Same Same, But Different: Departmental Challenges and Successes
April 25, 2024
2:00 – 3:30 pm ET * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm ET * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!
Borrowing from this popular phrase with origins in Southeast Asia, this session will explore the similarities and differences between research administration offices of all sizes whether central or departmental. While our research volumes are drastically different, the workloads, per capita funding for staffing, and stressors are quite similar. Join us as we provide our perspectives from our different vantage points. We will discuss staffing challenges, remote/hybrid workforces, and dealing with last minute proposals along with the challenge of being all things to all people.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the similarities and differences faced by leaders of small medium, large and massive research administration portfolios.
- Understand how to leverage connections to network in solving problems
