What is RAM?

RAM is an informal, grass-roots organization developed to facilitate networking, communication, and knowledge transfer by and between CU 色吧亚洲 Research Administrators. Currently, RAM holds monthly Zoom meetings called "Tuesday Talks" and maintains a Teams site.听

What is the purpose of the Research Administrators Teams Site?

The CU 色吧亚洲 Research Administrators Teams Site is a virtual space for research administrators across campus to ask questions and problem-solve with each other through chat. It is also a centralized location to share and access helpful sponsored project resources (links, templates, tools, etc.) through the File section in each Teams Channel. We know it can be difficult to navigate the world of sponsored projects, so it鈥檚 our hope is that this site will serve as a meeting place to relieve feelings of isolation and strengthen the skillset and confidence of our Research Administration community!

What are Tuesday Talks?

The leadership teams of the Office of Contracts and Grants (OCG) and Research Financial Services within the Campus Controller's Office (CCO)听team up to provide a monthly discussion forum called "Tuesday Talks" to address campus needs. Tuesday Talks take place the second Tuesday of each month at 9:00 AM.听Join the resadmin listserv听to receive meeting invitations and agendas for Tuesday Talks.
