Title: “Best Practices” in Electronic Research Administration for Small<br />

and Mid Sized Institutions: Selected Phase I Results<br />

Abstract:<br />

As a part <strong>of</strong> an NIH SBIR award to Research and Management Systems, the authors conducted a<br />

review <strong>of</strong> three universities recognized as leaders in eRA. <strong>The</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> the study is to develop<br />

an understanding <strong>of</strong> the leading institutions’ approach to eRA planning, systems and s<strong>of</strong>tware,<br />

staffing and other practices used in moving their eRA efforts forward. <strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> the research is<br />

to describe and characterize common principles and conditions that may contribute to success for<br />

these institutions. In the second phase <strong>of</strong> this study, the authors reviewed several small and mid<br />

sized institutions that have completed or are in the process <strong>of</strong> implementing eRA systems to identify<br />

“lessons learned” from those implementations. By examining what happens in small and mid<br />

sized institutions, one can begin to describe 1) the extent to which the principles and practices<br />

identified in leading institutions are applicable in a small and mid sized institution setting, and 2)<br />

implications for government-wide plans for universal electronic submission.<br />
