The Office of Research Administration is the sponsored projects administration office under Johns Hopkins University Research Administration (JHURA). JHURA serves Johns Hopkins Universitys Whiting School of Engineering, Carey Business School, School of Education, Peabody Institute, Bloomberg School of Public Health, School of Advanced International... Studies, and the Applied Physics Lab. Our office strives to provide top quality support to the Johns Hopkins communitys research, creative activity, technology transfer, and outreach/policy initiatives. In laymans terms, we process the grants and contracts that are procured by the schools faculty, and our blog will discuss the various issues that are encountered in the research administration arena. While many of our entries will reference Hopkins-specific procedures, our intended audience is actually the entire RA community, as we all will face the same problems regarding, say, a glitch in the NIH computer system. Consequently, we hope to facilitate discussions across RA offices in an effort to help everyone make their jobs a bit easier. Our crack staff here at ORA will be posting regularly on topics that we feel are important to the masses, but we also will be happy to write on things in which our readership has interest. To that end, please dont hesitate to leave us a note here, or send an email to admin@bloggingora.com with any comments or suggestions. We also welcome submissions from our colleagues, so please contact us if you are interested in contributing!Read More
