Significant changes to the research landscape at research institutions will require significant adaptation by research administrators to ensure strong support of the research and related endeavors at our institutions. The RM2025 program committee is looking for traditional elements of professional development and training in research administration while also looking to create a strong programmatic core that has an emphasis on practical implementation of policies, processes and strategic approaches to ensure that administrators who attend the meeting will return to their institutions better equipped to navigate our evolving landscape and provide a benefit to their institutions.
