What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
As the institution or research manager, I basically deal with all types of data regarding the institution. I can do projects on my own based on things that I see the institution may need or where we can improve.
This could be in regards to medical education or funding. It could also be someone needing help with data analysis, data gathering, or data dashboards.
I deal with Excel about 90% of my day. The other part is mostly just putting the data together so that people are able to digest and understand it.
