ResearchWise Hot Topics
Regulations that impact University research are constantly evolving, as are University policies designed to keep pace with them. NDRAC is launching a new monthly Zoom series, Research Hot Topics, to help you - faculty, researchers, staff, postdocs, and grad students - keep up with these changes, clarify confusion, and ensure compliance and integrity in the impactful work you do.
The ResearchWise Hot Topics Series will deliver informative and engaging discussions about emerging topics in the field of research administration. Each monthly topic will be offered twice, once in-person and once virtually, to provide flexibility to fit your schedule.
Experts from NDRAC will present and will be on hand to answer questions on the topic of the day as well as any other research questions you have. From understanding award and contracting processes and data privacy to understanding safety and conflict of interest, we want to make sure you have the updated information you need when you need it. Please join us for networking, learning, and refreshments.
