Other Resources & Related Topics
Select events, not managed by OERAF, are reviewed in advance and preapproved for CE credit. These are normally internal or external events where OERAF does not manage or have access to attendance records. The most common opportunities are sponsoring agency events, workshops from professional organizations, or other internal Duke events not sponsored by OERAF but applicable to research administration.
Preapproved events are advertised to the research administration community in the Research Insider newsletter and myRESEARCHpath Updates.
