Description:

Trainers will rotate topics to give a comprehensive overview of research administration as a series of ongoing education sessions. Each event will be updated to reflect the agenda & presenter in the weeks leading up to the event as items are confirmed. Note that trainings are in-person by default but some may switch to virtual pending presenter availability. 

This is geared toward new research administrators but is open to anyone who is interested or wants a refresher.  Please join us and feel free to contact sparc@northwestern.edu if you’d like to present or have any recommended topics.  Thank you, and we hope to see you soon!

Topic: Did you know you can access Cognos reports other than the GM045 or GM096 to review your portfolio? We're going to discuss how you can utilize other reports to manage your workload, hold your team accountable, and track deliverables.

Presenters: Bethany Ekesa, CRA, Director of Research Administration - SPARC & Sheila Chhim, CFRA, Financial Administrator - SPARC
