style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>SRA International frequently receives
questions from members and their employers about average salaries and
typical benefits for research administrators. In response to those
requests, SRA will undertake one of the most comprehensive efforts to date
to document salaries and benefits within the field of research
administration. This is a large undertaking, and we need your help in order
for it to be successful. Please take the time to read the instructions
below and complete the 2008 Salary and Benefits Survey. As an expression of
gratitude, everyone who completes the survey will receive a report that
documents the average national salary and typical benefits for their
position title. Instructions for requesting this report will be provided at
the end of the survey. In order to protect your privacy and the
confidentiality of your responses, survey data will only be compiled and
reported in the aggregate. Individual responses will not be available to
anyone – including other SRA members and SRA staff. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
