With the recent rise in research education expectations from some Federal sponsors, in response many institutions of higher learning have sought outside support for the training needs.

The Academy of Research Education (ARED) was launched in 2024 as an initiative of the Office of the Vice President for Research in response to interest from colleagues to participate in the University of Utah’s Office of Research Education (REd).

Established in 2004, REd has been a leader in providing high-quality training for faculty, staff, and students in numerous topics including research ethics, responsible conduct or research, research mentoring, data management, research development, and grant writing.
