How does the ORSPA web site work? What can it do for me?
The ORSPA web site is located at http://researchadmin.asu.edu. The ORSPA web site supports ORSPA's goals by providing research administration resources to assist faculty, staff, and students. As a staff member, you will be able to log into the site. Logging in will allow you to access more resources than the general public can access. This includes the ORSPA intranet, which contains resources just for ORSPA staff.
What is research administration all about?
See The Story of Professor Patti and Professor Paul, a comical 20-minute presentation that follows two fictional researchers and their research project.
