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

支持赞助计划人员在国家的历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的专业发展有助于国家干企业。北卡罗来纳州支持赞助计划成功（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。 这将提高机构获得联邦研究资金的能力，并使HBCU开展研究的农村和城市社区参与进来。北卡罗来纳州支持赞助计划成功（NC-SSPS）项目将促进变革性想法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民族服务机构，加强国家的研究企业。我们的目标是召集赞助计划专业人士，并支持他们的实践社区（CoP）与HBCUs Inc（NSPAA）的国家赞助计划管理员联盟的合作。与会者将有助于制作一个全州范围的指南，一个标准操作程序手册，每个校园可以定制其使用。NSPAA将通过为与会者提供在会议结束时加入的协会来支持维护CoP。会议的成果包括更多地参与NSPAA的专业知识和研究企业分类组织的工具（授予前，授予后和报告服务），这将加强HBCU的研究企业。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

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.
