SRA International Education Division

Certificate Programs

The Society of Research Administrators International maintains 11 certificate programs encompassing every aspect of Research Administration – Hospitals, Universities, Non-Profits and Commercial Institutions. SRA’s certificate programs offer comprehensive training specific to today’s educational needs of research administrators.

The curriculum for each program includes a required half-day or full-day workshop, and four (4) to eight (8) required sessions, which are held at various SRA meetings throughout the year.

New guidelines were adopted to standardize and coordinate the development and delivery of certificate programs.

Certificate program course credit is earned and awarded only if full SRA International membership is in effect at the time the course is taken. A member may let his/her membership lapse during the course of taking a certificate program, but educational credit is awarded only when full SRA membership is in effect. In other words, only full members may receive credit for taking certificate program workshops and sessions; affiliate members, non-members and those with a lapsed membership will not receive educational credit for any certificate program sessions or workshops taken during the time full membership is not in effect.
SRA members have up to three years, instead of two, to complete certificate program requirements, allowing greater flexibility to manage time, travel and budget constraints.

SRA’s 11 Certificate Programs are:

Clinical Trials Research Administration 101
Clinical Trials Research Administration 201
Financial Management
Grantsmanship
Human Research Protections
Introduction to Research Administration and Management
Leadership
National Institutes of Health Grants
Research Integrity
Research Law
The Practice of Research Administration and Management

For the required curriculum associated with each Certificate Program, please review the SRA Certificate Program Course Outlines.

New change to Clinical Trials 201 enrollment requirement: SRA members may now take an advanced placement test for Clinical Trials 101 in lieu of taking Clinical Trials 101 before enrolling in Clinical Trials 201. Please contact SRA's Nora Potter for details.
