Kudos Korner | Rebecca Claycamp
SRA International members rock! As research management and administration professionals, they never stop improving, learning, achieving, or earning new heights of success. We love sharing good news and offering a well-deserved slap on the back for recent personal and/or professional achievement. In keeping with that sentiment, please join with us as we congratulate
Rebecca Claycamp on her retirement and new home state!
SRA International is a professional networking community of learners. One way to gain knowledge and expertise is to share our stories of successful achievements with our peers and colleagues. Often research managers/administrators are cast in the role of promoting, supporting and applauding others. While this may be gratifying in many respects, it is also healthy to have pride in one’s own accomplishments. Kudos Korner offers SRA International members a wonderful and respectful venue for sharing and “bragging.”
Transitions: Retirement and Relocation
Rebecca Claycamp, MS, CRA
Chief Grants Management Officer
National Institute of Mental Health
SRAI member since 1986
At the end of March 2020, Rebecca Claycamp will be departing from the National Institute of Mental Health where she has been the Chief Grants Management Officer since 2003. Rebecca joined the National Institutes of Health in 2001 after serving in departmental and central research administration positions for 19 years at the University of Kansas (Institute of Economic and Business Research), the University of Iowa (Sponsored Programs) and the University of Pittsburgh (Assistant Chair of Chemistry). The unique nature of her background has exposed Rebecca her to a wide array of complex issues in grants compliance and oversight, risk assessment, and grantee-sponsor interactions. In FY2019 alone, she was responsible for the award and oversight of over $1.6 billion in grants and other transaction authorities. After the family relocates to Texas, she intends to consult and find a new research home.
Rebecca’s contributions to research administration have been recognized both by NIH and SRAI. She is an SRAI Distinguished Faculty Member and currently is actively engaged with SRAI’s LevelUP Micro-Credentialing Program.
Join us as we wish Rebecca happiness and success in this next chapter of her journey.
