Certified Research Administrator Program
usf-centric curriculum for researcher administrators
The 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 offers a certification program for employees who serve as research administrators. The designation, Certified Research Administrator-USF (CRA-USF), identifies the certification with 新澳门六合彩内幕信息and is aligned with recognized academic and professional credentialing.
The CRA-新澳门六合彩内幕信息stands apart from other research administration certifications in that the curriculum is USF-centric, focusing on the business systems, processes, best practices, tool, resources and forms endorsed and used by the 新澳门六合彩内幕信息.
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 新澳门六合彩内幕信息employees, CRA-USF/Basic and CRA-
USF/Advanced, by successfully completing the applicable online course. Employees

Administrators at USF.
Recertification
Certification standardization is essential to upholding the integrity of the CRA-USF
credentialing program and serves to support the credibility of those who hold the
credential at USF. Recertification helps to ensure members of the Academy of

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.
