Linda:

With the changes being made here at ECU, I don't feel I can commit anyone to attend.

Thanks,

Okay, you are one that I can count on to nail me to a wall!!! Thank you!

CRA stands for Certified Research Administrator and is a widely accepted and preferred national certification for sponsored programs directors and staff. OU and OSU require it for all their staff members, so there are a lot of certified folks in Oklahoma. You take a national exam in one to three areas, the CRA Certified Research Administrator, CPRA Certified Pre-Award Research Administrator  and/or CFRA Certified Financial Research Administrator. The information that is used as the basis for the certification is really good background information for all of us who work with grants.

See http://www.cra-cert.org/whatiscertification.html for more information.

Do not be afraid to give your time to writing grant proposals. Time given to planning proposals is never time lost, but is rather time gained, so that our research, our programs, our collaborations and indeed our whole profession may become more profoundly significant.

How many folks are interested in a 1 day CRA Training Workshop for late summer. I am just checking to see if we have a viable group. Please respond with names and contact information.
