Research Enterprise Newsletter - January 2008: Education & Training News
Grants & Contracts launches new training portal
In an ongoing effort to streamline and improve customer service, Grants & Contracts Management is launching a new portal for managing our training enterprise, called RATE (Research Administration Training Enterprise). This new portal will allow users to search and register for educational opportunities. You can check your profile to see what training you have attended in the past, and can also find training resources, links, and other educational support. In the future, GCM will be adding online training options so that you can take advantage of our educational opportunities whenever you like. Please log into RATE and check it out. There's a link in RATE so that you can send us an email to let us know what you think. To get to RATE, go to: www4.vanderbilt.edu/oor/gcm/training/.
