Conference: North Carolina Supporting Sponsored Program Success (NC-SSPS)

支持全国历史悠久的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)赞助项目人员的专业发展，为国家STEM事业做出贡献。北卡罗来纳州支持的赞助项目成功(NC-SSPS)项目支持来自北卡罗来纳州公共和私营HBCU的36名研究企业人员参加为期两天的会议，重点是加强研究企业基础设施。这将提高获得联邦研究资金的机构能力，并使HBCU开展研究的农村和城市社区参与进来。北卡罗来纳州支持的赞助项目成功(NC-SSPS)项目将促进变革思想和可扩展模式的发展，通过提高能力和获得研究支持和服务基础设施，特别是在新兴的研究和少数群体服务机构，加强国家的研究事业。其目标是召集赞助项目专业人员，并支持他们与HBCU Inc.(NSPAA)国家赞助项目管理员联盟(NSPAA)的实践社区(COP)接触。与会者将为制作全州指南做出贡献，这是一本标准操作程序手册，每个校园都可以根据自己的使用进行定制。NSPAA将通过提供一个协会，让与会者在会议结束时加入，从而支持维持缔约方会议。会议的成果包括更多地利用NSPAA的专业知识和按研究企业分类组织的工具(获奖前、获奖后和报告服务)，这将加强HBCUS的研究企业。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Supporting the professional development of sponsored program personnel at the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) contributes to the national STEM enterprise. The North Carolina-Supporting Sponsored Program Success (NC-SSPS) project supports thirty-six research enterprise personnel from the public and private HBCUs across North Carolina to attend a two-day conference focused on enhancing research enterprise infrastructure. This will increase the institutional capability to access federal research funding and to engage the rural and urban communities where HBCUs conduct research. The North Carolina-Supporting Sponsored Program Success (NC-SSPS) project will catalyze the development of transformative ideas and a scalable model to strengthen the Nation’s research enterprise by growing capability and access to research support and service infrastructure particularly at emerging research and minority-serving institutions. The goal is to convene sponsored programs professionals and support their community of practice (CoP) engagement with the National Sponsored Programs Administrators Alliance of HBCUs Inc (NSPAA). Conference participants will contribute to the production of a statewide guidebook, a Standard Operating Procedures manual that each campus can customize for its use. NSPAA will support maintaining the CoP by offering an association for attendees to join at the conclusion of the conference. The outcomes of the conference include increased engagement with the expertise of NSPAA and tools organized by research enterprise classification (pre-award, post-award, and reporting services) that will strengthen the research enterprise at HBCUs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
