Encore | A Series of Annual Meeting iSessions
Developing new contract negotiators can be a complicated, challenging, but exciting process. This session will provide insights into how to develop an effective training program that incorporates self-paced learning and mentoring by senior contract negotiators using SRAI programming. A multi-faceted approach is needed to convey the body of knowledge of the basics of contract administration, and specifically, the contract terms and conditions relevant to research. Research administration leaders will provide insights into contracting principles, consideration of institutional policies, and the regulatory framework relevant to research contracting. This structured approach avoids the hazard of leaving those new to the field feeling as if they are drinking from a fire hose. SRAI educational platforms combined with negotiator reference materials will be demonstrated to help institutions develop a nuanced program that teaches the basics for analyzing risk in contract terms and viewing the deal from the other side. This session is appropriate for managers tasked with developing these programs as well as individuals who are hoping to expand their experience into the contracting role of research administration.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the components of an educational program for developing contract negotiators when an organization is faced with the need to "grow your own."
- Utilize SRAI educational programs and other available resources as a toolkit for contract negotiators while engaging senior staff in the process.
