JHU Existing Staff Program: 2024

Introduction

Several years ago, Johns Hopkins adapted the Research Administration Training Program, for existing staff at the university to gain a practical understanding of sponsored research administration. An executive committee oversees the program and is made up of senior leaders across the university representing research administration, business offices, and departments.

Employee Incentives and Benefits

Upon successful completion of the program, participants will:

  • Have a better understanding of research administration and the organization and responsibilities of various research administration areas at Johns Hopkins
  • Establish a network of colleagues with cross-divisional offices
  • Be prepared to test for the national Certificate in Research Administration (CRA) exam (application cost to be covered by the business office where employed)
  • Receive an additional year of experience applied toward minimum qualifications

Selection Process

  • Candidates need to have 2 years minimum JHU experience in research administration
  • Preferred candidates will have an undergraduate degree, however, years of experience may be substituted on a case by case basis
  • Candidates must have successfully completed the 6 Basic core e-courses in “workshop one” of the Financial/SAP training program. See our Curriculum page for details
