Continuous Improvement in a Time of Change

The 2011 Symposium for Research Administrators is sponsored by RACI - the Research Administration Continuous Improvement initiative. RACI continues to support the professionalization and career development activities of Duke University's grant management community through the Symposium and other initiatives.

Participants at the 2011 Symposium for Research Administrators enjoyed a fast paced, highly informative keynote presentation by Dr. Michael Merson, founding Director of the Duke Global Health Institute. The symposium theme, Continuous Improvement in a Time of Change, was reinforced as Dr. Merson engaged participants in the challenges of conducting health-related research from a global perspective. His presentation concluded with a powerful video that reinforced the importance of Duke's rapidly expanding global research initiatives.
