A half-day virtual conference from The Teaching Professor
Live: February 25, 2027
and on-demand through May 25, 2027
Research funding is more competitive. Requirements are changing. Compliance expectations are growing. The Research Administration and Grant Strategy Learning Lab gives you the opportunity to step back, strengthen the systems behind successful research, and gather practical ideas that make your day-to-day work more efficient, effective, and manageable.
Join us live and online February 25 for a half-day of timely ideas, expert guidance, and practical tools designed specifically for higher education research professionals. You’ll hear from experts who understand the realities of sponsored programs and research administration, and leave with strategies you can put to work right away.
You’ll explore topics across proposal development and funding strategy, research compliance and security, pre- and post-award management, financial stewardship, research operations, and institutional capacity.
No travel. No full-day commitment. Just timely, higher education-specific guidance you can put into practice immediately.
Program
In just a few hours, you’ll gain practical strategies to help you and your team respond to changing grant requirements and funding expectations, strengthen pre- and post-award processes, improve collaboration with principal investigators, and use technology responsibly to reduce administrative burden.
This half-day learning lab features a one-hour plenary followed by a curated selection of concurrent sessions focused on the challenges research offices are facing now. Sessions will provide actionable tools, templates, decision-making frameworks, workflow examples, and process improvements you can adapt to your own institution.
