Certified Approver Program

Innovations include:

Done

Results from a Certified Approver “Bridging the Gap” survey led to:

  • Development and distribution of a “Certified Approver Best Practices” document that has been endorsed by the Council of Research Associate Deans


  • A new Certified Approver Customer Service continuing education module (see http://www.oar.umn.edu/CA/Approved_Cont_Ed.cfm#Option1 )


  • Recognition at a national meeting of research administrators outlining the CA program and the results from the survey

  • References to the NIH “excetional status” and investigation removed from the description of the CA program. It was felt that the program has developed sufficient strength to stand in its own merit.
