Spooky Business: Managing SBIR/STTR Projects 

October 11, 2023
2:00 – 3:30 pm EDT * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm EDT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards are an increasingly popular way for research institutions to partner with industry on federal projects.  SBIR and STTR projects are critical in the development of various technologies; however, such relationships may give rise to several competing interests. This session will discuss strategies for identifying and managing multiple competing interests when research institutions partner with a small business entity on these federal projects. We will highlight different approaches to the proposal submission and award of SBIR and STTR projects from the perspective of a Sponsored Programs Officer in an Office of Sponsored Research and Industry Contracts Officers in a Technology Transfer Office, and from a non-profit/medical center (City of Hope) and public/state institutions (University of California, Riverside and University of California, Santa Barbara).

Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.

In this session:

• Participants will learn about the different types of SBIR and STTR submissions
• Participants will gain an understanding of different approaches and guidelines/policy to SBIR/STTR submissions at different institutions
• Participants will identify various types of potential issues that may arise during SBIR/STTR projects, from Conflict of Interest (COI), Intellectual Property (IP), budget, etc.

Strategies for Working with Investigators: Crucial, Critical, Courageous Conversations 

July 24, 2023
2:00 – 3:30 pm EDT * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm EDT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

Research administrators live with dual roles, serving to facilitate our investigators’ research while also monitoring compliance with sponsor and university regulations.  The work we do to assist investigators with their proposals and awards helps build a relationship that engenders trust.  That trust, however fragile, supports our interactions when difficult communications are necessary. Trust is definitely the starting point for potentially contentious meetings, but it is not sufficient by itself.  If conflict, anger, or resentment arise, research administrators will need tools to listen to each investigator’s perspective, to calmly convey their own messages, to gain understanding of opposing positions, and to offer options to investigators.  This session will provide insight into the special pressures facing our investigators; offer suggestions on building positive relationships; discuss ideas for handling instances of conflict and anger; and present tips for best practices in your communications.  The webinar will include time for questions, suggestions, and anecdotes.  

Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.

Participants will:

• Gain insight into the pressures facing our investigators from both their academic and research responsibilities
• Understand what you as a research administrator can do to be helpful and to convey professionalism
• Discover best practices from your colleagues to guide you during difficult conversations

Participants receive 1.5 hours of continuing education credits.

Cost Transfers: Evaluating your Current Procedures to Mitigate Risk 

May 22, 2023
2:00 – 3:30 pm EDT * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm EDT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

Cost transfers are always an area of high scrutiny. While the simplest suggestion is to prevent them altogether, in many cases they are unavoidable. This webinar will explore the federal requirements surrounding cost transfers and examine how two different institutions have implemented policies to monitor compliance and mitigate the risk associated with these types of transactions. We will discuss ways to ensure all cost transfers are appropriate, timely, and most importantly, sufficiently documented.   

Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will gain an understanding of federal guidance surrounding cost transfers and will become familiar with audit compliance issues related to documentation and timing of cost transfers.  
• Participants can expect to leave the webinar with best practices for minimizing the need for cost transfers and managing them appropriately when the transactions are necessary. These best practices will serve as a guide for participants to evaluate their own institutional policies for compliance. 

Participants receive 1.5 hours of continuing education credits.

• Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
• Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
• We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.

Your registration includes one log-in. We are pleased to provide the opportunity for you to register additional sites at your institution for no additional charge.

When you are checking out, click the "Add Extra Login" button in your cart, and type in the email address of your colleague that you would like to register. If they already have a profile in the registration system, their name will pop up and you can add them to your registration.  

If that person has never logged in to the Online Learning Center their name will not come up. Please have them go to the NCURA website to create a profile, then log into this registration site. This initial login is required for the registration site to communicate with NCURA's database. After that, you will be able to add them to your registration.*

If you add at least one additional registration with yours, you will be able to change or add more registrations for the webinar in the future by clicking “My Registrations” in the menu at the top left of the home page, then clicking the “Purchases for Others” button.

*If you have already checked out without adding any additional logins but would still like to invite others from your institution, please refer to the extra logins tab for a registration link for your institution. Note, this tab will only appear after you have completed your paid registration.

Handouts will be available 24 hours before the live webinar.
