Dear Departmental Administrators: SRA is offering their Departmental Administrators (DA-101) course. This is a two-day Certification Course in Conjunction with the SRA NE Section Annual Meeting being held at the Westin Providence, Providence, Rhode Island on April 12-14, 2003 Departmental Administrators are a diverse group of individuals representing universities, hospitals, private research centers and government agencies with a broad spectrum of responsibilities. While their work often entails areas outside of the field of research administration, the overlap of responsibilities provides for enhanced opportunities in assisting the researcher. The SRA training course will address this diversity and the means to utilize its benefits in the department environment. It will encompass regulation from multiple sources that affect the administrator's day to day decision processes. Program Highlights · Panel Discussions (including veteran department administrators) · Case Studies · Group Studies · Federal Circulars · Compliance · Intellectual Property · Emphasis on Facilitation of Research The two-day DA-101 certification course has been developed for department administrators with two or less years of experience in the profession and/or those who have more than two years experience but did not yet receive formal training. A certificate of completion will be awarded to those who finish the course.
