BRINK: Building Research Infrastructure, Networking and KnowledgeMichigan Research and Development Network (MiRAD)

Research Administrators and Research Development (RAD) professionals are critical human infrastructure; they are integral to advancing research enterprises, supporting collaboration across diverse research disciplines and assisting faculty at all stages of their careers.

The Michigan Research and Development Network (MiRAD) is a grass-roots effort to connect diverse RAD professionals from Michigan-based colleges and universities to develop strong mentoring and professional relationships, collaborate on opportunities to build research capacity across the state of Michigan, share knowledge and creative solutions, and assist other institutions in replicating and implementing positive change in the research community. MiRAD's philosophy is to share best practices, resources, and opportunities across Michigan’s growing research enterprise.

MiRAD and The Beacon newsletter are components of an NSF Growing Research Access for Nationally Transformative Equity and Diversity (GRANTED) project - one of 25 piloted nationally.We hope you participate in the MiRAD network and encourage your RAD colleagues to join us as well.
