Please join Research Administrators INC for a showing of NCURA's 90-minute pre-recorded presentation entitled, "Bringing Success: Navigating from Proposal to Post-Award Triumph."

>From idea to reality: The bridge from proposal submission to project management is an important transition. This session delves into the best practices necessary to set awards on a path to post-award success. While the excitement of winning can feel rewarding, it signals the kickoff of long-haul award management. Diligent attention, management, and communication can ensure the project adheres to sponsor and institutional guidelines. This session promises to be an invaluable resource for research administrators, project managers, and researchers, providing attendees with the real-world tools and knowledge necessary to transition their projects from proposal to post-award.

Learning Objectives:  At the end of this session, participants will be able to understand how to identify potential pitfalls and address them proactively.

  *   Preparation: Describe the steps needed at proposal to support the award
  *   Compliance: Understand how to manage compliance to ensure institutional alignment
  *   Transition: Develop an understanding of key steps to successfully navigate the transition
  *   Communication: Discover strategies for maintaining open lines of communication internally and with sponsors
