 | Andrew B. Rudczynski |
Andrew B. Rudczynski has been named to the newly created post of associate vice president for research administration, effective Sept. 1, President Richard C. Levin has announced.
Rudczynski has served as associate vice president for finance and executive director of research services at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) since 1999. In that role he has been responsible for managing the administrative support for UPenn's sponsored research effort.
The new position was created by Yale to provide more focused responsibility for the University's systems and processes regarding research administration, accounting and improved compliance programs. The position, which reflects recommendations made by an expert outside consultant retained by Yale last year, will report to both the provost and the vice president for finance and administration. (See related story.)
"We are pleased to have Andrew bring his talents and experience to this important new position at Yale," Levin said. "I am confident he will make a major contribution to our efforts to improve our grant and contract administration practices and provide better support to our faculty performing sponsored research."
At Yale, Rudczynski will initially be responsible for oversight of the operations of Grant and Contract Financial Administration and for Research Fiscal Compliance. He will subsequently take responsibility for oversight of the Offices of Faculty of Arts & Sciences Grants and Contracts and the School of Medicine Grants and Contracts. Working with the Provost's Office, he will ultimately assume managerial responsibility for other compliance areas of Yale's grants and contracts, including conflict of interest avoidance, biosafety, animal care and other matters. Consolidation of these functions at Yale is expected to provide more seamless coordination and integration of policies, procedures and reporting systems.
Before joining UPenn, Rudczynski was associate vice president for research policy and administration at Rutgers University, where he was responsible for all aspects of the school's research support, including grant and contract administration, institutional review board, technology transfer and animal care.
Prior to his 16-year career at Rutgers, Rudczynski worked in research administration at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, as a research scientist at the Michigan Cancer Foundation, and as a principal investigator at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
He holds a B.Sc. in biology and biochemistry from McGill; a Ph.D. in immunology from Syracuse; and an M.B.A. from Southern Illinois University.
Rudczynski was a member of the executive committee of the Council on Governmental Relations, chaired its Research Compliance and Administration Committee and was a member of the editorial advisory board of Guide to Managing Federal Grants to Colleges and Universities. He was a charter awardee of the Distinguished Service Award of the National Council of University Research Administrators.
