What keeps Research Administration busy?

Funding sources to identify

Grant applications to submit

Grants to track

Costs to account for

Sponsors to satisfy

Contracts to review

Regulations to abide by

Certifications to acquire

Conflicts to avoid or mitigate

Misconduct to investigate

Findings to disseminate

Intellectual property to protect

Technologies to transfer

Electronic systems to implement

Space to allocate

Training to conduct

Hi,

I have been asked to put together a presentation depicting/explaining what tasks Research Administrators do other than “hit submit” and how much time they spend on those tasks. I have been given a very short deadline (need to present this on Friday to the president of the University). Does anyone have this kind of information that they would be willing to share, or know of any resources online that I can use? I keep finding info for administrative burden for PIs but not so much for the RA.

Thanks!
Ashley
