For a research administrator, some of the more challenging projects to manage involves projects with an international component. It is not unusual for these projects to diverge from conventional operating practices and often demand their own unique solutions to common challenges. This webinar will provide participants with an introductory understanding of the key challenges in administering an internationally sponsored portfolio whether the funding involves foreign sponsorship, the support of a remote research site, or the management of an international subaward. We will review the shared concerns in managing a project with an international component, the concerns that are unique to the receipt of foreign funds, and the challenges that come with the management of an international subaward. Areas of focus will include budgeting, project management, regulatory compliance, and best practices that lead to successful management of research without borders.
Learning Objectives:
-
Participants will gain a greater appreciation of the challenges successful research administrators must overcome in managing international projects.
-
Presenters will share their experience and tips in managing cultural, currency, and compliance challenges on the global scale.
