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.

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.

3:35 – 4:30 pm EST * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

In this webinar, we will conduct a deep dive into salary budgets. The session will analyze a broad spectrum of concerns, including but not limited to salary on academic vs. calendar vs. summer calendars. Material will explore the intersection of effort and payroll, budgeting for non-faculty personnel, conflicts of interest, and other auditing concerns. We will address the budget lifecycle, exploring how the pre-award stage lays groundwork for the post-award journey. We’ll discuss budgeting considerations that can set the path for project success or lead to unintended consequences and challenges that last even after closeout.

The webinar will serve participants at many levels of research administration. New research administrators learn how to effectively create a budget with strong fundamentals. Experienced research administrators may study challenging budget issues and think through solutions. Departmental administrators will receive takeaways to assist their work with faculty and central administration. Central administrators will gain insight into the process and how to better engage departmental or faculty partners to improve budgeting and budget review. 

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

Participants will:

• Understand how the budgeting of salaries helps to operationalize a project and set it for ‘smooth sailing.’ 
• Get a better understanding of the details needed in successful personnel budgets. 
• Understand how to address key issues with faculty members when discussing salaries. 
• Receive concrete takeaways that will be useful for any research administrator working with budgeted salaries.

Outline: Questioning the Budget: Salaries

Checklist Questions:

1. The Crew: Who will be on this project?
2. Man the Stations: What will each person be doing on the project?
3. Watching the Stars: When will they need to do the work on the project?

Cost sharing can be a challenge to research administrators, new and old, and it can present a lot of burdens, some may say horror! This webinar is designed to provide an overview and share horror stories and tips for navigating cost share across the lifecycle, including at the proposal, award receipt, award management, and closeout stages.  Attend this webinar to learn from real-life case studies and make cost-sharing less of a nightmare! This presentation will help attendees define cost sharing, identify the types of cost sharing, explain how cost sharing can go wrong, and touch on best practices and experiences from the presenters’ time in research administration, as well as the After the Show for discussion and Q&;A!

Prerequisites

• It's recommended, though optional for participants to have some experience in research administration. 
• Participants will benefit from an intermediate understanding of research administration, which builds upon their knowledge base to tackle a complex subject. Participants who want a detailed review and problem-solving solutions for cost-sharing will also find this helpful.

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

• Participants will be able to apply the principles of the federal Uniform Guidance that govern federal cost-share requirements.
• Participants will take away "lessons learned" from cost-sharing case studies.
• Participants will understand the key cost-sharing issues across the lifecycle of an award. 

Participants receive 1.5 hours of continuing education credits.

Allocating Costs Effectively: How to Divide the Pie 

December 5, 2022
2:00 – 3:30 pm EDT * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm EDT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!

Working with faculty to assign the cost of resources to a project poses a challenge, especially when those resources benefit multiple (yet highly related!) projects. Articulating a solution to distribute costs among projects that is acceptable to sponsor, institution, and PI is one of the trickiest in research administration.  You may know general guard rails; but, is the approach defendable? Come join our panel for the presentation and follow-on “Ask the Speaker” session addressing the allocation definition and acceptable practices. In addition to informative background, the panel will work through case studies that may feel instantly familiar and challenge you to produce clever solutions.

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

Participants receive 1.5 hours of continuing education credits.
