The 2020 National RAC and TRB State Representatives meeting will be virtual. Sessions are scheduled from 12:30pm-4pm ET so that the majority of our time zones will be reasonable to attend. Everyone interested in Research Management or any of the session topics is encouraged to attend with the exception of Monday, July 20, RAC Chat. The Monday, Tuesday, Thursday sessions (except RAC Chat) will use the same Microsoft Teams Meeting link. The Wednesday sessions (Sweet Sixteen and two TRB sessions) require separate registration.
