Beginning FY24, the Institute began allocating funding for under- recovery of F&A (Indirect Costs) in sponsored research programs, through the DLCI UR allocation accounts. Several DLCIs have been piloting new functionality in the Research@MIT app, which allows users to create and approve under-recovery requests for their sponsored research proposals. 

This session will provide: 

1. An overview of the new under-recovery process: Understanding its significance and impact on research budgets.
2. Key functionality in the Research@MIT app: How to create, review, and approve under-recovery requests.
3. Management of under-recovery in research awards: Practical examples and scenarios.

Join us to learn how to navigate the new under-recovery process and learn about using the Research@MIT app for such requests in research proposals. This session is beneficial for university research administrators looking to enhance their skills in managing research project finances.

Live Web Event

Research administration (RA) and research development (RD) are distinct but closely related functions within the broader field of academic research management. They involve different aspects of supporting research activities at universities and research institutions. While at times the two roles may overlap, they serve different purposes within the broader framework of supporting and advancing research activities in academic institutions. 

The session will explore the unique contributions of both research development and research administration to the research enterprise. Participants will have the opportunity to learn the value of both professional roles, discuss operational challenges, and explore collaboration opportunities to enhance research outcomes. Through interactive sessions and expert-led discussions, participants will gain valuable insights to encourage a stronger collaborative environment. The webinar will cover tips and strategies for ensuring success with navigation between both RA and RD functions and activities.

Learning Objectives

Join us for this informative session:

• Participants will have a clear understanding of the roles of responsibilities between RA and RD.
• Participants will understand the value each function brings to the research enterprise.
• Participants will be provided with strategies and tools to engage with and elevate their partnering RA or RD functions and activities

No registration is required.
