The Office of Sponsored Programs Resumes RAP Meetings
A blue image with gray text that reads: "The Office of Sponsored Programs presents 'Research Administrator's Post' - Join the discussion on Zoom Tuesday, April 5, at 10 a.m. Registration required."
Research Administrator's Post (RAP) was created in the Fall of 2010 to provide award management information to U of A departmental administrators who oversee federal, state and industry grants. The meeting series is set to make a comeback this month—in a modified format. In March of 2020, COVID-19 safety protocol prevented the regularly scheduled monthly meetings hosted by the Division of Research and Innovation's Office of Sponsored Programs. The meeting series will resume this month in a virtual format.
The topic of April's RAP meeting will be "An Overview of the Office of Sponsored Programs." Ali Lombardo, assistant vice chancellor and senior director of OSP, will deliver the presentation, introduce the members of OSP and explain their roles and responsibilities.
On Tuesday, April 5, at 10 a.m., the RAP meeting will take place on Zoom. Participants should register online for this session.
If you would like to receive future RAP notifications, please email research@uark.edu to be added to the new Listserv.
