One funeral was for a life well-lived for the other, all would say that there was much more living to do. In the latter, as a result of medical research, my friend was with the world for around about a year longer than he would have been without. Shortly after those funerals, two medical researchers, who have undertaken landmark research into melanoma, were recognised as joint Australians of the Year.</span> </p><p style="margin:0;font-size:14px;mso-line-height-alt:14.399999999999999px"> </p><p style="margin:0;font-size:14px;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> <span style="font-size:14px;">Funerals are a time of reflection, as is the beginning of each year. We approach it with excitement and some trepidation - will it be the year that we achieve those goals and dreams, be they personal or professional? As a consequence, I have been reflecting that research is about <strong>"hope"</strong>. </span></p></div></div></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-5" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff;border-radius:0;color:#000;width:775px;margin:0 auto" width="775"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;vertical-align:top;border-top:0;border-right:0;border-bottom:0;border-left:0"><table class="text_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;word-break:break-word"><tr><td class="pad"><div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div class style="font-size:14px;font-family:Montserrat,Trebuchet MS,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Tahoma,sans-serif;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px;color:#555;line-height:1.2"><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">Regardless of the type of research our institutions and researchers undertake, the hope is for that a new discovery, that fundamental truth, that impactful piece of applied research. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> Overall, the hope is that it will make a difference through an original contribution to knowledge in the field or through a change in the environment, industry, communities, the economy or society. By extension, as Research Management Professionals, we are deeply connected to this perspective that research is about "hope", which should be and must be intrinsically positive. My point is let's start this year (or at least the remaining 10 months of it) with a mindset of making a positive and impactful contribution in supporting and enabling research at our institutions. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> This year is very significant one for ARMS. It marks 25 years of research management excellence! Twenty five years ago, the Society was established by a hopeful and very forward-looking few. Look at us today!! Our Standing Committees and Chapters will be working to identify some special celebratory initiatives throughout the year and at our annual conference in Darwin. Please see our special logo above and feel free to add it to your signature blocks in celebration of this milestone! </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">On Board matters, the ARMS Board commenced the year with an induction and full Board meeting on the 1st and 2nd of February. We thank RMIT for providing the venue for our meeting. The main items of business covered include the upcoming review of our Strategic Plan, our member engagement strategies; marketing and communications and revisions to our By-Laws. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> Member engagement will be very important for us this year. A reminder to connect with ARMS members across the geographic remit of the Society via the Skills Network – Please see more details below. I will be travelling to Singapore in May for an event run by the Singapore Chapter including a number of engagement visits to key stakeholders in the region. This follows from the very successful NZ visit in August last year where it was fabulous to meet with many Research Management Professionals from many research institutions and learn much more about the NZ research and innovation agenda. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> Ultimately engagement starts with you - I am really keen to see many in-person events across our Chapters and look forward to hearing about them in the near future especially those in the first few months of the year. And as you know, the standout engagement event is the annual conference, which this year is in <strong>Darwin</strong>. In that regard, the call for abstracts for presentations and posters is now open and closes 12 April 2024. Opportunities are also available to support your attendance via Chapter Travel Awards (opening soon) and Indigenous/First Nations Conference Travel Award - see article below for full details. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> And why not get involved in ARMS in 2024! We are currently seeking volunteer members to join a range of Standing Committees. Applications are being accepted from members who would like to contribute to our Education and professional Development Committee (EPDC); Governance, Finance and Audit Committee (GFAC); and Conferences and Major Events Committee. Please refer to article in this newsletter. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">On the topic of the Strategic Plan, the Board has recently put out a call seeking an independent Facilitator who will help guide discussions for the development of the next iteration of our Strategic Plan at a Strategic Planning Day of the Board in May. If this is something you can assist with or know someone who is experienced in providing this professional service, please pass on our call - see full details below. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> Our <a href="https://www.researchmanagement.org.au/sites/default/files/uploaded-content/website-content/arms_2023_membersreport_230124.pdf" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #f7931e;">Report to Members</a> for period ending June 2023 was disseminated early last month. This report captures all of the achievement of the Society against our strategic priorities in support of our missions and goals. It shows how much we as a community have done for us as a community – I thank everyone who has contributed and have been involved in its production.</p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> We previously advised that ARMS has joined forces with the Australian Council of Graduate research to re-launch the <a href="https://www.researchmanagement.org.au/australasian-research-training-network-artn" style="text-decoration: underline; color: #f7931e;">Australasian Research Training Network (ARTN)</a>. We are delighted to advise that ARTN will be hosting its first webinar on 25 March - Please refer to article below. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">As well as our Chapters, our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are a core element of what we do – it is through these that we develop communities of practice, share our experiences and debate hot topics and emerging areas in research management. Following from the Conference, there was a lot of interest in new SIGs being developed – we seek your involvement. Please see article the below. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">Finally, 2024 is also likely to bring significant policy and
