Faculty Administrator Collaboration Team (FACT)

FACT brings together paired institutional representatives for focused dialogue and joint efforts to enhance faculty-administrator collaborations that support successful research operations and reduce administrative burden.

Purpose

  • Leverage the unique opportunity provided by FDP membership and meetings, where Faculty and Administrators attend together, to enhance organizational faculty-administrator collaboration for successful research operations
  • Establish ongoing and focused dialogue between faculty and administrators attending FDP and initiate collaborative projects to advance efforts to achieve cross institutional research goals
  • Explore the faculty-administrator collaboration as a vital partnership in support of both the work at FDP Member organizations and throughout FDP, as well as provide FDP an opportunity to better understand and enhance it
  • Utilize the wide variety of structures and types of FDP member organizations to inform best practices discussions and future projects within the FACT initiative.
