Business & Research Administrators information Network (BRAiN)


Mission

The mission of the Business & Research Administrators’ information Network (BRAiN) is to bring together individuals from the University of Florida business, human resources, and research administration community for participation in open forum discussions on non-health science topics which overlap many UF offices. BRAiN will support and foster the field of research by sharing knowledge and experiences of best practices for those in research administration, supervisors of research administrators, and business, or human resource colleagues of research administrators.
