This paper expands a Delphi study previously reported in an article entitled “Research Administration as a Living System” that was published by the Journal of Research Administration (Cole, 2007). A second Delphi study was undertaken to obtain the perspective of research administrators in an attempt to identify the future direction of research administration and to identify ways for building stronger working relationships between research faculty and research administrators. In this way viewpoints were compared and a determination made as to collective concerns, points of agreement, and disagreement. Also, by obtaining an understanding of the nature of research administration, adding theories of change, and identifying methods of implementing organizational change, a model for reframing or restructuring research administration into a living system is created.
