Opening Keynote Speaker Monday, October 24

7:45 AM - 9:15 AM Sheila Rowan

Prof. Sheila Rowan is an experimental physicist and since 2009, Director of the Institute for Gravitational Research in the School of Physics and Astronomy in the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. Prior to that she held positions split between Glasgow and Stanford University in the USA.

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES

The research of her Institute is focused on developments relevant to the international

network of gravitational wave detectors and in particular has been an international partner in upgrades to the US LIGO observatories, carried out between 2010 and 2015. This research contributed to one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of this century: the first detection of gravitational waves, announced in February 2016 in the 100th anniversary year of their prediction by Albert Einstein. This discovery has opened up an entirely new field in physical science that of gravitational

astronomy enabling the study of black holes and other exotic phenomena far out in our Universe. For further information on gravitational waves and Sheila's interview with BBC's Newsnight, see here. Sheila's personal research is targeted at developing optical materials for use in gravitational wave detectors along with broader applications in precision measurement science. She was awarded a Leverhulme Prize for Astronomy and Astrophysics in 2005, appointed to Fellowship of the UK Institute of Physics in 2006, elected to Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2008, was the recipient of a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award in 2010 and awarded Fellowship of the American Physical Society in 2012. Sheila was made an MBE for services to science in the Queen's Birthday Honours list in 2011. In 2014 she was selected as their annual Women in Physics Lecturer by the Australian Institute of Physics. She is currently (since June 2016) seconded part-time to the post of Chief Scientific Adviser to the Scottish Government.

Closing Plenary Speaker Wednesday, October 26

7:45 AM - 9:15 AM Shayla Rivera

Shayla Rivera is an Aerospace Engineer and former Rocket Scientist with NASA turned salesperson, corporate trainer and now Keynote Speaker, TV Host, Emcee/Host, Humorist, Comedian, Actor, Writer, Producer, Seminar Facilitator and Panel Moderator. And more is on the way. However, none of these labels tells you much about her. She best describes herself as a spiritually irreverent Mystic and Awareness Expert. What many would call a Renaissance Woman. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Rivera grew up with an avid interest in human behavior, science, machinery and fixing things. Rivera attended Texas A&M University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering with a

great number of additional credits in her other passion, Psychology. After graduation she joined McDonnell Douglas Space Systems at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, where she worked on the NASA Space Shuttle and Space Station programs for eight years.

Shayla is not easily placed in just one category or class, she defines her own. She finally remarks, “Now I even can add Breast Cancer Survivor to my resume. I am grateful.” To read Shayla's full bio, see here.

THIS IS LIFE AND IT IS GOOD (Life = People, Circumstances, Things) Learning how to check and change our perspectives so that we can more effectively deal with difficult personalities and unrealistic workloads, while trying to keep everything else

afloat… are you Kidding! The most popular advice for dealing with toxic people whether at work or at home is to leave, to remove yourself or them from the situation. However, even though sometimes that might be what it comes to, this advice is not usually the most realistic or reasonable approach. Especially when, if applied, it could mean the end of a job or of an important relationship. Shayla’s approach has more to do with making the changes we can make ourselves, in order to be effective when stuck dealing with a toxic personality. These changes have to do with checking and altering perspectives, setting boundaries for ourselves and for them and finally and most importantly, moving and/or hiding the buttons and the lines which these people consistently push and cross. Sometimes the best option is not to physically remove ourselves from the situation but to remove ourselves emotionally. And yes, this can be done however, some of us would rather be right than correct and many more of us would much rather get even than prosper. The best way is to make sure that we are neither one of these people.

SRAI CertiďŹ cate Information About Research Law (RL)

The "theory of everything" (TOE) is a hypothetical theory studied in theoretical physics that is intended to fully explain and link together all known physical phenomena. The Research Law certificate is similar to TOE in that it attempts to explain and link together all known issues of research administration. Legal issues arise throughout research, starting with intellectual property issues, continuing through contract and grant matters, and living on in post research licensing, "derivative works disputes," and post-clinical trial liability questions. The Research Law certificate is for both new research administrators who need a basic approach for recognizing the legal issues that they will face daily and for the more experienced administrator who works with general counsel and outside attorneys on a daily basis. Because there are so many legal issues in research, the curriculum is very broad and constantly changing to address new issues confronting scientists, research administrators and their attorneys. The required workshop for this certificate is WS13: Introduction to Research Law. One (1) workshop and five (5) concurrent sessions (must take one (1) session within each of the four (4) required categories; one (1) elective in any category)

M101: Coping with Disruptive Change: A Pre-award and Post-award Perspective

The field of Research Administration is ever changing. Some changes are gradual and others are more disruptive. Do you know which is which and how to cope with both? This session will help you identify your change style - what you can handle and what causes you more stress - as well as the change styles of your coworkers.

M102: If I Knew Then What I Know Now: Changing Jobs

Job changes bring personal and professional growth—and surprises, both good and bad! Job candidates can learn only so much during an interview while everyone is on their best behavior and trying to make the most favorable impression. Once hired there is often the “honeymoon period” early in the job, and then reality sets in. Come discuss the surprises that might await, how to prepare for and navigate the unknown, and lessons learned from recent experiences.

M103: Build Research Administration Capacity While Having Fun

Are you ready to forever change the culture and communication between the central sponsored programs and the departmental/ college research administrator’s offices? If so, then this is the session for you. Join us as we share a proven methodology that has worked at three educational institutions. We are all faced with daily challenges to meet deadlines and assist faculty with proposal submissions. The central sponsored programs offices and the department/college units have similar challenges however, there are often competing priorities and different roles and responsibilities. Frequently, these offices do not see eye-to-eye and this can contribute to research administration dysfunction. In this session, the speakers will discuss a proven format that bridges the communication gap and competing priorities while ensuring that everyone stays connected working towards one common goal. The best part is that attendees will accomplish the goal of building research administration capacity and have FUN in the process!

M104: Crowd Funding Next Steps, Expert Advice and a Case Study!

Research Managers and Administrators have an important role to play in supporting academic colleagues in attracting crowdfunding in a rapidly growing and developing marketplace. However this is a potentially complex field and many institutions will not have considered the practical and policy implications of attracting such funding. The panel of experts discuss various platforms, techniques, policy and a case study. A “new university” student enterprise perspective will be discussed as well as a medium sized research intensive university's approach to supporting the emerging crowdfunding agenda and opportunities from potential research funding angles from both principal investigator (PI) and as well as a student enterprise dimension. The conversation is supported by examples of university tagged projects launched on five crowd funding websites including Kickstarter to demonstrate the range of funding “asks” that may or may not be sanctioned or known to the institution.

M107: Strategies for Success: Managing Faculty Compensation and Funding Streams

From inception to close-out, it is a long and arduous process for the Research and/or the Department Administrator to watch closely their Researcher's/ Faculty's funding sources. With many grants ending before new ones begin, an Administrator must sometimes become "creative" to keep their Faculty getting regularly paid. Administrators must demonstrate additional resourcefulness for expenses other than personnel services, especially when funding sources are in a "use or lose" situation. Where do you find these "bridging funds"? When should an Administrator use them? How are Faculty paid at your Institution? This presentation will help Administrators decide when to make salary cost transfers and from which sources they should use (State, grant, DRIF, Foundation/ Benefactor, Clinical revenue sources, etc.). This presentation will also demonstrate the importance of taking a "big picture" approach when using various sources for purchasing, effort report monitoring and how effort reporting and faculty funding are directly related.

Monday Concurrent Session Descriptions - 11:15 AM - 12:30 PM M206: Clinical Trials Administration: Raising the Hood and Getting to Work

Administration of resources to conduct clinical trials safely, compliantly, feasibly and efficiently can be a daunting task if you don't know where to start. With a renewed interest in industry partnerships, smaller academic health centers new to these relationships have an idea how different parts (finance, HR, compliance, legal, sponsored programs) work individually - buthow do they work together specific to clinical trials? As a department level administrator, how "in the weeds" do you get to ensure that the faculty who wish to conduct them have all the resources they need without breaking the bank? Why is that contract taking so long anyway and why has the IRB approved our application? Standard of Care? Why does the patient service rep need to know that? Why is everyone looking at me? This presentation provides discussion and an example of how one group of administrators were able to connect the moving pieces of clinical, fiscal and administrative aspects through analysis of existing data, stakeholder input and good old fashioned elbow grease. The resulting connected overview has helped administrators understand the challenges, vet and implement work flow process changes and explained how the pieces fit together to various stakeholders throughout the university who seek to understand the big picture.

M303: Benchmarking in Research Administration Offices (RAO) and Appropriate Metrics

Benchmarking allows us to improve our service delivery by emulating best practice. There is currently a push to collect metrics on almost everything related to research activity. This level of data capture is in essence directed at research intensive Universities for them to better manage their academic workforce, plan for future investments, prepare for mandatory returns such as REF2020 (UK) and benchmark against other like Institutions both nationally and internationally. However, not all Universities are research intensive but all Universities do research, have pockets of research excellence within them and need to capture appropriate metrics without the additional expense of dedicated staff, systems and software. This session will explore the use of benchmarking and metrics captured and carried out locally that can be used in a RAO to improve the quality and level of service delivery of that office to its main stakeholders. Capturing appropriate metrics for our academic colleagues that actually support them in their research as opposed to ranking them. Controversially in the current climate it is my contention that this can be done without having to invest in new software, systems or having to join a grouping. In this session attendees will learn the various approaches for benchmarking their own RAOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and novel approaches to benchmarking their main stakeholders. You will also discover the basic metrics that can be captured and used to improve service delivery of your RAO.

Speakers: Marianne Hassan, Chief of Staff, Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi

Speakers: Tonya Edvalson, Regulatory Coordinator II, Intermountain Healthcare, Murray, UT

Research has become a global endeavor. Many US based initiatives involve collaborations with overseas universities and organizations. However, most departmental and central research administrators are not familiar with the international collaborator or his/her organization and their operational requirements. Likewise, foreign organizations do not understand US policies and compliance programs. As a result, research agreement negotiations often take a long time to close the deal. Mutual understanding of both partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basic operating frameworks is a critical key to a successful conclusion. This session will provide insights from work experience on both sides of the negotiating table that will help bridge the gap between US research administrators and foreign institutional representatives.

Five days of valuable, relevant, invigorating professional development, education and networking.

Good Clinical Practices (GCP) is a set of international standards that are applied to clinical research that impact the day-to-day operations of a project. These standards of documentation are necessary to ensure that data are collected and reported appropriately to meet rigorous criteria for clinical trials. Following them can impact the flow of studies and operations. This session will discuss the implications of GCP and help research administrators understand how they impact the overall study conduct. The speakers will review the basic requirements of GCP and the importance of maintaining the essential documents of clinical research. Identifying ways to successfully meet these practices will provide institutions and facilities with the tools necessary to meet strict expectations of the Food and Drug Administration.

Monday Concurrent Session Descriptions - 3:45 PM - 5:00 PM M401: Starting a Revolution: Millennials Advancing in Research Administration

It is no surprise that millennials are in the workforce at high numbers but what is surprising is how Millennials are being defined by certain stereotypes making it harder to be successful in nontraditional career paths, such as Research Administration. Certain studies have depicted Millennials as self-centered, unmotivated, disrespectful, and disloyal, contributing to widespread concern about how communication with Millennials will affect organizations. Throughout the presentation, on-the-spot surveying, rapid Q & A and in-depth discussions on the different obstacles millennials are facing will allow for sharing of ideas and identify ways in which our generation can benefit from uniting instead of being divided by characteristics inscribed on us in order to support advancement in Research Administration. This presentation will also provide attendees with a set of best practices for both working with millennials in the workplace as well as practices for millennials overcoming the generational gap in their own organization.

M402: Professionalization of Research Management: Impact on Careers of Research Administrators

It is acknowledged that the routes towards a career in Research Management can have several origins, including diverse skills and academic qualifications. These differences are a potential source of misconceptions about the identity and roles of Research Managers and Administrators (RMAs). Professionalization of Research Management may minimize the misconceptions, provide a clearer identity for RMAs and offer new opportunities for building trust. However, it may also bring new challenges for those who opt for a career in Research Management. These may include new demands, higher expectations and pressures on RMAs that may impact their careers and lifestyles, possibly in the form of compromises and personal sacrifices. This session aims to explore the possible implications of Professionalization on the careers and lifestyles of RMAs and to evaluate whether and in what manner these implications and the contextual realities are in turn shaping the Research Management Profession and the roles of RMAs. Session Track: Professional Development Speakers: Christian Bonnici, Deputy Director - Externally Funded Projects, University of Malta, Msida

M406: The Role of Research Administration in Data Driven Analytics During the accreditation process, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education asks colleges and universities “Is the institution fulfilling its mission and achieving its goals?” The answer to this question lies within both academic and administrative units campuswide. Goals must be related to the institution’s overall strategic plan and must be measurable. Sponsored Programs offices are no exception to this process and many research administrators are now being asked to present their yearly objectives in a strictly quantifiable manner. This is a change for many, and impacts everything from staff evaluations to application and award projections. This interactive session, for those who have and will go through this process, will provide useful tips for successfully meeting institutional needs.

M409: Competing for Contracts Under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) (The first in a series on Contracts under the FAR for research institutions)

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) is over 32 thousand pages long (including all supplements and related regulations). NO one program can begin to cover the myriad of topics covered in these dense and jargon-filled pages, but this program provides a beginning entry into the process of competing for and winning contracts from the federal government for RESEARCH and related activities. Concentrating on the initial sections of the FAR (those that are primarily concerned with how organizations compete for and are awarded new contracts), this program is the first in a series that will give both the new research administrator and the person experienced in government contracting for research new insights into the arcane government system for soliciting and awarding research contracts. This program is not intended to “survey” the entire contracting and procurement process used by the federal government, but to cover the basics of how the government solicits and awards contracts and the steps that the research institution needs to take to successfully compete for such contracts.

M411: What’s New at the NIH? Requirements to Address Rigor and Reproducibility in Grant Applications

An ongoing federal initiative has focused new attention on the need to better address rigor and reproducibility in research. This heightened awareness of problems identified in the quality (rigor) with which some published studies have been completed as well as the lack of transparency in reporting some study outcomes has resulted in new measures to ensure the reproducibility of important study findings and ultimately the validity of the findings. This session focuses on new proposal requirements on the part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to address key features of rigorous, unbiased research in grant applications. The speaker will also outline key revisions to peer review criteria impacted by these changes, discuss upcoming training requirements and share insights on available resources that are emerging to address these requirements.

T102: The Importance and Conduct of Scholarly Writing as Research Administrators

Scholarly activity is a hallmark objective and practice in academia. While this activity is usually considered one exclusive to faculty, research administrators can and should publish scholarly work to contribute to the innovation and understanding of the field of research administration. The Journal of Research Administration (JRA) is the premier academic, peer-reviewed publication in the field of research administration and management. Published twice a year by SRA International, JRA articles are dedicated to the education and the professional development of research administrators. The Journal publishes articles covering the changing research environment worldwide, focusing on quality and innovation in research administration. JRA is a critically important resource for your growth, for the enrichment of the body of knowledge of research administration, and for the advancement of the art and science of the profession and its allied disciplines. This session will focus on teaching participants the importance of scholarly writing and it will provide a â&#x20AC;&#x153;how toâ&#x20AC;? for participants to understand how to contribute to JRA by sharing their knowledge and experience through a publication in the Journal.

T106: Dynamic Research Administration Reporting: Going from PDF Files to a Dynamic Interactive Data Portal Using a Decision Support Model

The offices of research at the University of Kentucky recently created a new role to enable leadership to have real-time access to grant and contract data for decision-making, strategic planning and to support grant proposal activity. Currently, the Office of Sponsored Project Administration maintains grant award data in a home-grown, home-built data system. As a result, the reporting mechanisms are limited and campus-wide reporting is difficult. The presenters will walk through the process of building a dynamic data infrastructure using decision support methodology, dashboards and interactive reports to assist leadership to have real-time access to grant and contract award/expenditure data. Creating a longitudinal trend of funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) no longer requires combining multiple monthly PDF reports. All you need are filters and with a click of a button you have your trend. The second part of this presentation asks attendees to brainstorm best practices for reporting research data and what type of data analysis is important on individual campuses, including specific metrics for research administration.

T107: On The Same Page: Project Initiation Meetings

Does your institution provide limited administrative support to Principal Investigators (PI) and require them to have a more active role in project management? The Rochester Institute of Technology has instituted a Project Initiation Meeting (PIM) in order to ensure all parties start on the same page. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the terms and conditions; compliance and reporting requirements; roles and responsibilities (PI, Research Office, Accounting/Finance staff, etc.); University related policies, procedures and compliance issues; and changes to the project since submission (project dates, personnel, budgeted rates, etc.). PIM attendees receive a Terms and Conditions Summary document which summarizes a variety of information including applicable general and specific award conditions and important dates. PI signature is required to acknowledge their understanding and acceptance of the project requirements. This session will discuss the genesis of, continued evolution, usefulness, and importance of this university-wide tool in assisting with project management and compliance.

T108: Fund Management: The Essentials and Its Success Fund Management is an essential responsibility during grant life cycle, from the activation to the close of the fund account. We all know that it can be very difficult and time consuming managing large portfolios, but this presentation will help you see the light. This is about categorizing and prioritizing as well as tracking progress efficiently and effectively. By using a base categorization system, funds that are at risk will be corrected and funds that will be at risk will be noticed. This is just a start to the fund management experience. This session is designed to spur the imagination by starting with the basics and then to help connect the dots with the balance sheet. The ultimate goal is to catch the risk before it happens and this has proven to do that and more.

T112: NPRM, Central IRB Review and Beyond: Preparing for Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Next in Human Subjects Protection

Certificate: FM-E / IRAM-IV Session Track: Financial and Post-award Administration

Remember the double message emboldened into the old adage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may you live in interesting times? For the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) community, these are indeed interesting times given the possible, if not probable, introduction of a new Common Rule, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandate for central Institutional Review Board (IRB) review and the adoption of greater and greater flexibility in the implementation of HRPP policies and procedures. Over the next 18 months or so, the HRPP community will most likely experience significant shifts in the landscape for human subjects protection. This session aims to discuss both the changing landscape HRPPs face and how HRPPs are anticipating and adapting to these changes, focusing in on changing policies, procedures and processes. Panelists will discuss how their institutions are responding to this changing landscape.

T204: An Action Plan for Reducing Your Institution's Administrative Burdens Footprint

The National Research Council’s special Committee on Federal Research Regulations and Reporting Requirements: A New Framework for Research Universities in the 21st Century will have released its report on reducing administrative burdens entitled in early 2016. Its preliminary report urged both the federal agencies and award recipients in its recommendations to take specific actions toward reducing administrative burdens associated with federally funded research. This committee has sought to address the root causes that have been identified in studies on this topic conducted by multiple organizations which illustrated how the stark increases in federal regulations and institutional implementations have exacerbated the situations for researchers and dramatically increased the administrative costs being borne by institutions since the cap on administrative costs was imposed in the early 1990s. This session will suggest specific actions that federally funded institutions might consider to ensure their administrative burdens footprint is minimized.

T208: Internal & External Audit - What are We Seeing Today?

Research funding from sponsors requires all recipients to follow regulations, guidelines, sponsor rules and best practices. With these rules come audit findings from (historically) A-133 audits, direct cost audits, and sponsor priority areas for compliance reviews. In addition, research organizations are more often turning to their internal audit team to proactively review key risk areas. This session will discuss how to prepare for these respective audits, the audit methodology and how it differs between audit types, recent audit findings and corrective actions, and targeted areas where an organization can leverage internal audit. The speakers will also provide an opportunity for attendees to bring their own examples and questions relating to audits on our campuses. The session will be interactive and discussion is encouraged to provide guidance to all attendees.

T209: Optimize Negotiation of Clinical Trial Agreements-Accelerated Clinical Trial Agreement

Tired of spending so much time and effort negotiating clinical trial agreements? Join us for the Accelerated Clinical Trials Agreement (ACTA) session to discover a rapidly growing initiative that can eliminate the need for negotiation of Industry Sponsored, Clinical Trial Agreements (CTAs) as well as a newly developed CTA for federal subcontracts. Commencing in August 2012, the Master Contracts Working Group consisted of 25 CTSA institutions collaborated with industry and the University Industry Demonstration Partnership to develop a standardized clinical trial agreement - a single agreement to be used (voluntarily) by each participating institution and sponsor, to reduce contract negotiations for industry sponsored multi-site studies Clinical Trials. The ACTA has been finalized with over 275 Institutions agreeing that the ACTA terms would be acceptable to their institution. The Federal Subcontracting CTA agreement has just been finalized and is about to begin rollout.

T210: Security and Tech Transfer Issues: A New Ballgame?

New cybersecurity requirements from NIST and DOD have substantial compliance implications for universities. Also completion of the Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s export control reform initiative has resulted in new control regimes while purporting to harmonize the regulations. What are the implications for your university? What strategies and resources are necessary to cope with the new requirements? How is your university coping? The tech transfer function at universities continues to evolve. Recent government initiatives have had a dual effect: In some cases they have decreased university rights in IP while increasing government control, while at the same time the government has been pushing for greater public access and open sourcing for research results. What does this mean for the existing tech transfer model based on the Bayh-Dole Act? What negotiating strategies are best? How can we also deal with IP issues in the growing activities with private foundations as well as issues such as F&A and indemnification?

Speakers: Debra Schaller-Demers, Director, Research Outreach and Compliance, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY

Speaker(s): Debbie Rafi, Director, University Business Affairs, Office of Naval Research, Arlington, VA

This session will explore how research managers/administrators can help give guidance when authorship issues arise and when researchers run into difficulty dealing with journal issues; such as avoiding plagiarism mistakes and duplicative publication, refusing ghostwriting and speaker bureau assignments, declaring Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) in publications, citing proper funding and knowing when and how to publish in Public/Open Access (including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) PubMedCentral and the National Science Foundation (NSF) requirements).

........................................................................................

This session is designed for recipients (foreign and domestic universities) of research funding from the Department of Defense (DoD). The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will provide updates on research administration policies and procedures impacting recipients of DoD research funding, such as the impact of OMB's new grant guidance (2 CFR 200) on DoD's grant regulations, DoD's recent implementation of the Research Performance Progress Report, and other project that ONR has been involved with such as the FDP Project Certification Pilot.

T212: Collaborative Research and the Role of the Scientist in Society

A variety of collaborative relationships in research amongst academia, industry, government and society result in different roles for the researcher. Whether viewed as a "discoverer of new knowledge”, an “independent authority”, or a “deliverer of tangible goods”, researchers often face conflicting agendas while striving to ensure scientific objectivity and ethical decision-making in their work. Research Administrators can become more effective and productive in their work and interactions with researchers by better understanding these differing roles and dynamics. Further a working knowledge of collaborative science is a key component of any comprehensive responsible conduct of research (RCR) training program required by several federal funding agencies. This presentation will discuss some of the conflicting agendas, different roles of researchers, how the practice of science is affected and how the training of new researchers and staff members are impacted.

T213: A U-What? The ABCs of federally funded research centers and the unique challenges posed by a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC)

University affiliated research centers (UARCs) are unique contract vehicles that can bring its own set of complications for the research administrator. UARC's are organizations affiliated with universities or colleges that are established by the Department of Defense (DoD) to maintain essential research, develop "core" capabilities; maintain longterm strategic relationships with their DoD sponsors; and operate in the public interest, free from real or perceived conflicts of interest. The University of Maryland's Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) is one of fifteen UARCs across the nation and the only national resource dedicated to addressing the language needs of the government. As employees of CASL, the speakers will introduce people to this unique research center and explore how they, as research administrators, function and experience a different kind of academic department. This case study will explore the beginnings and evolution of CASL and how our functions as research administrators developed.

T302: Improve Communication for a Better Post-award Management Process

Communication can be the difference between a productive process and a laborious one. Often times, communication can be a sticking point to make the post-award process as productive as possible. This is caused by differences in the background of administrators and researchers, lack of understanding or education and differences in the perceived importance of the post-award process. Effective communication in the post-award process can build trust and improve the management process. This session will describe the best practices for communication with faculty and other research team members and provide models for reporting. Special attention will be on providing solution to better communication and leadership development.

T303: Using Sponsored Programs Offices to Support Sponsored Funding Goals

As research programs become more complex and competition for funding increases, all institutions are exploring unique ways to respond to this rapidly-changing environment. Originally the “gatekeeper” for sponsored funding compliance, sponsored program offices are becoming partners in supporting institutional research priorities. This panel session will explore different ways that research organizations are using sponsored programs offices to facilitate funding goals in this new funding landscape. In this highly interactive session, the panelists will discuss how administrators act as “translators” to advance sponsored funding goals and the research administrator’s role in furthering the institution’s research agenda. The session will discuss in depth ways that institutions are using sponsored programs to help grow sponsored funding. Finally, the panelists will discuss methodologies for measuring the efficacy of these programs. Throughout, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities they have encountered while implementing new strategies for supporting institutional funding goals.

T304: Grant Writing for Success and Understanding National Institutes of Health (NIH) Peer Review

Administrators who assist faculty with the development of a proposal understand the nuts and bolts of proposal assembly and successful submission. But what about the contents of the proposal? Faculty with good grant writing skills who understand the Peer Review process stand a much better chance of receiving funding. However, new and inexperienced investigators often lack an understanding of the proposal review process. By becoming familiar with terms such as "percentile", "spreading the score", "pink sheet" and "triage", you can become an even more valuable partner to your faculty. Take your proposal development skills to the next level and learn the basics of grant writing and National Institutes of Health Peer Review.

Typically the training for CRNCs is preceptor-based and maybe inconsistent across institutions due to a variety of factors including time constraints of the preceptor. Using training grant support from Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN), a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded research network and a massive open online course (MOOC) platform from Udemy, Inc., the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) created an online training program for its CRNCs. It was later made available to the entire CCTRN CRNCs. MOOC promises to be efficient, cost-effective and provide uniform platform to orient and train CRNCs that work at different sites of a research network. This platform can be adapted for training in clinical research networks, be customized to disease-specific training core and could be used across different research departments of health systems.

W103: Using Philanthropy to Support Research

Certificate: LD-E Session Track: Professional Development

Certificate: PRAM-III Session Track: Sponsored Programs Planning, Development and Deliveries

Sponsored programs offices frequently hire people with limited or no experience in research administration. This doesn’t mean however, that new employees come without any transferable or valuable skill-sets that can benefit the research administration enterprise. It is critical that new employees have a solid foundation and positive training experience however, it is of equal importance that new employees have opportunities to contribute as well. While mentoring is typically thought of in a traditional sense whereby a person of superior rank guides, and directs a less experienced person a newer model known as “co-mentoring” has been developed. In this model, each person contributes to the development of the other in a reciprocal manner. This model allows the new employee, the manager and the faculty researchers to learn from one another, thereby developing stronger networks and infrastructure to support research within an institution.

W105: Hiring and Training Entry Level Staff: What Planet is This?

Entry-level staff face a new world of regulations, acronyms, customer service and technology. How can we hire the best person when there is little related experience in their background? What indicators of success can we focus on during application review and the interview process? How do we go about training someone with no familiarity with the role and content of research administration? Focus will be on the pre-award administrator, but the principals discussed will apply to all research administration roles.

W109: Research Misconduct: A Year in Review

Session Track: Management and Operations

Certificate: IRAM-E / RI-I / PRAM-V / RL-I, IV Session Track: Research Law

Red rules are mandatory, driven by regulations. Blue rules involve self-imposed policies and procedures. Red and blue rules and institutional flexibility, combine to define an institution’s research compliance environment. The existence of both and the element of choice, defines an institutional research compliance environment. The speakers will explore how the red, blue and choice come to play in interpreting the Uniform Guidance.

W107: Capitated Budgets: Post-award Financial Management of Fixed-price Clinical Contracts

How does managing a fixed-price clinical trial contract differ from a cost reimbursable grant? Even for financial administrators experienced in post-award grant management, capitated budgets may present a challenge. Fixed-price contracts may require a shift in one's perception of and established standards for effort allocation, project periods, budgetary line items, billing procedures and reconciliation processes. The concepts of flexible budgets, amendable budgets, milestone reimbursements, negotiation with sponsors, flat fees, competitive enrollment, charges vs. costs become a new reality. Recent years show that even the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding is gradually shifting to capitated reimbursement structure for clinical research proposals. In this session participants will utilize sample clinical trial contracts and financial tools to address the differences between fixed-price and cost-reimbursable projects as well as the post-award challenges and the benefits of capitated contracts.

W110: Shared Services for Research Administration-Design, Implementation and Lessons Learned

The changing nature of research administration has motivated institutions to evaluate the models used to provide service to faculty while managing costs. Many know these new models as shared service centers for Pre and Post Award activities. Presidents, VP’s, and CFOs have moved forward to implement this new way of business on our campuses. These new organizations strive to raise the level of service for PI’s, increase compliance, mitigate risk and reduce costs. This session will review how new models were designed and implemented at two institutions, provide the challenges and successes during the transition, and provide an opportunity to have a discussion about all aspects of these new models including how to evaluate the needs of your institution. Session Track: Management and Operations Speakers: Joanne Bentley, Director, Faculty Research Management Services, Yale University, New Haven, CT; Laura Kozma, Director, Research Administration and Faculty Services, University of Connecticut, Storrs

W111: Keeping up With ClinicalTrials.gov: A Systematic Approach in Maintaining Compliance

Are your clinical trials falling behind in reporting results at ClinicalTrials.gov? If so, there are ways to train and educate your research staff on maintaining compliance. Understanding the efficacy of medical intervention represents ethically what the Belmont Report and Declaration of Helsinki speaks to in regards to keeping the results publicly available. Analysis of the data supports the basic principles of evidence based practice and is the foundation of guiding the public in making rational decisions about their care. This session will review the rational of study registration and data reporting, and recommend steps on how to evaluate where your investigators stand with keeping up with their results reporting and how to resolve the issues. The new updates and information from the recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) ClinicalTrials.gov Train-the-Trainer Workshop will be shared in this presentation, including the latest tools and checklist to enhance your result reporting.

Wednesday Concurrent Session Descriptions - 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM W112: Research Ethics: Informed Consent and Participant Protection

Informed consent and participant protection are guided by ethical principles and federal regulations. These have stemmed from violations of human rights in past research settings such as Nazi war prisoner camps, the Public Health Service (PHS) Tuskegee Syphilis study, and mental health facilities. There were also drugs released with unknown impacts on fetal wellbeing such as the use of thalidomide in pregnancy. All of these incidents led to the belief that informed consent and protection of humans in research is paramount during research and development of drugs and devices. We will review these cases as well as the basic ethical principles and federal regulations that guide research today. Research administrators can understand these principles in a way that will better assist them in developing proposals and understanding the conduct of studies once they are underway. This will assist with budgeting, staffing and the overall compliance of research studies at their institutions and facilities.

W202: The Power in Diversity: Perspectives From Scientists in Research Administration

In today's complex research environments, there is tremendous value in accessing diverse skill sets, knowledge and experience. There are several pools of talented, educated people that are often not recognized as candidates for careers in research administration. Examples include those who are unaware of their potential value in different roles and often include graduate students or postdoctoral fellows working at the bench. We have found that these individuals are often looking to change career paths and can benefit from transitioning into the research administration field. Moreover, research administration in both the hospital and university settings can benefit from the diverse skills and knowledge these professionals have to offer. This session will focus on raising awareness and education in the recruitment of talented, non-traditional candidates, and how both sides can benefit from this collaborative new partnership to help clinical research flourish in their respective organizations. Certificate: LD-V Session Track: Professional Development Speakers: Laura Dixon, Grant and Contract Specialist, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, OH; Elizabeth Liu, Clinical Research Regulatory Specialist- FDA Guidance Core (CTSC), University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, OH; Philip Cola, Vice President, Research and Technology, University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, OH

W204: Developing Research Capacity in Principal Investigators

Competition for grants has greatly intensified in recent years, causing universities and research organizations to seek methods and best practices to increase grant success. Especially for new investigators, it is important to develop both research capacity and grant readiness, which are not the same. This session will present strategies and solutions to increase grant success for individual investigators, including analysis of sample tools and examples, with active brainstorming and sharing of best practices from the participants. Examples of strategies include incentives, mentoring, partnering, targeted workshops, PI Boot Camps, PI Academies, individual strategic plans for research, and tools to assess investigator readiness for grants. This session will also preset some institutional practices that provide a robust research development infrastructure to support and complement individual investigator efforts to pursue grants. This session will be valuable for research administrators and proposal developers from all types of institutions.

W205: Research Administration Operational Transformation: People, Process and Technology

Research administration is complex and requires coordination, communication and cooperation among multiple departments. Improving the research administration workflows and reducing cycle times remains a top priority among research organizations. The opportunity to transform people, process and technology throughout research administration enables efficiencies that can improve turn-around and reduce redundancies. The process for research administration operational transformation: 1) Assessing the current processes and developing a gap analysis. 2) Identifying appropriate stakeholders. 3) Process mapping a future operational model. 4) Developing an implementation roadmap. This session describes research administration operational transformation. Reviewing organizational capabilities and streamlining multiple systems and workflows throughout research administration expedites performance. Identifying key stakeholders fosters champions for change and eliminates roadblocks for implementation success. Building a detailed roadmap for implementation to include milestones provides organizations with transformation success. This step-by-step session analyzes processes for effective transformation of research administration to include people, process and technology.

W208: Understanding & Resolving the Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Allegations of Waste, Fraud and Abuse

The Division of Program Integrity (DPI) is responsible for reviewing noncriminal allegations of fraud, waste and abuse, the mismanagement of grant and contract programs and issues referred to them by the Office of Inspector General (OIG). DPI reviews are an important component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) oversight of internal and external programs and operations that identify and help prevent the misuse of government funds. DPI hopes to educate grantees on how to avoid pitfalls when applying for and receiving federal funding and to provide them with a better understanding of the process for reviewing allegations. DPI serves as the NIH liaison with OIG and other law enforcement organizations. The OIG works hand-in-hand with DPI to recognize and apply the applicable consequences when fraud, waste and abuse has occurred. Through this partnership, millions of dollars of government funds have been recovered and put to appropriate use.

W211: Navigating "I"cy Currents of Research Compliance

Professionals working in research compliance often work with faculty and students to navigate the processes of compliance for the Institutional Review Board (IRB), Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), and Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) when proposing, conducting, and implementing research. At times, these professionals work within a "research office" (e.g. Office of Sponsored Research) where staff often work hand in hand to assist faculty and students. Alternatively, some institutions are set up where compliance is its own entity, often relying upon lines of communication (email, electronic research administration, etc.) to share information. However, the speakers' experience shows there needs to be more than an electronic process to communicate with fellow research administrators on navigating compliance to better serve our researchers.

With a strong focus on intuitive userexperience, Front-end design, smart and nimble back-end architecture, and a zero-frustration support policy, Novelution helps our partners save valuable time and enhances the daily experience for administrators and research teams.
