NCURA SPA II (Virtual) Workshop coming to UAA!
by UAA Office of Research |
NCURA Fundamentals of Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) Level II Workshop
Deeadline to register: Nov. 11, 11:59 p.m. Register here!
For more experienced research administrators, NCURA created "Level II: Sponsored Project Administration-Critical Issues in Research Administration" (commonly referred to as "SPA II"). This professional development program offers participants an opportunity for in-depth instruction in four core aspects of research administration: institutional compliance responsibilities; proposal creation and submission; contract and subaward review; and post award financial administration. Each of these topics will be explored through a combination of broad overview, case study analysis and discussion.
SPAII differs from the Fundamentals of Sponsored Project Administration workshop in a number of important ways. Though Fundamentals is not a prerequisite to enrolling in SPAII, attendees are encouraged to have a minimum of three years of sponsored projects administration experience in order to understand and contribute to the discussion. Where Fundamentals provides a broad, sweeping overview of sponsored projects from "cradle to grave," SPAII takes a focused, in-depth view of a limited number of topics and issues. This approach enables the use of discussion and case studies to provide for greater audience participation. The Open Forum is another unique feature of SPAII where participants can pose questions and engage in lively discussion about virtually any aspect of research administration.
Who should attend? Attendees are encouraged to have a minimum of three years of sponsored projects administration experience in order to understand and contribute to the discussion.
Central and departmental research administrators who have a minimum of three years of sponsored projects administration experience. Level II is also beneficial for those who have been in the field for five plus years and desire a broader view of sponsored projects administration field to aid their professional growth and development. While prior participation in Fundamentals is recommended, it is not a prerequisite.
