Continuing Education
In support of ORA's mission to provide collaborative administrative support, efficient systems, and technical expertise, ORA professionals are required to engage in at least 15 hours of continuing education each fiscal year, 12 hours of which must fall within the lifecycle of research administration. Engagement in continuing education ensures ORA staff are current with industry trends while positioning ORA staff to successfully support Emory's research enterprise.
ORA's Continuing Education Policy outlines the policy's applicability, requirements, ways to meet the requirement, how to track continuing education hours, and how to document and report hours.
The ORA Continuing Education Contact Hours Tracking Log is a downloadable Excel form for tracking hours by fiscal year. Download the log by selecting FILE -> SAVE AS -> DOWNLOAD AS A COPY.
Supervisors can access the Quarterly Training Dashboard to review training completion and participation data for their teams. The dashboard is updated each quarter and will be available within five business days after the new quarter begins.
