FRAM-CoP — the Financial Research Administration and Management Community of Practice — is a professional network established under SARIMA to strengthen financial governance, costing, compliance, and post-award management across research institutions in Africa. It brings together research finance officers, grants managers, project administrators, compliance officers, principal investigators, and research support staff around a shared purpose: improving the financial stewardship of research funding through collaboration, shared tools, and peer learning.

Members gain access to shared tools and templates, peer advice and case studies, training webinars, a supportive network across institutions, and a voice in shaping sector-wide financial governance standards.
