Editorial Review: Product Description: The United States work force consists of over 150,000 research administrators who manage the nations $100 billion annual investment in research and development. Research Administration and Management is written for any individual who is involved in the leadership, development, management and support of this research. This book will guide readers with information and motivation to gain further knowledge and develop their skills as research administrators.

Topics covered throughout this text range from a review of research administration, to the infrastructure necessary to support the research, to project development and post-project plans.
