CLICK HERE to view captioning for this session! 

There is an abundance of information, data, metrics, etc., that may be available and/or useful for institutional leadership to assist them with the leadership of the research mission. But, is there too much information? Or, is there less useful or even useless information? What is important for institutional leadership to know? From a leadership perspective, important questions require exploration, including: 1) What metrics are important?; 2) how are the baseline metrics established?; 3) who collects the information for reporting?; 4) who receives the information and how are they used to affect change?; and 5) how do you catalyze internal and/or external evaluation activities to assess program effectiveness? This session will explore the data/metrics institutional leadership may use to determine resource allocation, set expectations, predict future needs, and measure processes and progress of our research administration and compliance activities.
