Collaborative Research: Conference: Convenings to Develop GRANTS MADE: Grant and Research Administration Networking and Training for Students at Maryland and Delaware MSIs

通过一系列的会议和最后的研讨会，该项目开发了一个区域管道计划的最佳实践，以建立七个四年制少数民族服务机构（MSIs）在马里兰州和特拉华州的学生在研究管理实习。实习将使学生获得经验和熟悉研究管理作为职业途径。通过招聘和留住下一代研究管理人员，该实习计划有助于扩大和多样化的研究管理人员队伍，并建立研究能力，同时建立一个模型，其他机构可以遵循。该项目支持的一系列会议使多个利益攸关方社区参与合作、伙伴关系驱动的进程。区域会议汇集了来自七个马里兰州和特拉华州MSIs的学生实习生和研究领导者，管理人员和校园专业人士，以确定如何促进研究管理学生作为一个职业机会。国家会议汇集了研究管理专业协会的成员，讨论如何最好地培养学生，以满足更广泛的研究管理工作队伍的需求。在最后的研讨会上，与会者和学生实习生最终确定开发区域研究管理实习计划的最佳实践。除了最终的白色文件，参与者和学生实习生包括作为共同研究人员在区域和国家会议和研究管理期刊论文的演示文稿和研讨会。这些成果为在其他大学建立和扩大可持续的、可复制的和可扩展的实习项目指明了方向，进一步为研究管理建立公平和包容的环境。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

Through a series of convenings and a final symposium, this project develops best practices for a regional pipeline program to establish internships in research administration for students of the seven four-year Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in Maryland and Delaware. The internships will allow students to gain experience and familiarity with research administration as a career pathway. By recruiting and retaining the next generation of research administrators, this internship program helps expand and diversify the research administration workforce and builds research capacity, while establishing a model that other institutions can follow. The series of convenings supported by this project engage multiple stakeholder communities in a collaborative, partnerships-driven process. Regional convenings bring together student interns and research leaders, administrators, and campus professionals from across the seven Maryland and Delaware MSIs to identify ways to promote research administration to students as a career opportunity. National convenings bring together members of professional societies in research administration to discuss how best to train students to meet the needs of the broader research administration workforce. In a final symposium, participants and student interns finalize best practices for developing the regional research administration internship program. In addition to a culminating white paper, participants and student interns are included as co-researchers on presentations and workshops at regional and national conferences and papers for research administration journals. These deliverables chart a course for establishing and expanding sustainable, replicable, and scalable internship programs at other universities, to further build equitable and inclusive environments for research administration.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.
