Research Administrators Meet (RAM)
RAM is an informal, grass-roots organization developed to facilitate networking, communication, and knowledge transfer by and between CU Boulder Research Administrators. Currently, RAM holds monthly Zoom meetings called "Tuesday Talks" and maintains a Teams site.泭
What is the purpose of the Research Administrators Teams Site?
The CU Boulder 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 its 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)泭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.泭Join the resadmin listserv泭to receive meeting invitations and agendas for Tuesday Talks.
Who can join RAM?
Membership is open to all CU Research Administrators, which includes:
- Any department staff that have some responsibility for any aspect of sponsored research
- All interested faculty and staff including those in central offices, departments, and research institutes
