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.

A mentoring
program developed for those who have failed CA exam twice.

A mentoring
program developed for newly appointed CAs.
