He succeeds Gunta Liders, who is retired after supporting and expanding the University\u2019s research mission for over 20 years.<\/h2>\n

Anthony Beckman, who has been serving as the interim associate vice president for research administration for the\u00a0Office of Research and Project Administration (ORPA)<\/strong><\/a>, has been named the\u00a0Ä¢¹½´«Ã½<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s associate vice president for research administration, succeeding Gunta Liders, who announced her retirement at the end of 2024. Beckman\u2019s appointment is effective July 1.<\/p>\n

Beckman has been involved in sponsored projects at the University for over 20 years, serving as a research study and program project coordinator and a department administrator with clinical and research management responsibilities. He is a co-presenter for the Continuous Learning for Administrators of Sponsored Programs (CLASP) program, which was initiated by Liders, for all Rochester administrators who have functional responsibility for sponsored projects. Additionally, Beckman leads the monthly Integrated Online Research Administration (IORA) user group meetings.<\/p>\n

Beckman has been a coauthor of several peer-reviewed publications and has authored and coauthored articles for the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) Magazine<\/em>. He is a NCURA Executive Leadership Program graduate, has served as chair of the NCURA professional development committee, has presented at national conferences, and is a faculty member of the Contract Negotiation and Management traveling workshop.<\/p>\n

During Liders\u2019 four decades of service to the institution, she has served the research community in almost every role, beginning in 1987 as a department research administrator and culminating as ORPA\u2019s leader. Through her mentorship, Liders\u2019 team has developed to be nationally recognized leaders in the field of research administration, clinical research billing compliance and export controls. Among her many accolades, Liders received the 2024 Susan B. Anthony Lifetime Achievement Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Liders and her team have been instrumental in growing sponsored program funding from $196 million in 2000 to over $476 million in 2023. With the development of the CLASP program, she and her team have enhanced research compliance across the institution.<\/p>\n

At the national level, Liders has been the University\u2019s primary representative to the Council of Governmental Relations, serving in several leadership positions. She has also served as secretary for the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA), where she has been a peer reviewer for several years.<\/p>\n
