The mission of NORDP is to advance the global capacity for and impact of research by strengthening the practice and profession of research development.

NORDP fosters a culture of inclusive excellence by actively promoting and supporting diversity, inclusion and equity in all its forms to expand our worldview, enrich our work, and elevate our profession.

2021 NORDP Year in Review: June 23 at Noon ET

Join NORDP's Board of Directors to learn what our organization has accomplished this year, and where we're headed in 2022. In previous years, this event was known as the "annual business meeting."  We first moved this event online in 2020, and we enjoyed record attendance then - so we're keeping the meeting virtual! This webinar is limited to members only.
