• Master in Research Administration

Research Administration as a profession has advanced substantially over the past few years as sponsored research has become more complicated.  The success of research endeavors depends on the scientific merit of the project as well as the effective administration of the project to insure efficient use of resources and compliance with the myriad of provisions set by the sponsoring agency.  Research administrators are instrumental in proposal preparation, budgeting, reporting, monitoring, contracting, procurement and staffing.  They also emphasize the importance of the primary compliance issues facing institutions today, including protection of human and animal research subjects, research misconduct, subrecipient monitoring, and effort reporting.  They serve as vital members of the research team, contributing substantially to the success of the individual researchers, the home institution and the sponsoring organization. The Master in Research Administration (MRA) program is designed for professionals working in the research administration field who wish to advance their careers.
