Consider attending these two grant-funded professional development opportunities coming up the week of March 11, 2024 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Travel stipends are available for those in need (see here for the research analytics travel stipend and here for the responsible research evaluation forum travel stipend).
If you only register for one-consider attending the other meeting and maximizing your travel budget! Remember, registration is separate for each meeting. See details below! While the agenda for each meeting are still in flux, we plan to go for two-full days for each meeting.
Our call for proposals is still open for the Research Analytics Summit-consider submitting a proposal today!

This first-of-its-kind, two-day summit will focus on Research Analytics for research administration. Research Analytics uses data to inform strategic planning in research development and related business processes. While administrators typically work with data capture and management systems, Research Analytics tools can go further, helping an institution set metrics for evaluation and benchmarking; build models; identify trends and gaps; and triangulate with external data to support decision making that promotes growth and optimization of their research enterprise. As applied to research administration, this field is in its infancy-professionals working in this space are often never explicitly trained in data analysis or business intelligence systems. The summit will provide an opportunity for interested research support professionals at all levels to come together to learn specific technical skills, network, build best practices, and create a community of practice. Participants are invited from research-intensive institutions, with a special focus on emerging research institutions and minority-serving institutions such as HBCUs, Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Hispanic-serving institutions.
This summit is funded through a grant from the National Science Foundation's GRANTED Program (#2324388).

This two-day, in-person forum hosted by the University of Kentucky, Virginia Tech University, and the International Network of Research Management Societies' Research Evaluation Group brings together a broad range of experts and practitioners to work toward better, fairer, and more meaningful research evaluation. While traditional evaluation focuses on citation counts or grant income-based metrics, relying on such limited indicators can negatively affect the research ecosystem at higher education institutions by distorting the academic incentive structure, creating unsustainable pressures on researchers, reducing the diversity of the research mission, and potentially compromising research integrity. This forum will present the SCOPE framework as a better way to evaluate research impact and quality. Librarians, researchers, bibliometricians, and research managers will convene to provide formal training in responsible evaluation methods and explore how to use value-led evaluation for strategic research management. To ensure sustainability and a community of practice beyond the project period, the forum will be followed by four virtual sessions throughout the year inviting participants to share how they are piloting the responsible evaluation methods framework at their institutions.
This meeting is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grant program (LG-254850-OLS-23).
