NCURA Webinar and Group Discussion: Navigating "It depends..."
May 19, 2021 | 9:00 am to 10:00 am | CE: 2.5 Hours
CE Category - Professional Conferences & Workshops
Everyone loves flexibility, nuance, and individuality until it comes time to make a decision. Research administrators spend a lot of time navigating the gray, interpreting vague regulations, accommodating non-standard situations, and considering special requests for exceptions. In this webinar, we’re going to discuss strategies for coping with the vagaries of our profession. We’ll consider why different institutions establish different rules, why central offices sometimes make “inconsistent” decisions, and why project-specific needs often confound our best efforts to routinize. Registrants will be required to watch the webinar on their own prior to attending the session where they will participate in small-group breakouts with other Duke research administrators.
- AGM CERTIFICATION REQUIRED.
- Associated Webinar will be made available closer to the session date and must be watched prior to attending the Discussion session.
