NCURA Region VI Education and Professional Development Committee
Lunchtime Learning Series: Proposal Review & Submission
August 23, 2023, 12:00-12:45 pm PDT
The Region VI Education and Professional Development Committee (EPDC) is proud to announce our Lunchtime Learning Series; a short 45-minute session with a focus on a specific topic. The series is not meant to be an in-depth training, but an opportunity for colleagues to present and discuss tips, tricks and tools that have worked (or not worked). This month’s focus is on Proposal Review & Submission where we can have an informal conversation with colleagues regarding the potential pitfalls of proposal submission and review from our seasoned research administrators.
Join us Wednesday, August 23 for our Lunchtime Learning Series: Proposal Review & Submission with Jeff Derr, providing a departmental perspective, and Jenna Isakson, with the central office perspective.
Jeff and Jenna will cover issues related to institutional proposal deadlines, communication, and central value-add among other items.
Jeff Derr has been in research administration for his entire career and is currently a Specialist Leader with Attain Partners. Jeff has been a member of NCURA since 2017, presented at several annual meetings, and is currently a member of the Region VI EPDC. He has spent the last seven plus years in higher education working on the full life cycle of research administration in a departmental role. Jeff’s favorite part of the job is meeting great people, problem solving tough situations, and helping to support groundbreaking research.
Jenna Isakson, MPA, CRA is the Director of the Office of Sponsored Projects at Seattle University, a predominately undergraduate institution (PUI).
