More Classes Added and Deadline Extended
Many administrators have not started the required Research Administration at the U (RAU) curriculum. In an effort to allow research administrators to successfully complete it, we have added additional classes and extended the deadline date to complete the mandatory program. The deadline date has been extended to August 31, 2023. These measures will allow individuals who have not started the curriculum to complete the program and maintain their system statuses. As I am sure you already know, new and current staff in a research administration role are required to complete the mandatory training courses of the RAU curriculum. Non-compliance will lead to loss of system access to IBISResearch, Workday Grants and other research-related systems.
Upon completion of the RAU curriculum participants will have a better understanding of research administration at the University of Miami and the tools to better manage day-to-day work tasks more effectively. In addition, participants will gain a better understanding of how their work affects compliance, reporting and the entire research enterprise at the University of Miami.
For more information about the RAU Curriculum, please visit the web page. To register for classes, visit Ulearn.

Friday, February 3, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Florida International University After the 1959 Cuban Revolution, hundreds of thousands of Cuban refugees came to Miami. With this influx, the city's health care system was overwhelmed, not just by the number of patients but also by the differences in culture. Mainstream medicine was often inaccessible or inadequate to Miami’s growing community of Latin American and Caribbean immigrants. Instead, many sought care from alternative, often unlicensed, health practitioners. This Dialogue addresses the history of how an exceptionally diverse medical scene would catch the attention of medical social scientists at the University of Miami School of Medicine, who established Miami's multiethnic population as a laboratory for cross-cultural care and, indeed, global health.
Dr. Catherine Mas is an assistant professor of history at Florida International University. Her recently published book, Culture in the Clinic: Miami and the Making of Modern Medicine (UNC Press, 2022), examines Miami as a locus for global thinking and cross-cultural care in the late twentieth century. Her research was supported by the Goizueta Foundation, which enabled her to conduct extensive archival research at the University of Miami's Cuban Heritage Collection and many of the university's other special collections.
This seminar will be hybrid.
Location:Don Soffer Clinical Research Center, Room 1270A; a light lunch will be provided.
Register to participate via Zoom.
