Strategies to Mobilize RD Activities
Integrate other departments, centers, and units across campus into established programs
![Page 23: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Strategies to Mobilize RD Activities
Engage in cross-campus activities
![Page 25: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cross-campus Activities
Navigate: Fundamentals• Research administrator training developed by ORSP• RD modules—beginning and advanced
On the horizon: RA training for faculty
![Page 26: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cross-campus Activities
Library Portal• Research Funding & Grants Guide: a central, campus-wide web portal
for funding resources, grant-writing training and events, and more• Research Funding Consultation: a personalized, expert funding and
grant search consultation service for U-M research faculty & staff• funding.research.umich.edu
![Page 27: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Strategies to Mobilize RD Activities
Create a cross-campus RD group
![Page 28: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Building an RD Community
Research Development group• Bi-monthly meetings to promote communication across
schools & colleges (10+ schools/units represented)• RD: share best practices, inspire big ideas, and share
resources (i.e., reduce duplication of effort)• Faculty: increase interdisciplinary collaboration,
increase funding success, earlier career success
![Page 29: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Building an RD Community
Mini-NORDP“Research Development at UM: Laying the Groundwork for Faculty Success”• Free half-day conference, June 14• Audience: research administration & leadership• Goals:
o introduce campus to RD as an emerging field and potential career path;
o provide examples of RD in practice; o inspire creative problem-solving; o networking with likeminded professionals
![Page 30: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Gaps and Challenges
University-Wide• Correlating investment in RD with outcomes and impact• Thinking “institutionally” rather than in silos• Creating awareness of RD activities
RD Community• Focusing on problem solving• Identifying common interests
![Page 31: Strategies to Mobilize Research Development Activities and ......DRDA ORSP Department of Research Development & Administration Office of Research & Sponsored Projects RAAC = Research](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050507/5f988ea21dc72b1e3a53d291/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Lessons Learned Do not reinvent the wheel
• What RD activities are occurring across your campus?• Leverage established programs/resources/tools• Identify channels to share your own work
Questions?Beth LaPensee, MICHR [email protected]
Jill Jividen, UMMS Office of [email protected]
Collaborate to share but also to create buy-in for RD
Small networks can still foster silos; think campus-wide
