You are invited to join your colleagues in presenting your ideas and
initiatives in the SRA Paper Session.  The Annual Meeting Program Planning
Committee invites you to prepare a paper for this session.  This year, all
papers selected for presentation will also be considered for publication in
the SRA Journal.  You are requested to follow the "Information for
Contributors" guidelines, located in the back of each SRA Journal, when
preparing your paper.  The guidelines encourage you to follow the
publication style manual of the American Psychological Association.

The SRA Paper Session will showcase member, as well as non-member,
activities and feature your paper in a 15-minute presentation followed by
discussion with audience participants, who will also have a written summary
or a copy of your paper.  SRA members, as well as non-members, are invited
to submit papers.  You may present on any aspect of research admiistration.
A good source of ideas is the Research Administration Body of Knowledge
categories.

Papers will be jointly reviewed by Beth Manning and Margorie Piechowski,
who will assist the applicants to prepare the papers to meet the SRA
Journal format.

Papers are due by August 20, 1997 and should be forwarded by E-mail or on
