Upcoming Training Opportunities
Sponsored Research Training Workshop for New Department Administrators
September 17 & 18, 2019 -- All Day
The 2-Day Foundational Training Workshop has proven very popular and will be offered again this fall. The course will give participants a holistic and high level view of sponsored research at BU, including roles and responsibilities. It covers the entire grant project life cycle, including pre award and post award activities. This course is aimed at DAs who have been in their roles managing grants for around a year or less. It is ideal for anyone who is new to sponsored research at BU, or who will be taking on new grants management responsibilities and needs a refresher.
You can register now for the next session, September 17-18, 2019. (Please Note: Seats are limited to the first 20 registrants and you must commit to attending both days. If you cannot attend this session but are still interested, it will be offered again next spring.)
