OSR Offers 30+ "How to" Zoom Webinars on Foundational Research Administration Topics with Live Q&A.
Effective with the Fall 2024 Quarter (October 1, 2024) many OSR webinars have been incorporated into the Cardinal Research Administration Foundational Training (CRAFT) program. CRAFT Webinar Recordings and Slides can be found on the (CRAFT) program page.
Anyone with an Active SU Net ID is welcome to attend/audit CRAFT webinar courses without registering for them using the ORA Webinar Zoom Link. However, official CRAFT course credit will only be provided in STARS to attendees that register for the relevant CRAFT course(s) thru STARS, attend the full live session for which they are registered, and complete the prescribed independent graded assignment within 2 weeks of attending the live webinar.
The live CRAFT webinars being offered each week are announced via the ORA Updates and SMART email lists.
