Team Mission
To provide robust, agile, and up-to-date training that meets the needs of Harvard’s sponsored research community.
Training Philosophy
University-wide sponsored research training will be provided and categorized into four primary buckets based on content, delivery method, and level of content. The buckets, intended audiences, and sample courses are outlined below.
Over the next 15-18 months, all training content will be assessed, refreshed, and redesigned to align with these buckets. Schools and departments will still be responsible for school-specific processes and tool training.
Team Initiatives
- Develop & maintain innovative training resources for research administrators
- Partner with subject matter experts
- Stay up-to-date on training and educational software
- Coordinate and moderate live virtual training sessions
Training “Bucket” Organization
Training Development
The Training Development team collected data from virtual interviews with members of the research community, survey results from over 100 participants across the university, outside experts and consultants, and peer benchmarking observations. The table below outlines the four main training buckets, as well as their target pupils, some sample courses for each bucket, and the intended delivery method.
