Development, Funding, and Implementation
Research security and compliance professionals understand what successful risk management requires from a strategic, tactical and operational perspective. Emerging government guidelines and regulations, such as the NSPM-33 and CHIPS Act concerning research security requirements, have pushed universities into implementing research security to enhance compliance programs to counter risks. Unfortunately, the new research security compliance policies and proactive risk management controls were not planned for and have resulted in program funding and knowledge gaps. This presentation will discuss the fundamental baseline controls and tools that every research security and compliance program will need to comply with current and emerging government guidelines, as well as adopt the best practices at peer organizations.

Transitioning from a Unit-Based to a Workload-Based Pre-Award Assignment Model
For emerging research universities, finding the right organizational structure for their evolving offices of Sponsored Research Services can be challenging. As our field faces many changes and ever increasing pressures of recruitment and retention, we will discuss how to make the workload among research administrators as equitable as possible and improve the work environment and efficiency of a sponsored research office via a workload-based assignment model. This session will review the strengths and weaknesses of both unit-based and workload-based models for pre-award functions, relay our transition experience, discuss the development and implementation of a workload algorithm to equalize assignments, and demonstrate how project management tools are being used to improve efficiency. Our team will also provide a retrospective analysis of the past two years with the workload model, including faculty feedback on new processes and the transitional period.

Understanding the Uniform Guidance on a Practical Level
The Research Administrators guide to compliance in managing sponsored awards is the Uniform Guidance. Each institution uses these federal regulations as its foundation for setting policy and developing processes to ensure compliance. Understanding the rules and where to find them is a key to the success of any of us in this profession. This workshop will use the Uniform Guidance as the “handout” for the session so that participants can work their way through the regulations to identify key clauses, important changes from the 2020 Federal Register, and understand how to use the document as a valuable tool. We will have slides but come join us to learn where those words on the slides come from.

A Collaborative Pre-Award Support Model to Promote New Faculty Success
Research is an integral part of VCU's mission. Seed funding programs provide the opportunity to conduct research critical for attracting and retaining a high calibre of faculty and to advance VCU as a community of nationally and internationally recognized scholars and researchers in the arts, humanities, and sciences. Small institutions often have to rely on available resources, such as the technology services department and online tools, to facilitate the application process. Large Institutions leverage their eRA systems to support their internal funding competitions. This session will describe steps to establish a seed funding program to support faculty's research, especially for junior faculty or those exploring new areas of inquiry using in-house technology solutions.

Contract Negotiation: Breaking Down Barriers with Fun and Games
Negotiating a contract can often send an administrator along a series of twists and turns. Sometimes we slide backward, but we work to keep climbing forward. This interactive workshop will use a game to take participants through example contracting scenarios where it seems you are at an impasse. New details can lead to new pathways forward with a goal of winning when an agreement between the parties is reached. Breakout groups will also facilitate discussion groups on contracting topics. Do you want to have some fun and learn best practices to win at contracting?

Project Management in Sponsored Projects
Trying to better understand what is project management, how it is different from established sponsored project university roles and responsibilities, and why there is a growing trend in sponsor’s requiring it or universities applying it to your sponsored projects? As more sponsors are requiring project and program management methodologies and/or personnel for the management of awards and educational institutions are now recognizing the benefits of project management with limited information/literature available to identify and inform on the benefits and placement within existing organizational structures and roles/responsibilities. Project Management defined in this session will be focused in the context of higher education sponsored projects presenting its application, benefits, and responsibilities of project management principles and personnel. Project Management is a valuable approach to develop and execute sponsored projects complementing the roles and responsibilities of faculty and administrators. Project Management enhances the organization’s reputation, reduces added burden to faculty and administrator roles, and contributes to an increase in effective and efficient development and execution of sponsored project awards to meet faculty, unit, and organizational research and sponsored project portfolio objectives. This session will focus on defining project management, differentiating between the project manager and other sponsored project roles/responsibilities, and explain the benefits of project management involvement in sponsored projects.

Proposal Preparation: The Impact of Departmental Structures and Processes
Effective research administration starts before the investigator drafts their proposal. In this session, we will review what structures and processes cultivate a successful proposal at the departmental level. We will begin with an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of two common departmental structures: all-encompassing pre- and post-award (“cradle to grave”) services, and “split” units with separate teams focused solely on pre-award or post-award. A review of best practices in proposal preparation, including how these practices can be applied to either structure, will be analyzed, with recommendations on how to optimize your unit’s individual functionality, to ensure it can help maximize facilitation to investigators.

CANCELLED: Research Administrators Working Remotely – Challenges, Opportunities, Productivity, and Professional Development in the Remote Work Environment
The COVID-19 pandemic changed ideas and practices of remote work in research administration, as in most industries. Initial studies are demonstrating that remote work is effective, productive, and offers many benefits to organizations and their employees, it also presents real and new challenges. In this session we will discuss these opportunities and challenges, present recent data on productivity and effectiveness, examine how individual experiences vary and accommodations are made, and how remote work has changed our day-to-day operations. We will cover the development of new or enhanced skill sets and how opportunities for professional development were expanded, and in some cases, closed off. Discussion will also include a look to the future examining the hybrid model and the development and implementation of best practices for organizations and individuals.

The 21st Century Challenge: Intercultural Communication in Research Administration and Development
The 21st century research community has become global, with increased international collaboration and changing demographics of the U.S. population. As fewer US students pursue graduate degrees in science and technology, research administrators increasingly are working with faculty and graduate students from around the world. At the same time, international collaborations are becoming more common, especially for large, collaborative projects. Consequently, awareness of cultural differences is crucial for research administrators to function effectively. Diverse cultural characteristics and communication patterns need to be considered in hiring and managing staff, forming research teams, developing proposals, and managing funded projects. Drawing from research, literature, and case studies, this workshop will help participants to understand the changing demographics of the U.S. research community, learn characteristics, cultural traits and communication patterns of diverse populations, recognize barriers to effective intercultural communication in research development and administration, and apply current strategies and best practices to developing effective research and administrative teams. Participants will explore case study scenarios, learn and use tools that assess knowledge of other cultures, share their own experiences, and learn strategies, solutions and best practices for enhancing intercultural communication.

The Perfect Synergy: Multiple Administrative Offices Working Together to Improve Principal Investigator Satisfaction
The biggest outcry from Principal Investigators (PIs) is the administrative burden experienced when managing their research time. This can often be caused by the rules of their Institution and those of the Sponsor, especially when those rules collide. While there are unavoidable administrative tasks, the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing administrative offices, including the Grant Office, Finance, Administration, IT, and HR come together to minimize the work for both sides of the equation. This is done with periodic review of processes and the creation of procedures and workflows that minimize the duplication of efforts by those administrative offices. These synergies result in the reduction of the PI’s frustration and gives them back the time formerly spent vacillating between offices trying to determine “Who can do this for me?” This session will promote the exchange of ideas for those who may experience silos within their school/department highlighting research success as a common goal and fostering inclusivity.

What’s New in Responsible Conduct of Research Training and Who Needs to Know
Formal training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) began in the late 80s/early 90s when it became increasingly apparent that the apprentice model for RCR wasn’t enough. Several institutions established courses in research ethics and scientific integrity because research trainees appeared to have not learned fundamental issues important to the conduct of science. Mentoring alone was not sufficient and it was now necessary to supplement with formal courses. “Core” topics were defined and through the years these have shifted in focus, especially so in the post- pandemic world. In February 2022 NIH released an updated list of topics with several focused on safe-guarding scientific security and creating safe research environments that are free of harassment and discriminatory practices. Section 10337 of the CHIPs and Science Act calls for NSF to require RECR training on mentor/mentorship, research security threat awareness, and export controls and to expand training to include not only undergraduate/graduate students, but also postdoctoral researchers, faculty, and other senior personnel. This session will cover the topic changes and RCR requirements for different funding mechanisms.

Your PI Is Leaving, Now What: Research Administration Case Studies on Faculty Departures
The loss of a faculty member can create shockwaves throughout an entire department and organization. When these departures occur, research administrators are often left with a huge list of tasks, limited guidance, and unclear priorities. Guided by real life case studies (primarily in the NIH realm), we will discuss the practical implications of faculty departures on pre/post award research administration. We will examine considerations for all types of departures, present action plans and checklists to implement in each situation, and discuss pain points and pitfalls in order to give research administrators a road map to success for their own unique departure situations.

Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) and Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) Update
The Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) and the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP) are important organizations to research administration. The FDP is an association of US federal agencies; academic research institutions, with administrative, faculty and technical representation and research policy organizations that work to streamline the administration of federally sponsored research. FDP members of all sectors cooperate in identifying, testing and implementing new, more effective ways of managing federal research grants, with the goal of improving the productivity of research without compromising its stewardship. COGR is an association of leading research universities, affiliated medical centers and independent research institutes, that provides national expertise on the financial and regulatory infrastructure and the corresponding compliance requirements associated with managing federal research grants and contracts within research institutions. COGR communicates the viewpoint and concerns of its members and fosters productive relationships between the research community and federal policymakers, advocating for innovation and change that avoid unnecessary regulatory burden. This session will include a brief summary of past, current and planned initiatives of both organizations followed by questions and open discussion.

Collaboration & Leadership in Action: Designing an Interuniversity Call for Research Proposals
This session will present a case study about an Interuniversity Call for Research Proposals developed by nine Chilean universities, following every step of the call design process. The session aims to engage the audience in identifying and analyzing the learnings and pitfalls of each feature that involves the creation of a call, including the increased complexity of an inter-university setting. Directors for research (or equivalent positions) of the universities involved in the call will convey the experience with first-hand knowledge about the decisions made — and the decision-making process required for each — leading first to the objective of defining the scope and then developing our First Interuniversity Call for Research Proposals of Early Career Researchers. This process involves different levels of expertise, such as political, institutional, operational, and resources. It is accessible to almost every professional involved in research management.

Improving Credibility to Speak Research Administration with Authority
Many research administrators have moved into new leadership or management roles at the department level and stepped into what sometimes appears to be a disaster by finding non-compliant practices, inefficient workflows and the lack of sound post-award and financial management practices. Gut instinct is to rush to the Director or high-level leadership, but without proper tactics and preparation, this could create unnecessary conflict, tension with team members and could potentially cause the director to have hesitation in building trust with the new incumbent. While the new role may be at mid-management level and can have several years of research administration experience, rushing to judgement without listening to the team and leadership to understand and acknowledge why the ways things are can prevent operations from changing and improving. This session will demonstrate through discussion and role playing the do’s and don’ts of communicating department level business operations issues and how to approach the team and leaders to form a consensus and followership for the desired changes.

Extensive New Foreign Disclosure Obligations and Security Requirements: How to Comply With Updates to the SBIR and NSPM-33
Federal funding agencies have recently expanded their policies and requirements in key areas of research security and foreign influence disclosures. First, in January 2022, NSPM-33 Implementation Guidance created entirely new obligations for institutions, such as research organizations, colleges, and universities, to implement a Research Security Program (RSP) if they received more than $50 million in federal funding in the prior two fiscal years and to provide a security compliance certification to remain eligible for federal grants. Second, the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022 made considerable changes pertaining to foreign influence and security risk disclosures. This session will discuss how small businesses and research institutions can comply with these changing reporting requirements and detail the risks of violations.

How A Shared Service Organization Provides High Level Service to Faculty
The increased complexity and changing nature of research administration led us to evaluate the models we use institutionally to provide services to faculty. This session will look at Yale’s approach to centralizing research administration services for academic and non-academic departments. Our organization, Faculty Research Management Services, seeks to raise the level of service to Principal Investigators while increasing compliance and mitigating risk. During this session, we will discuss how the current model was designed and implemented on our campus, provide examples of Pre and Post-Award services to faculty and provide an opportunity to discuss all aspects of this model.

Imagining Failures to Identify Blind Spots in Research Administration and Compliance
Both gap and root-cause analysis can be useful in identifying reasons for failures in situations or events. Research also supports another approach. In 1989, a team of researchers discovered that prospective hindsight—imagining failures beforehand—increases the ability to correctly identify reasons for future outcomes by 30 (Mitchell, et al: https://doi.org/10.1002/bdm.3960020103). Prospective hindsight offers advantages in improving the quality of outcomes and preventing mishaps in areas of research. Participants in this session will examine the strategy of using prospective hindsight to spot potential blind spots in areas of research administration and compliance. Using prospective hindsight, participants will assess scenarios to identify potential blind spots that could negatively affect the quality of the outcomes. Then, participants will suggest changes to the scenarios to improve their outcomes.

Letters of Intent, White Papers, Preproposals, Abstracts, Logic Models and Quad Charts: The Importance of Short Papers in Successful Grant Applications
Many grant agencies are requiring short preliminary papers before a full proposal can be submitted. These documents serve multiple purposes in funding agencies but often have little detail on preparing them. This session will provide definitions of these papers, their multiple purposes, and which funding agencies require them. Agency-specific formats will be illustrated and a template will be provided for use with agencies that do not offer specific instructions. The speaker will offer strategies to increase the chances of funding success with well-developed short papers that meet agency needs.

Opening Keynote: The Indispensable Role of Research Administrators
In response to the growing crisis of misinformation, Jevin West co-founded the Center for an Informed Public (CIP) at the University of Washington in 2019. The mission of the center is to resist strategic misinformation, promote an informed society, and strengthen democratic discourse through research, policy, education and community engagement. Today, they consist of more than 50 faculty, research scientists, staff, students, and postdocs and are one of the leading centers devoted to the topic misinformation. An often overlooked acknowledgment in the creation of these new research centers and initiatives is the role of research services in making this all happen. In this talk, Jevin will talk about his research and the role that research services played in his work. He will also talk about the evolving nature of this role on academic campuses, as he steps into a new Associated Dean of Research position next year.

Closing Keynote: Iterative Translational Science with a Focus on Novel Therapeutics and Inclusion: Obstacles and Advancements
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) and diffuse midline glioma (DMG) are universally fatal central nervous system (CNS) tumors of childhood. While hundreds of clinical trials have failed, by optimizing preclinical models and developing innovative, iterative clinical trial pipelines, the international community is poised for a breakthrough to help these children and young adults. By leveraging the potential of targeted immunotherapy, Seattle Children’s has developed a series of intracranial chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell trials with the hope of safer, more effective therapeutic options. So far, over 80 enrolled children have received nearly 500 doses of intracranial CAR T cells and success with single-antigen targeting has advanced to multi-antigen targeting. By focusing on appropriate preclinical modeling and inclusive clinical trial enrollment strategies, these trials are laying a foundation for future immunotherapy trials for children with CNS diseases.

Introducing the SuRE (Support for Research Excellence) Resource Center: Reducing Barriers and Building Research Capacity at Under-Resourced Academic Institutions Competing for National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grants
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) implemented the Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) grant mechanism (R16) in 2021 to support research capacity building at U.S. higher education institutions that receive limited NIH research support and serve students from groups underrepresented in biomedical research. R16 support is designed to increase funding success, promote student research and enrich the campus research environment at eligible institutions. To facilitate skills development among potential faculty applicants and to build institutional research capacity, the SuRE Resource Center established at the University of Kentucky trains faculty and research administrative staff in key areas in writing and managing grant awards using a progressive, comprehensive curriculum. The aims are to expand the number of institutions participating in NIH-funded research and build an interactive SuRE community. For institutions committed to establishing or expanding their research administrative infrastructure, competitive seed grant money is available to facilitate those efforts. In this session, members of the SuRE Resource Center will present on NIH SuRE funding opportunities, showcase resources available through the SuRE Resource Center, and highlight upcoming training opportunities, seed grants, and program offerings. The SuRE Resource Center is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (1U24GM146576-01).

Legal Issues for Non US Private Universities Receiving US Funding
This session will highlight some of the complex technical and legal issues faced by Non US Universities when the project sponsor is a US entity. In many donor agreements the US Legal framework is incorporated by reference, but how does a private Non-US entity determine which legal rules apply? How does the Private Non-US institution negotiate with a US Government Sponsor versus a Private US Project donor? The answer to these questions are relevant especially in the changing Research Environment, where small quasi-private universities are clamoring for Research Funding from an ever decreasing research funding pool.

Research Administration at PUIs, Academic Medical Centers, Non-Profits – Alike or Different?
Research administration is “research administration” no matter where you work, right? There are similarities between academic medical centers (AMC) versus primarily undergraduate universities (PUI) as well as notable differences. This session will cover how two seasoned research administrators have landed in different places from major AMCs, non-profit healthcare, and PUIs. We will discuss the process of how each institutional model functions, including acting in de-centralized or centralized systems. We will engage the attendees with our real-life experiences and how we have found this to be a way to increase our knowledge, adaptability, and growth within different institutional models.

The Expansion of Conflict of Commitment
Conflict of commitment (COC) is an important topic for research compliance, research security, and research risk. Over the past several years, funding agencies and institutions have updated existing guidance, or created new guidance, that has expanded the scope of COC. This session will take a deep dive into the foundations of COC and analyze how the original concept of COC has broadened into several emergent definitions, and become a vital component of research security and foreign influence discussions. The applicability of outside activities, personal ideologies, individual research projects, and research integrity, will be reviewed in light of these emerging COC definitions and expectations. Recommendations for how institutions can best keep up with the changes and meet funding agency expectations will also be provided.

Using Salesforce as a Subrecipient Entity Monitoring Tool
This session will discuss how RAND transitioned from a excel worksheet for tracking their subrecipient entity monitoring activities to using Salesforce. The transition enabled RAND to streamline and modernize how they perform assessments; better track data related to the subrecipient entity monitoring and management requirements in 2 CFR 200; and store the data in a more stable platform.

After the Storm: Defining Inclusive and Thoughtful Institutional Approaches to Research Security in the Wake of the China Initiative
This session will discuss the evolution of research security (arguably the newest area of research compliance) and how institutions can make sense of its history now that NSPM-33 implementation seems to be taking its final form and the dust has settled from various enforcement actions. From some of the initial FBI outreach to research institutions in 2017, to the November 2018 announcement of the China Initiative, to the current form of NSPM-33, and the aftermath – some of which has involved cases of misconduct on the part of Federal investigators as well as prosecutorial overreach (involving professors at Temple University, University of Tennessee, and University of Kansas). There have also been instances of clear wrongdoing at Harvard, Emory, and WVU, and instances where institutions have been subject to large false claims settlements for failure to perform their due diligence on required disclosures. And while some of the cases have been thrown out, the impact of the regulatory focus has had a chilling effect which has turned scientists away from Federal funding and caused alarm among faculty members. In the forward to NSPM-33 written by Eric Lander, he states: “if our policies to address those actions significantly diminish our superpower of attracting global scientific talent — or if they fuel xenophobia against Asian Americans — we will have done more damage to ourselves than any competitor or adversary could.” This session will provide an update on the current state of research security compliance, and strategies for building research security programs, and thoughtfully communicating with and educating faculty in a manor which is inclusive, and protects both researchers and their institutions.

Do the Early and Late Birds Get the Worm? Internal Proposal Deadline Management
Does your institution have an internal proposal routing process with defined internal routing deadlines? If so, let's discuss how implementation of those deadlines works in your department and consequences for when those deadlines are missed. If your institution has no process, let's discuss how you can advocate with your researchers for real-world results. Participants will leave with email templates and proven strategies for this often tricky negotiation with researchers.

Walking the Tight Rope: How to Use Data and Fresh Perspectives to Balance Operations and Transformation in a World of Competing Research Administration Priorities
In the first several months after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many research institutions found themselves hurled into a fully remote environment despite varying levels of preparation and readiness. Simultaneously, many research administrators embraced the opportunity to reflect on their current roles and career goals and set out on different paths – creating a disruptive environment for the business of sponsored research across the country. This session will provide an overview of how UMass Lowell capitalized on this disruption to transform its Grants and Contracts Administration unit by reevaluating roles and responsibilities, recruiting top-talent from other leading research universities, and leveraging its interim support from Huron to not only maintain operations, but to redesign key legacy business processes (from Proposal Intake/Submission, to Award Setup) and do an assessment of its business performance (using data from Huron’s RADIUS Benchmarking Survey) to make data-based decisions on its future state.

The FDP Expanded Clearinghouse: Making Subrecipient Monitoring Efficient One Profile at a Time
The FDP Expanded Clearinghouse (EC) contains a wealth of information on several hundred research organizations and is a helpful tool for subrecipient monitoring. But have you ever wondered how all that information gets into the EC and how the data is vetted behind the scenes? In this session, you’ll hear from an FDP EC Subcommittee co-chair, and learn how information is entered into the EC, reviewed for accuracy, and eventually published. We will walk through the profile data fields and review common errors. We will pay special attention to the sections on Single Audit and how to read and understand the information contained therein.

What Did Your Principal Investigator Promise to Provide on This Proposal? Understanding Mandatory versus Voluntary Committed Cost Share
So, you need to add cost share to the proposal? Do you need to add cost share, or do you want to add cost share? Perhaps the funding agency requires a percent commitment from your institution. Maybe, your principal investigator is over the salary cap. A little bump in available funding will make the scope feasible? The team thinks that providing tuition through cost share will make the training grant more attractive. You’re thinking is that it is just a little cost share. It’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it? But, is it? In this session, we will differentiate mandatory versus voluntary committed cost share. What are items you can include in a cost-share package? We will also evaluate the cost-benefit ratio for including these types of commitments in a proposal budget as well as the impact to the institution.

A Roadmap for eRA System Implementations from PUI to Tier 1 Institutions
Implementing new electronic research administration systems can be a challenge even for large research enterprises with plentiful resources. For smaller institutions, and especially PUIs and HBCUs, the process may seem overwhelming. But with good planning and little foresight, a successful implementation doesn't need to leave you pulling your hair out. In this session, Senior Solutions Consultant, Matthew Kingore from Cayuse is joined by Jennifer Hanlon Patterson, Director of Sponsored Programs at Stephen F. Austin State University to discuss the lessons learned from a recent eRA software implementation at a PUI and help you plan for a smooth transition at your institution. Additional panelists who adopted previous Cayuse eRA software will provide further insight into what it takes to plan and implement successfully - Beverly Kemp, eRA - Research Coordinator of Research and Sponsored Programs at Lamar University

Addressing Challenges and Barriers to Rural Veteran Participation in Clinical Research Within the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System
The Veterans Affairs (VA) Cooperative Studies Program (CSP) is a division of the VA Office of Research and Development (ORD) that is responsible for the planning and conduct of clinical trials and epidemiological studies within the VA’s integrated healthcare system. The CSP “Advancing Capacity for Clinical Research through Engagement with Strategic Sites (ACCESS)” initiative is a 3-year pilot program that aims to identify and partner with rural/lower complexity VA Medical Centers (strategic sites) that have a desire to institute/strengthen/improve their overall clinical research enterprise to conduct CSP and other VA multi-site research. Its primary aim is to improve access to opportunities to participate in clinical research for Veterans that reside in rural areas of the United States. This topic is both relevant and provides value to the field of research administration because the generalizability of a study's findings to the broader society is greatly enhanced by and correlated to the diversity of its participants (rural/urban, race/ethnicity, gender, etc.).

Cannabis Research & the Regulatory Landscape
Rigorous scientific research associated with cannabis in all its forms is critically needed to keep pace with legalized cannabis consumption, but currently, university researchers face a daunting maze of regulatory requirements. Researchers seeking to conduct cannabis research must navigate the arduous, sometimes unclear regulatory process that includes the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Food and Drug Administration, offices or departments in state government, and the researchers’ home institution among others. Additionally, researchers must obtain cannabis from a federally authorized manufacturer with limited access to real-world cannabis for research use. Lastly, given the legal status of cannabis on the federal level, many activities of the cannabis industry located in states that have legalized adult use cannabis are prohibited under federal law, creating concerns about accepting funding from and engaging with the cannabis industry. This presentation will share approaches that the University of California has considered to support the varied and complex research interests in the cannabis space given these complicated regulatory requirements.

Designing a Datamart to Unlock Valuable Insight: Northwestern’s Story
Grants and agreements systems can provide a treasure trove of insight into sponsored activity at an institution, but it is impossible to take advantage of this information unless there is a powerful tool in place to leverage that data. In this case study we will tell the story of Northwestern University’s implementation of a datamart to support our new grants and agreements system called CERES. We will outline key lessons we learned along the way about how to structure the datamart, what data fields to include, how to provide access to the data, and how analytics based on the data can be used to inform operations and strategy. We will also discuss how the project was organized as a partnership between Sponsored Research and Information Technology and how we engaged stakeholders in the process to ensure we were designing a product that meets the needs of the community.

How to Write a Journal Article for Peer-Review Publication
This Learning Lab’s goal is to demonstrate how research administrators can overcome their writing anxieties and develop scholarly articles that could be published by a professional journal. It will introduce the complex process of academic publishing and include targeted exercises to demystify the writing process, taking an often overwhelming process and breaking it into manageable pieces. Learning Lab participants will develop basic competencies in written communication, including planning, writing, peer-reviewing, revising, and submitting a scientific or academic manuscript for publication. Participants should bring a list of ways they have already contributed to the research administration field (e.g., through their area of expertise, through conference presentations, etc.) so that by the end of the session, they can envision how to build on those efforts to develop a peer-reviewed journal article. Lab content will also address writing-related anxiety, time management, organization, editing, and responding to reviewers. This Learning Lab 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.

Research Intelligence for Science Prioritization in Academic Planning
Research intelligence, generally referred to as the ability to effectively gather, analyse, and interpret information for research purposes, is positioning itself as an essential tool for prioritisation in academic planning. Research intelligence involves various skills, including information retrieval, trends evaluation, data analysis and visualisation, challenges-solving orientation, research design, ethical considerations, and effective communication.
Research intelligence enables scientists to understand public research policy better, navigate a vast amount of data to meaningful insights, and contribute to influencing policymaking and knowledge creation and innovation to benefit society. Science agencies and legislators highly scrutinise science’s impact and contribution to advance society. This session will discuss the growing need for academia to place science policy and research intelligence as part of its administration and planning process to increase its capacity to make an impact and continue to attract funding. Saudi Arabia is going through a massive transformation of its economy and society. Academia and research are at the core of this transformation. They are requested to align to four Research, Innovation and Development (RDI) Priorities: Health and Well-being, Sustainability and Essential Needs, Energy and Industrial Leadership, and Economies of the Future. To align with the RDI, KAUST is embarking on a transformative process to ensure its research expertise and innovation capacity can benefit the Kingdom’s economy and society. The University is adopting a strategy plan affecting all departments, academic programs, core labs, and research centres. Research intelligence is becoming embedded in the academic review processes and translated into action plans for implementation, following specific KPIs and impact assessment indicators. For example, the climate emergency and the complexity of geopolitics in a much more unstable and volatile world are calling for countries to review their energy policies and improve energy security. They are step-up investments in renewables, cleaner power and storage solutions such as green and blue hydrogen, and advanced carbon capture and storage technologies. Research intelligence can help researchers and institutions through data-driven decision-making, research and academic program evaluations and redesign for future planning supporting policymaking, prioritisation in technological advancement, risks assessment and mitigation, multi-stakeholder engagement processes, and international collaborations for joint approaches. By combining research expertise with comprehensive data gathering, analysis and easy-to-access violations, scientists and institutions can inform decision-making for impactful policies and new legislations. Research intelligence, therefore, contributes early stage to creating larger-scale sustainable and resilient energy systems that meet the evolving needs of countries and their citizens.
