may know, NCURA and our colleagues at the European Association of Research
Managers and Administrators (EARMA) have been collaborating for the past 18
months to develop an exchange program for research administrators.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Program
objectives of the NCURA/EARMA International Research Management Fellowship
Program are to develop, nurture, and support a mutual exchange fellowship to
advance the training of research administrators and managers and their
understanding of international research collaboration. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>After
a preliminary survey to our membership last year showed high support for such
a program, NCURA formed a Working Group to begin the implementation of the
program. Our first step is a BETA test of the Exchange Program and, to do so,
we are sending out a Call of Interest for Host Institutions. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=1 color=black face=Verdana><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>The
program is for a minimum of two weeks and may take place at any time between
June and September 2009. Institutions who wish to serve as hosts will need to
