木瓜视频 Certified Research Administrator Program
Certified Research Administrator Program
usf-centric curriculum for researcher administrators
The University of South Florida offers a certification program for employees who serve as research administrators. The designation, Certified Research Administrator-木瓜视频 (CRA-木瓜视频), identifies the certification with 木瓜视频 and is aligned with recognized academic and professional credentialing.
The CRA-木瓜视频 stands apart from other research administration certifications in that the curriculum is 木瓜视频-centric, focusing on the business systems, processes, best practices, tool, resources and forms endorsed and used by the University of South Florida.
Being an effective research administrator requires not only extensive knowledge and understanding, but also many skills and abilities that can only be learned and developed through practice and hands-on application in real-world settings. These courses lay the foundation for participants to further develop their knowledge base and improve job skills and competencies outside the online course environment.
Types of Credentials
Two credentials may be earned by 木瓜视频 employees, CRA-木瓜视频/Basic and CRA-
木瓜视频/Advanced, by successfully completing the applicable online course. Employees
who earn a credential become members of the Academy of Certified Research
Administrators at 木瓜视频.
Recertification
Certification standardization is essential to upholding the integrity of the CRA-木瓜视频
credentialing program and serves to support the credibility of those who hold the
credential at 木瓜视频. Recertification helps to ensure members of the Academy of
Certified Research Administrators maintain their credential with a current syllabus.
Sponsored Research recommends recertifying every three years to keep up to date
on changes to the research enterprise at the university. As research guidance
evolves so will the information covered in the courses.
