OSP RAFTs
What are RAFTs?
Research Administration Forum & Training sessions (RAFTs) provide an opportunity for the campus research community to learn and network. Presenters may be from the Office of Sponsored Programs, the School of Medicine Sponsored Programs Office, Administrators from Central Offices or Departments, and/or any combination. The goal is to provide engaging discussions on relevant topics in research administration and sponsored projects management.
RAFTs will occur on a triannual basis and are open to all from campus. Each RAFTs will also include an opportunity to submit questions beforehand and the sessions are recorded and posted to the RAFTs webpage shortly after the event.
Format of RAFTs
The format will allow time for presenters to speak/train on a specific topic or process and then open into a forum for discussion with participants. Open discussions and dialogue are encouraged!
