Montclair State University is pleased to offer the Society of Research Administrators (SRA) International’s LevelUP program to research administrators, faculty, and staff involved in and/or interested in learning more about grants administration and management.
The LevelUP program consists of self-paced training modules that are approximately 2 to 5 hours in duration on topics most relevant to the modern research administration professional, including pre-award administration, post-award finance, and regulatory and financial compliance. Each module includes an optional, randomized, comprehensive 50-question exam that challenges you to demonstrate your aptitude while reinforcing the lessons and insights contained in the course. The modules can be completed at any time, from any location, and you are awarded micro-credentials and digital badges for successfully passing the module exam.
Additionally, mGuides are compact learning experiences that serve as “how-to” guides for you to understand a specific skill set in a particular area, for example, the NIH R Series or NSF CAREER Proposal. Each guide takes about 1 hour to complete, and there is no assessment.
The LevelUP curriculum can be used to onboard and orient new employees, provide existing employees with a better foundation in research administration, or help fulfill requirements to obtain/maintain professional certification.
There is no cost associated with your participation as Montclair. You may take as many of the available modules as you wish.
If you would like to participate, please contact osp@montclair.edu to obtain an account. If you are unsure of which courses to take and would like some initial guidance, please contact Ted Russo, Director of the Office of Sponsored Programs at russot@montclair.edu.
For existing account holders, please login to the LevelUP Learning Portal to access the site.
There will be two virtual workshops to introduce Montclair users to the platform. Zoom links will be published on this website as the date approaches.
