RAMP - Program Description and Registration
Through a partnership between the offices of Sponsored Programs and
Regulatory Compliance Services (SPARCS) and Contracts and Grants (C&G)
the research administration enterprise of NC State University is pleased
to offer a five-day training program comprised of four modules: #1
- Pre Award (one day), #2 - Post Award (two days), #3 - Compliance,
Intellectual Property and Export Controls (one day) and #4 –
Navigating Electronic Research Administration Systems (ERA) (one day).
Participants meet one day a week for a five week program.
This partnership starts with SPARCS and C&G, but relies heavily
on the outstanding training and service provided by many other offices
on campus including, but not limited to the Office of Technology Transfer
and the Office of Legal Affairs, providing a “cradle-to-grave”
overview of research administration at NC State. The goal of this
four-module training program is simple: train staff, faculty and leadership
in the art of managing externally sponsored research and scholarly
endeavors. The measurement of our success will be in the competence
expressed in our daily decision-making, recognition of program completion
through internal certification, and achieving a high success rate
in national certification of our research administrators. But ultimately,
the satisfaction of the faculty in our efforts to facilitate their
sponsored scholarly and research endeavors and attaining clean financial,
program and regulatory compliance audits will confirm this broadened
competence. Participants who attend all five days of RAMP will receive
a certificate of participation. Those wishing to attend one session
may also register for a ½ or full day for Module 1, 2, 3 or
4.
