Future of the Field

2025 SRAI Future of the Field Applications are Open!

SRAI Future of the Field program aims to highlight the ‘up-and-comers’ of Research Administration -- those leading their peers and institutions, evolving status quo, and innovating ways that advance the field. These are the individuals who will drive Research Administration forward in the decades to come!
