RAP and Related Newsletters
Stay current on key research administration updates from ORSP by subscribing to the Research Administration Post (RAP) and related newsletters and browsing newsletter archives.
ORSP sends newsletters monthly and more often, as needed, to update the research administration community on important updates.
The Research Administration Post (RAP) is our primary monthly newsletter to inform the U-M staff and faculty working in research administration about U-M business updates, sponsor and agency news, events, professional development, networking opportunities, and changes in policies and procedures related to grants and sponsored projects.
RAP Immediate Dispatches (RAPids) are sent as needed to help inform the community of breaking news or to highlight important changes.
We also partner with other central offices to send information on Navigate training, eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM) system updates, and Research Administrators’ Network (RAN) meeting announcements.
