Research Administration Learning Strategy

Leading with intention, the Research Administration Learning & Development (L&D) Strategic Initiative prioritizes community, expertise, and responsibility to support Yale’s world-class research. 

With this approach, we equip Research Administrators with the skills, knowledge, and tools they need to enable faculty in performing world-class research at Yale.

Strategic Priorities

Foster a complaint and engaged community

We will develop clear processes for training compliance management and oversite to build a community of engaged, informed, and reliable partners in meeting our institutional responsibilities in a rapidly-changing compliance environment.

Enhance Yale’s network of professionalized Research Administrators

We will invest in our staff’s development with sequential, role-based learning throughout the Research Administrator career path with clear guidance for supervisor engagement. We will pivot our support of staff in times of change by using education as a tool for communication and community.

Achieve our mission and meet institutional responsibility via operational excellence

We will strengthen our administrative systems and internal controls to provide optimal support while managing risk to meet the needs of evolving new policy or technology implementation.
