Presenters:
Denise Clark: Associate Vice President for Research Administration; University of Maryland College Park

Course Description: So you understand the
core competencies of research administration - now what? How do you
apply these concepts to your daily life as Departmental, Pre-award or
Post-award administrator in today's world? What do the audits at other
institutions tell you about what you should be looking for at your
institution? How are other institutions changing their practices to
keep pace with changes in the regulations?
Current "hot topics" case studies, that have been constructed
using real life scenarios, serve as the core of this thought-provoking
workshop. Participants will apply the foundational principles of the
Uniform Guidance, OMB Circulars, federal regulations and common
institutional policies and procedures to work through the many shades of
grey that make up the research administration kaleidoscope. This
promises to be a lively, highly interactive experience that will allow
attendees to learn from the instructors as well as the other attendees.
