This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Annemieke Farenhorst, Associate Vice-President (Research)

Dear ADRs/RLOs,

The Office of the Associate Vice President (Research) invites faculty to join the Best Practices in Research Management Workshop Serieshttps://umanitoba.ca/research/opportunities-support/best-practices-research-management.

All new faculty members are encouraged to enroll in this workshop series, and we also encourage you to circulate this more broadly within your faculty because any of the sessions offered can serve as a valuable refresher for those looking to revisit best practices in research management.

The Series consists of 4 core and 4 optional sessions as shown below. You may register in only 1 session, as per your interest and needs. All sessions will be conducted virtually through Microsoft Teams. Each session will be offered twice a year to give participants the flexibility to choose the date that works best for them.

If a participant attends four core sessions and one optional session over a two-year period, they will receive a completion letter that could be included in a tenure and promotion file as an example of professional growth in research management.

If you are interested in registering for one or more sessions, please complete the registration formhttps://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=C92AT4wzTE6KFJBEaWL3uMFUk1BEFVhNvMlPGn1XJ8VUMlQzTjZDUFFDSFpFRjBSSEkwVDFMSDBVTC4u by Wednesday, October 8, 2025. When you are registered, we will be able to keep you informed about the sessions as needed, including session links and presentation slides.
