Is there an online listing of what is to be considered junk or is it more of an individual judgement call? Personally, I don't see where the original post was junk, nor the two immediate responses. The last two threads, one of which is my own, I would consider junk, so I hereby apologize for contributing to the perceived problem.

Interested? Deciding who gets to go to the mid-morning and mid-afternoon sessions is a logistical nightmare! And making sure there is no deep relaxation periods on deadline days..let me tell you!

I am not so lucky, as I know a lot of us are either. I do have to agree with you on considering researchers in dire situations, but I would not be embarrassed by this survey at all. In my area, some persons do not understand the true importance of our work and why research administration is stressful in a different way from other administrative positions. Maybe I should work at your institute!!! Are there any positions available? :-) Julie ________________________________ From: Research Administration List [ mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org <mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org> ] On Behalf Of Charlie Hathaway Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 11:55 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] Stress and Research Administration I have gigatons of respect for all of you, but I think we have to consider our stress in relation to that of researchers these days, particularly those who can't just go back to teaching or the clinic when the horrible grant success rates leave them dry. I would be embarrassed if a PI in funding despair found out that a survey was asking about my ability to get lots of sleep, go running, and eat vegetables because my job was so tough.

With the advent of the grants.gov mandates, I believe that the most stressful positions at this time are at pre-proposal level. I work at the dept level and I am sure that my stress level is considerable lower than those dealing with proposal submittal deadlines and a system that is less than perfect. Caroline Caroline E.

Or does it??? I am conducting an anonymous 8 question survey of my colleagues for a paper I am writing on stress perception among research administrators with an anxiety expert, Dr. Olga Brawman-Mintzer. Please consider taking 5-7 minutes of your time to participate. The survey has been reviewed by the IRB at the Medical University of South Carolina, HR#17440 and has qualified as Exempt Research.
