The Research Administration as a Profession (RAAAP) Survey – 2025

The Research Administration as a Profession (RAAAP) longitudinal survey, asks questions about your experience as a research manager / research administrator, your most recent role, how you entered the field, your experience of research impact and engagement, and demographics (on your educational background, the country where you work, your age range, and gender).

This is the fourth iteration of the survey and focusses on “Professional Identity”.  The survey is due to open in October and a link will be available here when the survey is live.  In the meantime you can view these pages to learn more about the previous surveys and how to access the anonymised datasets – or for more information visit the dedicated RAAAP website (https://sites.google.com/view/raaap).
