Kuali Research Begins to Train the Trainers
Preparing for the January 21, 2020 go-live date, the Kuali Research project team has began to Train-the-Trainers. We are excited to present Kuali Research to research administrators using this and other training opportunities.
What is Train-the-Trainer?
A key principle of the ESR program is to use UC San Diego talent wherever possible. Training is no different. The train-the-trainer approach prepares select subject matter experts (SMEs) who have been selected by project governance to serve as Kuali Research trainers.

Once trained, the SMEs will have the knowledge they need to deliver training to others who will be using Kuali Research. This training method provides hands-on learning opportunities to help increase information retention.
Hands-on learning opportunities will be available before the Kuali Research system goes live through Learning Labs and Office Hours led by the trained SMEs across all areas of campus:
System labs will start in September and run through December.
Learning labs will be held across campus to help reduce the time commitment of traveling to a single location.
Super users, members of the Kuali Research project and client support teams, will have 40 hours of on-site training from Kuali, and department SMEs will receive 20 hours of training covering research administrator-relevant content surrounding the proposal development module.
