When returning to the office after the holiday break our focus usually returns to professional development and career advancement so I thought it would be helpful to know there is still time to register for the next Certified Pre-award Research Administration (CPRA) exam.

The testing window for the CPRA exam is February 18  - March 3, 2012.  The application deadline is January 16, 2012.

More information about the exam is located on RACC's website http://cra-cert.org/examschedule.html .

In response to requests from interested pre-award research administrators, RACC has developed a review session of the CPRA Body of Knowledge. Attending a review session may help you determine your knowledge strengths and identify areas where you may need to study.  Review sessions will be held throughout 2012 --look at the RACC website http://cra-cert.org/examschedule.html for more information.  If you are interested in arranging a CPRA review session on your campus, please contact Joan Campbell at xxxxxx@cra-cert.org<mailto:xxxxxx@cra-cert.org> .

Happy New Year,
Kim
