Although relatively “new” as a formal discipline in the Research Administration world, Research Development (RD) has been around in varying forms and functions for a long time. Much of what RD is depends on an institution’s size and type, needs and experiences within an organization, and its faculty. In this Coffee Talk, we will discuss what RD is and how it exists at different institutions, how it differs from pre-award functions (and is the same, too) and best practices from incorporating RD into your role, interfacing with your RD office, starting an office from scratch, to evolving a research office into something more.
