- Charting the course: navigating the evolving field of research management and administration researchPublication . Santos, José M.R.C.A.; Susi, PoliAs we navigate the increasingly complex landscape of global research and innovation, the role of Research Management and Administration (RMA) professionals has become more critical than ever for enabling research excellence and ensuring the effective delivery of impactful research outcomes. Thus, this role has become not just increasingly visible but also to some extent even acknowledged by leading stakeholders (e.g. policy makers such as the European Commission). RMA professionals are the individuals and teams who, behind the scenes, enable and enhance the entire research lifecycle, from grant applications to impact realization and everything in between, including science diplomacy, science communication, and research strategy development (Agostinho et al., 2020).
- The conundrum of managing research and development: how can research managers and administrators leverage industry practices in project management?Publication . Santos, José M.R.C.A.What is new? This short essay addresses the application of industrial project management practices to the field of research management and administration. Beyond specific Project management frameworks and methodologies widely spread in industry contexts, it outlines a set of core tools and techniques that can effectively inform the development of research management activities in this area. What was the approach? Although there is no unique blueprint for ideal research project management approaches, best practices and useful guidelines and tools can be defined to help research managers and administrators fulfil their roles. These are systematized per major project management stage, based on a review of existing literature and the author’s experience with complex research projects. What is the academic impact? The paper summarizes relevant knowledge spread over the specialized project management literature. What is the wider impact? The heterogeneity of partners, strict funder regulations, work uncertainty, and the creative nature of research and development mean that project organization and management should reflect and accommodate these specificities. The findings presented in the paper can assist research managers and administrators in formulating appropriate management strategies for research and development projects, enabling them to make better-informed decisions based on the insights provided.
- RAPIDS - Research Administration Professional IDentity Values ScalePublication . Fischer, Melinda; Santos, José M.R.C.A.; Kerridge, SimonThe RAPIDS project aims to be a significant step forward in the development and professionalization of the research administration field. The creation of a Professional Identity Values Scale for Research Administrators will provide a comprehensive understanding of the values and professional identity of RAs. This, in turn, will benefit individuals by helping them align with their peers and grow professionally, while also supporting organizations and institutions in shaping more effective professional development programs. Moreover, the scale has the potential to attract new talent to the profession, ensuring its continued growth and success. To make this project a success, we urge all members of the research administration community to participate in the survey, as your insights are critical to shaping the future of the profession. Together, we can foster a stronger understanding of the global professional identity of research administrators and ensure the continued excellence of research administration worldwide.
- Research Project Management: Defining Roles and Responsibilities from Practice/ExperiencePublication . Barbosa, Cláudia; Cebolla Sanahuja, Lorena; Collini, Mirella; Moser, Riccarda; Santos, José M.R.C.A.; Twohig, Richard; Vare, DanielWhat is new? There is a widespread lack of clarity and consensus regarding the role of Research Project Managers (RPMs) in collaborative research projects, which this paper aims to address. This is the most extensive attempt to define the role of a Research Project Manager (RPM) in collaborative research projects. What was the approach? The paper draws on the authors' combined experience managing collaborative research projects, synthesising insights from theoretical frameworks and practical implementations in diverse research environments. What is the academic impact? The paper provides a much-needed definition of the Research Project Manager's role, distinguishing it from related roles in the Research Management and Administration (RMA) field. It contributes to RMA and Project management by offering a framework that clarifies the RPM's responsibilities, which have largely been underexplored in academic literature. What is the wider impact? For research and management practitioners, this paper highlights the critical role of RPMs in ensuring Project success, from ideation to execution. It underscores the importance of well-defined project management practices in collaborative research to meet the expectations of funding agencies and ensure scientific outcomes.
