Mission
The Group on Research Advancement and Development (GRAND) is an
AAMC professional development group for Research Deans and Deans
of Clinical Research. The mission of GRAND is to provide a national
forum for the promotion, support, development, and conduct of biomedical
research in medical schools and teaching hospitals, through the
exchange of information and the examination of issues critical to
the research enterprise.
Background
At the request of a group of research deans, the AAMC organized
a meeting in 1999 to discuss important issues in support, management,
and oversight of biomedical research. The meeting was well attended
and the research deans were very enthusiastic about forming a permanent
professional development group with AAMC. The group named itself
the Group on Research Advancement and Development (GRAND). In September
2002, the AAMC Executive Council formally approved designation of
GRAND, noting that no other national organization similarly meets
the professional development needs of the research deans. GRAND
has met each year since 1999, focusing on issues critical to the
advancement of research at medical schools and teaching hospitals.
The meetings have been organized by an active and engaged Steering
Committee. In addition, the Group maintains an active listserv that
provides a useful source of information, as well as advice, on best
practices in research administration and policy.
