Research Administration 101 begins September 12
September 12 to November 14, 2007
Wednesdays, 2:30-4:30pm
Apollo Room, Nichols Hall, West Campus
Research Administration 101 (RA101) is a certificate program offered by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies to members of the KU community engaged in the administration of externally-sponsored projects. Each fall, the program is offered in a class format consisting of 10, weekly, two-hour sessions taught by a variety of in-house experts from the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, as well as invited guests from the broader KU community.
The course is intended to provide participants with an overview of what sponsored projects are, how they are administered at KU, and who bears responsibility for seeing that they are administered responsibly. Many of the topics addressed are relevant to all sponsored projects, including research, educational service agreements, training grants, and public service projects. Some topics will be relevant to any research activity, regardless of whether or not it is externally funded.
RA101 materials are distributed through Blackboard courseware. Topics and downloadable handouts from the fall 2006 course are available on the web at http://www.rcr.ku.edu/ra_101/ra_101.shtml
To register for the fall 2007 course, please contact Susan MacNally, Compliance Coordinator, Research Integrity, sumac@ku.edu. Please provide your name, department affiliation, e-mail, and phone number in the message.

NIH extends pilot effort for new investigators
As part of the National Institutes of Health's continuing commitment to new investigators, a pilot effort was begun in 2006 to allow new investigators to have the option of submitting a resubmission/amended R01 application for consecutive review cycles, saving four months. Beginning with the September/October 2007 Study Section meetings, the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) is extending this to all new investigator R01 applications submitted for standard receipt dates (this does not include submissions for RFAs and PARs with special dates). The CSR recurring study sections that review new investigator R01 applications will meet on a schedule to allow consecutive cycle resubmissions.
