RA@UVA Research Administration Training Program
RA@UVA is a comprehensive training program in development for research administrators across the University of Virginia. The program introduces key concepts, processes, and resources that support the research administration lifecycle and helps build knowledge for professionals working in research administration roles.
Now Available: Module 1
Introduction to Research Administration and the Award Lifecycle at UVA
The first module of RA@UVA is now available in Workday Learning. This foundational course introduces participants to research administration at UVA and provides an overview of the award lifecycle.
Launch Module 1 in Workday Learning
Note: The training opens in a new browser tab and requires you to login with NetBadge credentials.
Future Modules
Additional modules are currently under development and will be announced as they become available.
Curriculum:
The curriculum will ultimately combine SRAI LevelUP courses with UVA-developed training modules to provide both high-level and detailed guidance for research administrators.
We already have an Institutional License with SRAI LevelUP!
This means you can begin taking any of the content they offer now. Please note, there is a manual process to be added to a master participant list, so see below for "How to Access."
How to access:
Access to the SRAI LevelUP modules is available to anyone with a UVA email address! Members of the OSP Spotlight contact list have already been added, in order to streamline this process. Once you have read all the instructions below, please check to see if you have access and if not, reach out for help.
How to review the SRAI LevelUP Modules:
The SRAI Learner Dashboard is where the LevelUP modules are housed. The learner dashboard is located here.
Users should bookmark the learner dashboard in Chrome. Please note that some users have experienced issues trying to log in via Microsoft Edge; Chrome is the preferred browser.
Additional Notes on Access:
- Users who previously had access to the modules should have received automatic renewal of their LevelUP access. If you are experiencing trouble logging in and you know you had access to the SRAI LevelUP modules previously, please follow the instructions to reset your password. If you are using Chrome, and have reset your password, and are still experiencing issues logging in, please reach out for help.
- Remember that if you have an existing SRAI membership account, you should be accessing the LevelUP modules using the same email address that is tied to your existing SRAI account.
- Please note that the main SRAI website does not redirect to the learner dashboard, and the modules free to you are not available on the main SRAI website. If you try to log into the learner dashboard and are redirected to the main SRAI website, you likely need to be manually added to the list of participants. We can help with that!
If you experience challenges logging into the site, or are a new user who needs access, please email Lauren Armstrong at [email protected], Alex Torres at [email protected], or Jaime Petrasek at [email protected].
Attend bi-monthly LevelUp Study Group sessions, hosted by RAPTR!
Also starting in January, these sessions are highly recommended to:
- Establish a schedule for working through the LevelUp modules.
- Reinforce what you're learning in the modules.
- Connect with other Research Administrators across grounds.
- Stay motivated!
