In recent years, the federal government and private industry have entrusted universities to manage a considerable portion of their research portfolio. Many, but certainly not all, university research administrators come from the faculty ranks, and many have little or no formal training in this role. More often than not, they learn the profession "on the job." Some facets of research administration simply require either "common sense" or personal experience as a
research-active faculty member. However, there are many other aspects that benefit from formal training. These include the historical and legal background behind many institutional and federal policies and regulations. Managing the Research University aims to fill that void by providing a comprehensive
background and discussion of the issues and challenges of managing a university's research enterprise. It provides a thorough background to research administration, covering all of the main issues confronting academic research administrators.

Zielgruppe

Anyone involved directly or indirectly in research administration. Within academe, chief research officers, provosts, their associates, deans, center and institute directors, and department chairs. Industry and government officials who oversee grants and contracts with academic institutions may also find this book interesting. It will provide them with a comprehensive overview of academic research from the university's perspective. Also suited as a higher education textbook. By presenting the professional standards of academic research administration, it provides a good didactic introduction to the field. It could be required reading for either advanced undergraduates or graduate students in higher education administration or research management in a college of education or business school, respectively. The book may also be a supplementary resource for research administration workshops.
