Upcoming RAN Meetings

TITLE: NCURA Webinar – NSPM-33 Compliance

DATE AND TIME: Thursday April 11th, 2024 from 2:00-3.30pm ET

Deadline to submit your registration request through RAN is Tuesday April 9th, 2024 by  5pm

 

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

This session will provide a broad overview of the proposed NSPM-33 program requirements. We will discuss which requirements are least likely to change and which have the greatest potential to change before the final guidance is released. We will host a dialogue about what participants are doing at their own institutions to prepare and where they are holding off. Finally, we will offer some ideas for how to start or keep the conversation going at your home institution.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Participants will understand which NSPM-33 requirements are least likely to change versus those still in flux.
  2. Participants will build an understanding of how to engage with key stakeholders despite the uncertainty of the final guidance.
  3. Participants will learn from colleagues about what they are doing in these spaces.

What can RAN do for you?

RAN membership provides professional development opportunities.  As a member of RAN you will receive notifications about upcoming meetings and changes in the processes, guidance, and policies maintained through central administration. The RAN committee will offer training and networking sessions for research administrators throughout the year. The committee will bring in guest speakers as needed and present programming to provide the best tools and resources to support research administrators. A typical agenda may feature an update on current research activities, changes in the uniform guidance, or educational topics driven by the needs of the network members.

A network site through the UMaine Portal has been established in order to facilitate the RAN mission. The network site gives RAN members access to upcoming meeting materials; notes and handouts from past meetings; resources and training; and discussion boards (RSS feeds) for ongoing conversation of topics of need and relevance to the research administrators network. This site can only be accessed by members of the RAN community.
