Le thème du congrès de cette année est Portail pour la recherche : naviguer dans les eaux internationales. Ceci correspond parfaitement au lieu de notre réunion puisque Montréal est un port dynamique depuis le XVIIème siècle.

Le congrès célèbrera aussi la création de la section internationale de SRA, sa première nouvelle section depuis la fondation de SRA en 1967. En tant qu’administrateurs de recherche, nous sommes tous confrontés à une mondialisation croissante de la recherche et SRA International voit aussi le nombre de ses membres internationaux croître, avec 34 pays à travers le monde.

Le congrès annuel de SRA International est la réunion majeure des administrateurs de recherche, et propose les exposés des plus grands noms dans notre domaine. Cette conférence a l’honneur d’accueillir le Dr. Feridun Hamdullahpur, le nouveau directeur d’établissement et vice-chancelier de l’université de Waterloo, qui sera l’orateur principal lors de la session d’ouverture générale lundi matin.

Une nouveauté cette année : un moment à la fin de chaque journée pour réseauter et rencontrer vos nouveaux ou anciens amis. Nous avons installé un salon d’hospitalité dans le magnifique hall de cet hôtel.

Cette année, le hall d’exposition abrite un large éventail d’exposants dans un superbe espace surplombant le Mont Royal d’un côté, et les salles de réunion de l’autre. Le hall d’exposition offrira une chance exceptionnelle de découvrir de nouveaux produits et services.

Le splendide hôtel Fairmont Queen Elizabeth est un lieu historique où de nombreux personnages importants ont séjourné, tels que la Reine Elizabeth II, Charles de Gaulle, Fidel Castro, Indira Gandhi, le Dalai Lama, Henry Kissinger, Mikhail Baryshnikov; il a même été le lieu du fameux « Bed-In » de John Lennon et Yoko Ono pour la paix, en 1969.

Nous voulons tout particulièrement remercier l’ensemble des présidents de groupe et les examinateurs des sujets de discussion, les directeurs de session et d’atelier, l’équipe du siège social, le comité de SRA International, les exposants, et un grand merci à tous les participants, grâce à qui ce congrès passionnant sera un événement inoubliable.

Nous sommes très heureux et honorés de pouvoir coordonner cette réunion.

Nous sommes impatients de vous accueillir personnellement à cette conférence très importante, dans cette belle et dynamique ville de Montréal au Québec.

Cette réunion vous offre aussi la possibilité de constituer un étonnant réseau social et professionnel, que vous ne voudrez manquer à aucun prix.

Welcome Welcome to Montréal!

On behalf of the entire planning committee, it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the 44th Annual Meeting of the Society of Research Administrators International in Montréal, Québec, Canada at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel.

The theme of this year’s meeting is Portal to Research: Navigating International Waters. This is particularly relevant to the venue, as Montréal has been a vibrant port city since the 1600s. The meeting also celebrates the creation of SRA’s International Section, its first new Section since the establishment of SRA in 1967. As research administrators, we are all experiencing a major internationalization of research, and SRA International itself is growing with an increasing number of international members from over 36 countries around the world.

The SRA International Annual Meeting is the pre-eminent gathering of research administrators, with presentations from the foremost leaders in our field. This conference is honored to have Dr. Feridun Hamdullahpur, the newly appointed Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Waterloo, join us as keynote speaker at the Opening General Session on Monday morning.

New this year is a dedicated time at the end of each day’s events to network and socialize with new and old friends alike. Please join your colleagues in the Hospitality Lounge located in the beautiful lobby of the conference hotel.

This year, the Exhibit Hall hosts a wide variety of exhibitors in a great space overlooking Mont Royal on one side, and the meeting rooms on the other. The Exhibit Hall will offer a fantastic opportunity to discover new products and services.

The beautiful and historic Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel has had many famous international guests such as Queen Elizabeth II, Charles de Gaulle, Fidel Castro, Indira Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Henry Kissinger and Mikhail Baryshnikov and was the place of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Bed-In” for Peace in 1969.

We give special thanks to all the track chairs and thread reviewers, session and workshop leaders, the headquarters team, the SRA International Board of Directors, and exhibitors and great thanks to all the registrants for making this a colorful and active meeting to remember.

We are very excited and humbled by the opportunity to chair this meeting. We look forward to personally welcoming you to this very important international meeting, in the beautiful and lively city of Montréal, Québec. This meeting also offers a captivating social and networking program that you will not want to miss.

Sincerely,

Amy Sikalis

Join us to view “The Lucky Few” documentary created by the United States Navy about the role of the USS Kirk during Operation Frequent Wind and Operation New Life.

In April 1975, the destroyer escort USS Kirk became a haven for refugees fleeing South Vietnam. Instantly, officers and sailors trained as warriors transformed a man-of-war into a humanitarian assistance ship. The documentary entitled “The Lucky Few” tells the story of how this small vessel rescued more than 30,000 refugees and escorted them to freedom and a new life. Research saves lives. “The Lucky Few” makes that clear as day.

The movie runs for about 1-hour and will be followed by a facilitated discussion and reception.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

M1: Moving On or Up in Your Research Administration Career Room: Péribonka Content Level: All Levels Planning a career path in research administration requires a clear sense of direction, an understanding of the breadth and depth of the profession, and making the right match between applicant and position. This session will present strategies to develop effective application letters and resumes tailored for moving on or up in your research administration career. Attendees will review examples of letters and resumes from applicants across a spectrum of research administration positions. Participants also will learn to analyze position descriptions and ads to determine whether the position is a good fit and an appropriate career move. The session will be useful to job candidates and to managers who are reviewing and hiring staff in research administration positions. The presenter has extensive experience in hiring and managing staff in research administration and has served on multiple search committees to identify research administration candidates for staff as well as leadership roles.

Learning Objectives: 1. Describe components of an effective application letter and resume for research administration positions and apply this knowledge to individual career development.

2. List appropriate items to include in an effective position description and develop ads to attract high quality applicants for staff or leadership.

Speaker: Marjorie Piechowski, PhD, Director of Research Support, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Certificate: LD-Elective

M2: Understanding Personality Can Improve Effectiveness in the Workplace Room: Chaudière Content Level: All Levels Research administrators face many pressures including deadlines and anxious, sometimes distraught, faculty members. In this environment it is useful to understand that personality plays a role in every interaction. Much of the comfort or discomfort we feel when interacting with someone arises from the agreement or disagreement among personality types. For example, there are times when the perception of conflict actually arises from personality differences. An understanding of personality differences can smooth the way to effective interactions with the people we work with on a daily basis. This presentation will use information from the tool known as “Insights Discovery” that works to promote individual and organizational effectiveness. By understanding personality preferences, individuals gain insight into themselves which, in turn, enables them to better understand others.

The influence of personality will be demonstrated by a case study that includes university-wide data to illustrate the role of personality in organizational behavior.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify different personality preferences.

2. Analyze personal interactions at work to clarify what people need or expect from the situation at hand.

M3: Balancing the Challenges of International Research with U.S. Export Control Regulations: Creating a Network of Support for PI’s and Research Administrators Room: Hochelaga 5/6 Content Level: All Levels Given the challenges of balancing international research endeavors with U.S. Export Control regulations, some institutions are shying away from the unprecedented opportunities that exist in today’s global environment. Learn how THE RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION IMPROVEMENT NETWORK, TRAIN™ at the University of South Florida (USF) is helping to encourage international research endeavors by establishing a “Network of Support” for research faculty, administrators, and students. The “Network of Support” is a creative model, strategically designed to promote international research by helping PIs and research administrators successfully balance export control compliance with USF’s institutional commitment as a Global Research University through a newly formed unit called “USF World.”

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify the strategies for balancing the challenges of international research and export control regulations.

2. Describe how to establish a network of support that actively promotes international research by helping PIs and research administrators successfully navigate export control regulations.

Speakers: Pearl Bigfeather, Associate Vice President for Sponsored Research and Finance, Keith Anderson, Acting Assistant Director, Sponsored Research, and Robin Jones, Elizabeth Foster, Brenda Simmons, TRAIN™ Facilitators, University of South Florida

M4: Funding Mechanisms and the Pitfalls Associated With Each Room: Saint-Laurent Content Level: Basic What are the differences between gifts, grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, etc.? It’s a complex world we live in and the lines are blurring! The vehicle through which monies come into the institution is a funding mechanism. Being able to properly identify the type of funding mechanism in play is the threshold question in the review process. Having a solid understanding of the pitfalls associated with each funding mechanism allows one to determine a reasonable action plan to move a project forward as efficiently as possible. Regardless of the type of funding mechanism in play, one can focus a project review through four basic frames: Laws/Rules/Regulations, Academic Mission, Institutional Policies and Pragmatic Considerations.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify the various mechanisms of sponsorship (gifts, grants, contracts, cooperative agreements).

2. Apply four frames during the review process to identify common pitfalls: Laws/Rules/Regulations, Academic Mission, Institutional Policies and Pragmatic Considerations.

Speakers: Madison Gray, JD, CRA, Assistant Director, Contract Management, Vanderbilt University; Tammie Bain, JD, Manager,

M5: Departmental Administration for Large Scale Programmatic Grants: From Development to Conclusion Room: Saint-Maurice Content Level: All Levels At some point in their career many research administrators are likely to encounter a major programmatic grant. This session will explore the complete lifecycle of a program grant from what it takes to support the development of such a program through what happens when that program ends and the institution moves on. Elements of this session include how to manage research teams, start-up and operational issues to consider, financial, staff and faculty management, program renewals and finally, audits and closeout. Exploration of case studies as well as some tools will be available to help research administrators prepare for the challenges of program grant management and enhance their existing skills.

Learning Objectives: 1. Develop an understanding of the key elements to successful programmatic grant management.

2. Increase skills in supporting programmatic grant development.

Speaker: Daniel Campbell, COBRE Program Administrative Coordinator, University of Idaho

M6: Key Management Metrics: Using a Balanced Scorecard for Research Performance Monitoring Room: Bersimis Content Level: Intermediate/Advanced Research institutions and research support offices are interested in monitoring performance. Key performance indicators are now common, but they can conflate and confuse between different areas of performance, and the different performers involved. The use of the balanced scorecard provides four perspectives (internal processes, finance and resources, learning and growth, and customers and stakeholders), in order to help differentiate between aspects that are important. This session will explain the need for metrics in research administration, provide an approach to defining and implementing performance management metrics, and discuss the application of the balanced scorecard to research and research support, adapting the standard scorecard to institutional, academic and operational support viewpoints.

Learning Objectives: 1. Describe the balanced scorecard approach to performance monitoring, in both its generic form and as adapted to research activity.

2. Develop a plan for implementing metrics within one’s own organization. Construct a balanced scorecard for one’s own research operation.

Speakers: Ian Carter, PhD, Director of Research and Enterprise, University of Sussex; Rick Rohrbach, Managing Director, Huron Consulting Group Certificate: LD-Elective; PRAM-Elective

M7: Effective Budgeting and Contract Negotiations for Clinical Trials Room: Mackenzie Content Level: Intermediate Effective budget development and negotiation requires preparation.

S R A I n t e r n at i o n a l 2011

This session will identify costs associated with a clinical trial as well as discuss hidden costs to be aware of so that administrators can accurately prepare budgets to consistently maximize revenues to their site. This session will also review serious adverse event payments and the importance of having the contract and Informed Consent Form language match should an SAE occur. This session will review the different payment terms presented to the site by the sponsor and the importance of identifying language that could impact cash flow to the site. Conducting negotiations with sponsors can be very challenging, so to complete the budgeting and negotiation cycle, this session will conclude with providing attendees some helpful negotiation strategies and allow participants to have an opportunity to actually negotiate a budget and contract with one another.

Learning Objectives: 1. Prepare for the substance and process of negotiations that commonly occur in research administration, recognize potential negotiation pitfalls and be able to effectively communicate their objectives.

2. Identify start-up and per-patient costs to maximize revenue to one’s site and develop budgets that will ensure one’s site’s costs are covered.

Speaker: Lisa Benson, Director of Research Administration and Sponsored Programs, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Certificate: CTRA101-Elective; CTRA201-Elective; PRAM-Elective

M8: How to Prepare for a Federal Audit Room: Jolliet Content Level: All Levels During this session the audience will learn how to prepare for a federal audit from an auditor perspective. We will talk about the main areas that auditors concentrate on during audits and will highlight key areas within the federal rules and regulations. Additionally, we will emphasize key areas such as effort reporting and will provide key points to help the audience understand whether they have an effective effort reporting system. Finally, we will provide some hints and advice on how to prepare for a successful audit or in the best of scenarios, how to prevent being selected for an audit by your granting agency.

Learning Objectives: 1. Understand that being proactive can prevent being selected to be audited by the grantor(s).

2. Prepare for an audit if selected for one and know what questions to ask the auditors.

2. Identify ways that bribes can be implemented into agreements and other transactions and differentiate between allowable and non-allowable payments to foreign officials.

Speakers: Michael Lowell, JD, Senior Associate and Leigh Hansson, JD, Partner, Reed Smith, LLP Certificate: RL-IV

M10: Conflict of Interest and Ethics Room: Gatineau Content Level: All Levels Companies and nonprofit organizations alike have been buffeted for the last fifteen years with issues of conflict and ethics ranging from simple questions of self-dealing (can the individual researcher profit from work done on “company time”) to complex socio-religious issues.

Governmental authorities have periodically established proscriptive and prescriptive laws and regulations promoting ethical behavior and criminalizing common activities. Most recently, much attention has been paid to legislation and regulation limiting the activities of medical personnel and organizations. Other issues that have arisen and that are still bubbling include the conflicts arising between inventors/authors and their employers, the duty to disclose wrongdoing, and the rights of the accused in non-judicial proceedings. This session will address the NSF/NIH policies, the Stark legislation, procurement integrity, the effect of the SEC rules, etc., on the enforcement of strictures against conflicts of interest and the mandated imposition of ethics rules on research organizations.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify and mitigate conflicts of interest.

2. Develop and administer conflicts of interest policies and procedures.

Speakers: J. Michael Slocum, JD, President, Slocum & Boddie, PC; Martin Letendre, Director of Ethics and Legal Affairs, Ethica Clinical Research, Inc. Certificate: RL-IV; PRAM-Elective

M13: DoD Research and Public Health Surveillance: Challenges in

the International Setting, What are the Issues and What to Do About Them?

Room: Matapédia Content Level: Intermediate

The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center (AFHSC) is the lead agent for conducting medical surveillance for the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) since 2008. Within the AFHSC, the Department of Defense Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System (DoD-GEIS) program provides a central coordination arm to provide guidance and funding support to a network of partners in conducting emerging infectious disease (EID) surveillance, research and response initiatives in over 75 countries worldwide. An important recurring theme that we deal with is the “scientific research versus public health surveillance” distinction when coordinating scientific efforts with international and host-country medical officials and scientists. This session will deal with the myriad of medico-ethical challenges we face, to include coordination with multiple scientific review and institutional review boards (IRBs) and will provide a framework for action in terms of proposed solutions in addressing them. These challenges are not unique to the U.S. DoD; other non-military hostcountry (MoH) and international medical groups (such as WHO) as well as civilian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have to face similar issues. These issues will be presented and discussed in an open fashion and feedback provided by attendees will be incorporated into a session summary that will build upon the previous session on DoDsupported international surveillance efforts presented in October 2009.

Learning Objectives: 1. Explain the distinctions between scientific research and public health surveillance.

2. Explain the main issues/problems faced while conducting infectious disease surveillance and research in an international setting.

3. Identify two important medico-ethical challenges in the international setting and proposed solutions for each.

Speakers: Jose Sanchez, Influenza Team Leader, Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center; Andres Lescano, PhD, Head of the Department of Parasitology and Director of Public Health Training, Giselle Soto, Medical Epidemiologist and Head IRB, and A.

M17: Helpful Gatekeepers: Positive Management of the Limited Submission Process Room: Saint-Laurent Content Level: Intermediate

Sponsor agencies are increasingly looking to limited submissions as a means of controlling the number of proposals they must process, forcing a sensitive gatekeeper role squarely on research administration. Rather than viewing limited submissions as a necessary but onerous responsibility, research administrators can manage this process in ways that can lead to constructive relationships with researchers, proposal improvements and overall faculty development.

This session will focus on ten guidelines for positive management of limited submission grant programs, with practical tips on how to implement them.

Learning Objectives:

This session will offer an approach to facilitating researchers’ grant writing and proposal development activities that is rooted in classical rhetoric concepts (e.g. the relationships among writer, text and audience; the Aristotelian appeals to logic, emotion and the speaker’s credibility). These concepts will provide a foundation for fellow research administrators to more effectively organize and present grant writing and proposal development workshops and seminars to researchers at their institutions. Attendees will be able to take this approach back to their campuses to strengthen their existing workshops and seminars and/or rethink/revise them for greater success (i.e. more competitive proposals and higher award rates).

1. List ten guidelines for positive management of limited submission grant programs.

2. Develop practical strategies for implementing the guidelines in one’s own institutional environment.

wading through the pages of FAR clauses that are identified. The wording changes periodically; the meanings can be nuanced; a particular clause may or may not apply. Often the time for requests for exceptions or negotiations is at the time of proposal submission.

In the frenzy to get the application completed, it can be difficult to get through the FAR clauses to make decisions about actions. Once awarded, post award specialists must again check the FAR clauses to ensure there are no changes and, if the contract is renewed, determine the applicability of the clauses once again. This session will present a database that Public Health Institute created to track its history with each of the FAR clauses. It contains information about what activities these FAR clauses included (either directly or by reference) and what action was done for each one.

Learning Objectives: 1. Evaluate the utility of a database to provide historical information about organizational actions regarding specific FAR clauses.

2. Identify ways to use databases to facilitate work in their home institutions.

M37: The Defensive IRB: Lessons to be Learned from the Practice of Defensive Medicine Room: Matapédia Content Level: Intermediate

One unintended and least desirable effect of an increase in medical malpractice litigation is the practice of defensive medicine. In defensive medicine, a provider’s actions are primarily undertaken to avoid liability rather than to benefit the patient. Examples of such a practice include doctors ordering tests, procedures, visits, or avoiding high-risk patients or procedures primarily (but not necessarily solely) to reduce their exposure to malpractice liability. Defensive medicine increases the cost of health care and may expose patients to unnecessary risks.

News of research institution shut-downs and human research lawsuits has increased dramatically since 1993. With the increase of liability for research institutes, what are the unintended effects of IRB defensive practices? What lessons can be learned from the practice of defensive medicine that is applicable to IRBs?

M50: Tactical Framework for a Clinical Trial Billing Audit Room: Hochelaga 5/6 Content Level: Intermediate Clinical trials present several operational, financial and regulatory challenges for provider organizations. Research patient billing is one of the areas that is often most problematic. The complexities associated with identifying, segregating and billing patient care charges that occur within a research protocol are often dealt with by health care organizations in highly customized, paper-intensive manual “workarounds.” This can contribute to frustration for the multiple stakeholders involved in effectuating the clinical trials billing continuum. Some of that frustration results from research patient billing errors that can be common in many provider organizations as well as sometime unacceptable delays in the timeliness of generating bills and debiting research accounts. Research administrators who seek to ensure that they are appropriately carrying out this process need tools to evaluate and audit their business procedures to ensure compliance effectiveness and optimized work flow. This session focuses on the issues that create the need for clinical trial billing audits, approaches to conducting such an audit, areas to review and a discussion of remediation strategies for dealing with the most common outcomes of such a review.

Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the dynamics, accountabilities and regulations surrounding clinical trials billing.

2. Identify the common areas of risk and issues that are usually cited in an audit.

M51: The FDA is Coming — How Will You Coordinate With Your Sponsor?

Room: Péribonka Content Level: All Levels

You have just gotten notice that the FDA will be visiting your site.

How will your sponsor be involved? Some of the details may be specified in your clinical trial agreement (CTA). Did you treat it as “boilerplate” when you negotiated the clinical trial agreement or did you consider the details about how the sponsor would be involved? Some details may be addressed at time of CTA signing but other details may depend upon the nature of the visit or how activities evolve during the FDA visit/review. This session will explore some of the issues that may come into play when the interests of the various entities [e.g., principal investigator (PI), facility/hospital, sponsor, site] are not in harmony (e.g. what if the sponsor wants to review and approve your response in advance but your PI doesn’t agree with this approach or disagrees with the sponsor’s perspective).

Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the importance of the CTA language regarding FDA visits.

2. Plan for FDA visits and sponsor involvement.

M52: Data Acquisition, Management, Ownership and Sharing

Content Level: All Levels

Room: Mackenzie Content Level: All Levels

“Collaboration in research” is one of the traditional elements in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) education. Research leaders realize the critical need for research to be conducted under the umbrella of “interdisciplinary.” Collaborations promote ingenuity for innovation and development beyond what was originally envisioned.

Beginning with initial joint ventures in 2008, today the Navy Medicine Institute for the Medical Humanities and Research Leadership and the Smithsonian Office of Sponsored Projects actively co-develop and co-direct a wide range of joint research and educational ventures that have typified this experience of “quantum leap promotion” that occurs when creative collaborations are established in a proactive spirit of inter-community cooperation and enthusiastic exploration of the possible. This concurrent session will review the history of these collaborations, will articulate some of the key elements for successful collaborations, and will explore the ultimate wisdom for including “collaborations” and “interdisciplinary” within the curriculum for RCR education.

This session will explore aspects of data management and ownership that involve relational aspects of scientific communication and interaction. Data acquisition will be discussed in the context of different disciplinary norms in order to strengthen participants’ understanding of different approaches that they may encounter throughout the academy. Data ownership will be analyzed in terms of a bundle or rights, allowing participants to better understand the roles that the institution and the investigators play in using and safeguarding data.

These basic concepts will lead to a more complete conception of the ethical issues surrounding data sharing, both among scientists and with the public.

Learning Objectives: 1. List the primary regulatory elements that guide the acquisition, ownership, management and sharing of research data.

2. Assess policies, procedures and practices within their organizations that impact the gathering, use, retention and disposition of research data.

Speaker: Russ Price, Federal Compliance Manager, Utah State University Certificate: RI-III; RL-II; PRAM-Elective

M53: Enhancing a Culture of Research Integrity at the University of British Columbia Room: Chaudière Content Level: Basic

The integrity of the research enterprise depends on the integrity of researchers. Researchers who “do the right thing” have moral sensitivity, knowledge, skill, commitment, persistence and courage. Some of these attributes can be enhanced through teaching, but many are gained through experience, socialization in a culture of integrity, narrative and inspiration by role models. With the goal of enhancing the integrity of developing researchers, we have implemented a variety of initiatives that touch on these diverse facets. These include several courses and workshops, the intentional embedding of the values of integrity in other graduate student curricula and in faculty workshops, the provision of venues to hear the stories of researchers’ experiences and encounters with ethical dilemmas, and the drafting of a Research Integrity manual. Some of the interventions have spawned secondary and tertiary initiatives to further the culture of integrity. Anecdotal evidence will be presented to demonstrate their effectiveness.

Learning Objectives: 1. Describe ways in which a habit of integrity can be cultivated among developing researchers.

2. Identify materials and tools suitable for adaptation in their own organization for promoting research integrity.

Speakers: Susan Porter, PhD, Dean pro tem, Professional Development Clinical Associate Professor, Faculty of Graduate Studies, and Jacquelyn Brinkman, Education Coordinator, James Hogg Research Centre, University of British Columbia Certificate: PRAM-Elective

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

T1: Emerging Role of Research Administrators Within the Culture of Research, a UK Perspective: Challenges and Solutions Room: Matapédia Content Level: Intermediate

University of Bristol is a Research Intensive University in the UK. The University has a professional research development team who works closely with the Faculty Directors of Research to develop appropriate ways of supporting new research ideas. One of the most challenging areas is to attract academics into working outside of their own disciplines. We have trialed numerous different methodologies to provoke productive discussion and achieve tangible outcomes. We have adopted and adapted mechanisms used by others to be better suited to a University environment (e.g., mini-sandpit events), and also developed novel tactics (e.g., open lab events). This session will discuss the different approaches we have used, with a focus on what works and what doesn’t work for different academic communities. It will also address the key role that the professional research administrator can play.

Learning Objectives: 1. Evaluate various approaches to effectively facilitate interdisciplinary research.

2. Understand and describe the role of research administrators in the research culture.

Speakers: David Langley, PhD, Director of Research and Enterprise and Lorna Colquhoun, PhD, Head of Research Development, University of Bristol Certificate: PRAM-Elective

to the time differences, language barriers, and cultural differences, but also due to the differences in regulations, definitions of tasks at hand, and the differences in policies and procedures and how different countries deal with particular items. Additional difficulties arise from the currency fluctuations, budgeting processes, and the calculation and provision of the overhead.

Learning Objectives: 1. Gather knowledge on various requirements for international collaborations, especially those with institutions in the United Kingdom.

2. Provide commonly encountered problems and tools to resolve those to initiate and complete successful international collaborations.

T9: Copyright and Data Rights Under Government Contracts and Grants Room: Saint-Maurice Content Level: Intermediate

Rights in advanced technology and software are at risk whenever an institution enters into an agreement as a vendor or as a grantee. The federal government gets broad rights in intellectual property developed with even partial government funding, and the rules governing the relationships vary from civilian agencies to the Department of Defense. It is critical that the institution be knowledgeable about what constitutes proprietary intellectual property, who owns the property, the applicable regulations and how to avoid inadvertently abandoning its intellectual property rights. Understanding the potential for a national security rationale to come into play in the government’s approach to controlling rights is increasingly important. The purpose of this focused session is to provide the most practical information possible on issues arising from government funding for development of copyrighted works, including computer software, from the perspective of the government, contractors, grantees, and their professional advisors.

Learning Objectives: 1. Be familiar with the types of data rights contract clauses and the impact of the classification of data on how the rights are allocated and protected.

2. Understand the nature of authorship in the institutional context and how copyrights are licensed or assigned.

Speaker: Marsha Hoover, Senior Counsel, Marshall, Gerstein & Borun, LLP Certificate: RL-II&III

T10: International IP Issues: Canada as an Example Room: Gatineau Content Level: Intermediate While the U.S. economy remains by far the largest in the world, it represents only 20-25% of the total world economy and this percentage is declining as other markets develop. Cost-effective protection of IP and successful commercialization increasingly demands an understanding of intellectual property regimes outside the U.S., especially as common U.S. practices can be fatal to IP rights in other markets.

Canada, a market roughly 10% the size of the U.S., is illustrative of some of the differences that will be encountered in the Commonwealth and many other key markets in both patent and copyright law.

Learning Objectives: 1. Patents: A summary of the key differences between U.S. law and other key jurisdictions, with emphasis on patentable subject matter, ownership issues (Bayh-Dole/rights of funding bodies, first to file instead of first to invent, co-ownership, employer/employee rights) and absolute novelty requirements.

2. Copyrights: A summary of the key differences between U.S. law and other key jurisdictions with emphasis on works subject to copyright, fair use & infringement, ownership issues, and enforcement.

T11: RCR for Research Administrators Room: Duluth Content Level: All Levels Research administrators and research staff members (i.e. coordinators, data management specialists, assistants, etc.) play an important part in promoting the integrity of the research enterprise. Frequently, those in a nonscientific, supporting role encounter ethical decisions in an environment of competing obligations and responsibilities. In order to function effectively and make appropriate ethical decisions, administrators need to be aware of the prevailing rules, regulations and guidelines. It is not enough to just know where a certain policy is posted on the web or sitting in a binder on the shelf. All of those involved in research must abide by a core of ethical principles in order to do their jobs properly and to contribute to the overarching “culture of responsibility.”

Learning Objectives: 1. Raise awareness, in order to be able Identify when situations present ethical dilemmas or conflicts.

2. Reason among possible courses of action and effectively implement the best solution to the problem.

T18: So You Think Your Emergency Preparedness Plan is Adequate Room: Saint-Maurice Content Level: All Levels Research Administrators are not exempt from emergency preparation and recovery planning. Every organization is vulnerable to disasters.

Floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, pandemics, terrorists, riots, fires, hazardous materials incidents and fanatics are potential disasters that can strike any institution at any time. Research Administrators should develop departmental plans that parallel their university preparedness plan. Preparation should encompass alternative methods of communications with their university administrators, researchers and staff. The plan should include accessing contact information, grant information, and personnel information without access to local phone numbers, internal e-mail addresses and office computers. Emergency preparations should also include proactive strategies for returning to work immediately after the disaster, even if the site is inaccessible.

Providing support to staff and researchers is critical to the recovery after a disaster. Planning is the key to success.

Learning Objectives: 1. Analyze current long-term emergency plans to identify weaknesses and evaluate comprehensiveness in order to develop more thorough plans.

2. Identify disaster recovery strategies from resuming business with minimum delay to identifying regulatory, management, educational, and health care issues.

Speakers: Michael Lowell, JD, Senior Associate and Leigh Hansson, JD, Partner, Reed Smith, LLP Certificate: RL-I&IV

T22: Addressing Subject Injury: Informed Consent, Contract Language and the Interplay with Third Party Payers Room: Harricana Content Level: Intermediate

Subject injury language is addressed as a part of the clinical trial agreement and in the informed consent documents. While not the same language, legal concepts must be communicated to others and the essence of the two should be in harmony. Subject injury provisions are also not immune to carve-outs, leading to the challenge of explaining the intricacies of technical legal language such as to those who are often unfamiliar with and are faced with the daunting task of developing an informed consent document understandable at an eighth grade reading level. Insurance coverage and the issues of third party payer billing rules contribute to the complexity. Participants will learn how to provide clear information to research subjects, allowing them to make an informed decision about study participation while identifying who is responsible for what coverage to satisfy the site and sponsor.

Learning Objectives: 1. Review some of the more common subject injury provisions seen in clinical trial agreements.

2. Discuss how these legal, contractual provisions might be meaningfully translated to ultimately provide clear information to research subjects.

Speaker: Debra Parrish, JD, Founder, Parrish Law Offices Certificate: PRAM-Elective

T37: Human Research Protection Program: Beyond the IRB Room: Chaudière Content Level: All Levels Recent experience and best practice in the field of human research protections has indicated that IRB review is not sufficient to ensure adequate protection of the rights and welfare of human participants in research. In order to ensure that the organizations are meeting the ethical principles and regulatory requirements for the protection of human participants, research sites must have a “Human Research Protections Program” (HRPP). An HRPP is a comprehensive and organized system to ensure the protection of human volunteers participating in research. The HRPP clearly delineates the shared responsibilities of all of those involved in human research and includes written policies and procedures, adequate education and training, adequate IRB review, internal study monitoring, overall program assessment and participant education. This session will explain the need for HRPPs and how to implement an HRPP at an organization.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify the difference between an HRPP and an IRB and describe the elements of an effective HRPP. 2. Describe the value of an effective HRPP to an organization.

T47: Merging Interests: Sponsored Offices and Corporate Research Offices Room: Saint-Maurice Content Level: Intermediate

Sponsored Research Offices and Corporate Research Offices are natural allies, although the culture of universities often creates tensions between the two. Recent developments have seen a merging of interests between these offices. These developments have become more obvious during the economic downturn and recovery as business seeks to rationalize activities and demonstrate the value of partnerships. Thus, the natural ties between philanthropic corporate giving to universities and corporate sponsored research have pushed sponsored research offices and corporate research offices to consider ways of working together as well as measuring the impact of their outreach to business partners — in research and in philanthropy. More recently the Network of Academic Corporate Research Officers (formerly National Association of Corporate Research Officers) has initiated a research study on developing and assessing metrics to evaluate their effectiveness and sponsors’ expectations.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

W1: Mentoring as Idealized Influence and Individualized Consideration in Leadership: A Perspective on Ethics and Transformational Leadership Room: Bersimis Content Level: Intermediate-Advanced

Mentoring and ethics are often talked about separately from leadership, but as leaders adopt Transformational Leadership (TL) practices, mentoring can become a key skill in the overall leadership toolbox.

With regard to research ethics, mentoring operates in the dimensions of Idealized Influence and Individualized Consideration of TL where the leader, as role model, acts out his or her ethical framework. In this session, we show participants how to become Transformational Mentors who cut through the cloud of ethical relativism and take a well-grounded leadership stance.

Learning Objectives: 1. Explain why mentoring is a dimension of Transformational Leadership and how mentors are in essence Transformational Leaders.

2. Develop a Transformational Leader/mentoring model and learn how to cut through the cloud of relativism as a stronger leader.

W2: The Role of Sponsored Program Offices in Civic Engagement Room: Harricana Content Level: All Levels The fiscal climate and the needs of community-based programs pose problems for institutions of higher education and the communities they serve. To confront this challenge, sponsored program staff must seize leadership roles as agents of change, work to align institutional resources, and efficiently face these challenges. This session draws from a national survey of American Democracy Project directors for insights from the field. Presenters will explore opportunities for funding civic engagement, community development and human service programs. To be successful, it is essential that proposal developers understand funding trends, organize applications to meet the expectations of funders and needs of the communities, research

This presentation will outline a distinctive way to conduct and document the informed consent process with vulnerable populations that do not speak English and who are given the opportunity to participate in human subject research. Non-English speaking subjects should be given the opportunity to participate in human subject research and language should not be a barrier to the process.

Learning Objectives: 1. Evaluate when they will need to use the consent aide process in their communities.

2. Identify ways to potentially increase subject enrollment of nonEnglish speaking participants by using the consent aide process.

Speakers: Cheryl Forst, Senior Analyst, Carlotta Rodriguez, IRB Director and Kathleen Smith, Senior Research Compliance Analyst, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Certificate: CTRA201-Elective

W4: Utilizing Enterprise Risk Management in a Research Environment Room: Gatineau Content Level: Intermediate

Research institutions face a multitude of risks every day, from exposing protected data or scientific misconduct, to lab safety concerns or natural disasters. These risks are enough to cause sleepless nights for management and administrators. With so many things that could go wrong, it seems like a full-time job just staying up to speed with the daily operations and “fighting fires.” We will share with you the concepts and specific activities that your institution can implement to assess and manage risk related to research operations and how these tools can be used to focus institutional resources for addressing some of your greatest risks.

Learning Objectives: 1. Explore how to apply the concept of “risk” in the context of research operations. Understand the risk assessment process and its practical applications.

2. Become familiar with a process for prioritizing and addressing risks.

Speakers: Raina Rose Tagle, Partner and Ashley Deihr, Manager, Baker Tilly

W5: Clinical Trial Management: Making the Business Case for CTMS Room: Saint-Maurice Content Level: Intermediate Managing the clinical research enterprise, especially billing compliance, requires close coordination and exchange of detailed information among many parties across clinical, research and financial areas.

Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS) can play a key role in enabling the processes required for success, but implementing them can be complex and costly, and they must compete with other projects for approval of the resources needed. One approach to building support for a significant project, especially with financial leadership, is to calculate a Return on Investment (ROI) for the project. This session will discuss some of the key benefits of implementing CTMS and a model that can be adapted to estimate ROI. While no ROI model can perfectly capture the complexities of clinical trials, the discussion of key benefits can be very useful in making decisions about potential projects.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify and articulate key benefits of CTMS implementations and develop a business case for such projects.

2. Calculate ROI for CTMS implementation projects based on institutional data.

Speaker: Matthew Staman, Managing Director, Huron Consulting Group Certificate: FM-Elective; CTRA201-Elective

W6: Managing Advanced Compliance Issues with Sub-contracts Room: Hochelaga 5/6 Content Level: Advanced The increased levels of complexity of sub-contracts require that subcontract operations and sub-recipient monitoring be highly organized and efficient. Furthermore, the federal landscape with regard to sub-recipient compliance is evolving, and it continues to be a focus area for increased scrutiny by federal sponsors and external auditors.

During this session, the speakers will identify advanced compliance issues with sub-contracts and the types of risks that exist in today’s environment. These issues may include conflicts of interest, use of consultants versus sub-contracts, the FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS) and ARRA and A-133 audit focus areas related to sub-contracts. We will discuss best practices for providing oversight to subawards throughout the sponsored project lifecycle, particularly with a risk-based approach. This discussion will also address sub-recipient monitoring for international contracts. With increased collaborations with foreign entities, some institutions are implementing additional sub-recipient procedures for working with these foreign institutions.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify the types of subcontract risks to review within their own institutions. Identify practical solutions for mitigating compliance risks inherent with doing business with subcontractors.

2. Walk away with methods to improve sub-contracting operations and sub-recipient monitoring in order to mitigate compliance risks.

W7: Faculty Consulting: Institutional Policies, Intellectual Property, Private Practice Plans and the Impact of Stanford vs. Roche Room: Mackenzie Content Level: Intermediate-Advanced

This session will focus on how various institutions address faculty consulting agreements. Existing policies at various institutions will be reviewed, including how the agreements are monitored or reviewed.

Some institutions have private practice plans (e.g., medical schools) that address outside work of faculty while other colleges permit “one day a week” outside activities. What if a faculty member signs an agreement that is contrary to the institution’s intellectual property policy or work assignments with the institution? The Harvard School of Public Health is conducting a survey on the institutional oversight of faculty consulting agreements at U.S. medical schools and schools of public health. Information about the status of that study will be discussed as well as the impact of the Stanford vs. Roche litigation on faculty consulting agreements.

Learning Objectives:

W15: All Aboard Comprehensive Budget Construction!

Room: Gatineau Content Level: Basic The speakers will provide budget construction information, but will also incorporate the proposal, pre-award and post-award perspectives of the budget. This session will begin with an overview of the basic purpose of a proposal budget and the guiding cost principles for fiscal responsibility. Common budget line items that guide construction of a budget such as labor, travel, equipment, materials, other direct costs and indirect costs will be reviewed. Issues such as cost share, personnel effort, subcontracts, international collaboration, and limited indirect costs will be addressed from both a budget construction and application standpoint. Examples of solicitation requirements will be provided and discussed to ascertain budget impact.

The session will have participants create a budget using a sample solicitation extract.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identify common components necessary for budget construction while applying basic cost principles.

2. Enhance the level of understanding of the budget information needed from a pre-award to a post-award perspective.

W16: Publication of Research vs. Protection of Sensitive Data and Agreements Room: Saint-Laurent Content Level: All Levels

The attention on financial ties between industry and university researchers has been virtually relentless; the media, Congress, federal funding agencies, professional associations, journal editors, and universities themselves are all scrutinizing researchers’ relationships with corporations. New federal and state laws have emerged, and the Pub-

Universities and other nonprofit institutions push to publish everything and commercial organizations tend to publish nothing.

Extensive negotiations have been conducted over just how long a university had to wait to publish. With commercialization of research becoming the norm, and with the potential for malicious exploitation

of research vastly increased, the question of publication and protection of sensitive data is much more complex. This is particularly true when even the most personal data is commercially valuable. Even more difficult are the issues that surround the proper methods to be used to acquire sensitive data that is not freely published. Large, publicly held companies have been prosecuted for industrial espionage for obtaining information from former employees of their competitors. Other companies openly sell information obtained from the new industry of “data mining.” This session will provide an overview of the present status of the perennial issues surrounding publication versus protection of data.

Learning Objectives: 1. Properly determine when and how to protect the rights of publication.

2. Protect confidentiality and proprietary information when appropriate, using contracts, limits to access, and the law.

Speaker: J. Michael Slocum, JD, President, Slocum & Boddie, PC Certificate: RL-II&III

W17: The Ethical Principle of Justice and Community Participation in Research Room: Mackenzie Content Level: Intermediate Ethical codes across the globe require that research involving human participants adhere to the core principle of “Justice.” Justice requires that burdens and benefits of research are shared equally across multiple populations. This core belief is important, but research groups sometimes find it difficult to manage in the day-to-day operations of a research study. As populations continue to merge throughout the world, it has become increasingly more important to provide access to research opportunities to a diverse population of potential participants outside of the typical academic setting. This session will explore the principle of justice and provide insight as to how to effectively open research opportunities to one’s community.

Learning Objectives: 1. Define the principle of “Justice” in human subjects’ research.

2. Learn strategies to engage the community to increase diversity in research studies.
