YOUR IDEAS COULD BE OUR NEXT GREAT SESSION!

We're putting together the program for the 2027 NCURA Region IV Spring Meeting in Cincinnati, and we're still looking for some fabulous ideas!

We're especially hoping to hear from research administrators with experiences to share in:
โ€ข AI, Systems & Data Analytics

โ€ข Federal Regulations & Compliance

Have you navigated a challenge, improved a process, discovered a creative solution, or learned something that could benefit your colleagues? We'd love to hear about it!
You don't have to be an expert or a seasoned presenter. Sometimes the best sessions come from real experiences and conversations about the challenges we face every day!

All research administration topics are welcome, and first-time presenters are encouraged to submit!

TRACK SPOTLIGHT: FEDERAL + COMPLIANCE

Federal requirements, sponsor expectations, and compliance responsibilities are constantly evolving. And research administrators are right in the middle of navigating it all!

Have experience with federal agencies like NIH, NSF, DOE, USDA, or DoD? Maybe you've tackled a compliance challenge, navigated changing regulations, improved a process, or developed strategies that others could learn from.

We want to hear from you!

From federal funding policies and agency updates to research integrity, financial compliance, risk management, and everything in between, there's plenty to talk about!

Whether you're an expert in the field or have practical experiences and lessons learned to share, your perspective could make a fantastic session at the 2027 NCURA Region IV Spring Meeting!

Have you ever thought about presenting at an NCURA meeting, but haven't taken that first step?

Maybe this is your year!

You don't need years of presenting experience or a perfectly polished idea to have something valuable to share. Maybe you've solved a problem, improved a process, learned something the hard way, or have a topic you know would get other research administrators talking.

You don't have to do it alone! Grab a colleague and submit together, or let us know on the proposal form if you'd like help finding a co-presenter.

Every experienced presenter had a first session. We'd love for yours to be in Cincinnati!

Proposals are due October 18, 2026

AI / Systems / Data Analytics Spotlight:

AI / Systems / Data Analytics is a big space, and we want to hear from Region IV members at every level.

Maybe youโ€™ve experimented with AI in your everyday work, improved a workflow, built a better spreadsheet, implemented a new system, created a dashboard, or found a smarter way to use data.

Or maybe this is your area of expertise. We want to hear from you too! Bring us the emerging trends, innovative approaches, big ideas, and expertise that can help research administrators understand where our profession is headed.

Whether youโ€™re sharing something practical that worked for your team or helping us think about whatโ€™s next, your experience is worth sharing.

Proposals are due October 18, 2026

WORKSHOP SPOTLIGHT

Have a topic youโ€™d love to explore beyond a traditional conference session? Take it deeper in Cincinnati!

Weโ€™re looking for presenters interested in leading engaging Half Day or Full Day Workshops at the 2027 NCURA Region IV Spring Meeting.

Workshops give you the time to really dig into a topic, get attendees involved, and create an experience they can learn from and take back to their institutions.

Gather your team and bring your expertise together! Workshops are typically led by 3 to 4 presenters, creating an opportunity to combine different experiences and perspectives into one engaging session.

Proposals are due October 18

๐Ÿ’กYou probably have a presentation idea. You just may not realize it yet!

Think about your everyday work in research administration. What process have you improved? What challenge did you work through? What do colleagues come to you for help with? What have you learned that could make someone elseโ€™s job a little easier?

That could be a session. You donโ€™t need to have all the answers. Bring your experience, your lessons learned, or even a topic that could spark a great conversation.

Proposals are due October 18!
