Tamara Hill is the Sr. Director for the Cancer & Imaging RAS.  She is one of two individuals who have been selected nationally to participate in the 2017  NCURA Global Fellowship Program.  The NCURA Global Fellowship program is a joint initiative between NCURA and other research administration societies. The Fellowship program has two underlying objectives: (i) the training of research administrators, and (ii) enhancing global research collaboration.  This program is intended to reduce barriers to global research administration and create an administrative environment conducive to global research collaboration.  There is an ever increasing amount of global research collaboration, and this fellowship hopes to create a pool of individuals who are able to interpret a multitude of various sponsor requirements and assist their institution with administrative compliance – from application submission through financial reporting and closeout.

The program will provide Tamara with an opportunity to travel to another country’s research organization and immerse herself in a program of mutual learning and knowledge exchange during a two-week visit. Being selected for this fellowship is a high honor.  Many congratulations to Tamara!
