RAAAP-2 (Research Administration as a Profession - INORMS follow on project to RAAAP)
Following on fro the orgiginal NCURA funded RAAAP project the RAAAP Taskforce was formed in October 2018 by the INORMS Council. It includes many members involved in the initial (2016) RAAAP exercise, and has expanded to include representation from each of the 19 INORMS Associations.
The aim of the RAAAP Taskforce is to continue the work of the initial RAAAP survey, by surveying Research Managers and Administrators every few years, to collect and analyse longitudinal data about the profession. The Taskforce is also responsible for revising the initial survey and editing future iterations of the survey, as required.
The Surveys
The RAAAP survey now comprises two main sections. One section of the survey is a streamlined version of the original 2016 survey. This section is intended to remain the same longitudinally. The other section of the survey focuses on a specific area of interest, of particular relevance at the time – the focus of this section will change with each iteration of the survey.
- RAAAP-2 (2019): The second iteration of the RAAAP survey (RAAAP-2) was launched on 1 October 2019 and closed on 13 December 2019. The ‘guest’ section of the survey focused on “Research Impact”.
- RAAAP (2016): The first iteration of the RAAAP survey attracted responses from 2,691 individuals from 64 countries. The survey’s findings were presented at RM and INORMS conferences between 2016 and 2018. The 'guest' section of the original survey focused on the skills that RMAs have and need.
