Conference: Growing the Research Administrative Infrastructure to Support EPSCoR (RAISE) - Vermont

该项目名为“支持佛蒙特州EPSCoR的研究管理基础设施(RAISE-VT)”，将找出增加研究企业研究能力的方法，以吸引有才华的STEM毕业生留在佛蒙特州，吸引现有劳动力，激励技能提升或重新技能，并利用全国远程工作者库。开发和实施创新的解决方案来支持人力资本，其中包括创建劳动力发展战略，以留住该州在研究管理职业方面的人才，这有可能改变佛蒙特州的研究企业。RAISE-VT将通过全州范围的研究管理/发展需求评估和一系列虚拟利益攸关方参与会议创造新的知识，这些会议将为Capstone RAISE-VT研讨会议程的制定提供信息。RAISE-VT研讨会的目标是识别和探索人力资本方面的已知障碍和现有差距，以便为进入研究支持职业而创建职业道路，如实习或证书计划；确定最佳实践、能力增强工具和流程，以促进佛蒙特州不断壮大的研究企业；在利益相关者之间建立持续的信息共享机制，以定义和发展专门的研究管理和研究开发劳动力；提出建议，以实现佛蒙特州研究管理和开发部门的可衡量改进，并可适用于其他地区和EPSCoR司法管辖区。RAISE-VT计划的成果和产品包括加强佛蒙特州和全国行政研究人员之间的协作互动，建立RAISE-VT网站，以及一份总结研讨会活动、参与情况、调查结果和主要建议的报告。研讨会资源将通过国家和地区专业组织、NSF EPSCoR计划、会议报告和RAISE-VT网站广泛分发。成功后，RAISE-VT将创建一种可扩展的研究管理劳动力发展模式，该模式可在全国范围内复制，使来自其他低人口州、EPSCoR辖区和类似地区的教师和学生能够竞争性地参与国家研究企业。该奖项反映了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。

The project, “Research Administration Infrastructure to Support EPSCoR - Vermont (RAISE-VT),” will identify ways to increase research capacity in the research enterprise that entice talented STEM graduates to remain in Vermont, appeal to the current workforce, motivate upskilling or reskilling, and tap into a national pool of remote workers. Developing and implementing innovative solutions to bolster the human capital that includes creating workforce development strategies that retain the state’s talent in research administration careers has the potential to transform Vermont’s research enterprise. RAISE-VT will create new knowledge through a statewide research administration/development needs assessment and a series of virtual stakeholder engagement sessions that will inform the development of the capstone RAISE-VT workshop agenda. The goals of the RAISE-VT workshop are to identify and explore perceived barriers and existing gaps in human capital to inform the creation of career pathways, such as internships or certificate programs, for entry into research support careers; identify best practices, capacity-enhancing tools, and processes to catalyze the growing research enterprise in Vermont; establish ongoing, information-sharing mechanisms among stakeholders to define and grow the specialized research administration and research development workforce; develop recommendations to attain measurable improvements in the research administration and development sectors in Vermont that can be adapted to other regions and EPSCoR jurisdictions. The planned outcomes and products from RAISE-VT include strengthened collaborative interactions among administrative research staff within Vermont and across the nation, establishing the RAISE-VT website, and a report summarizing workshop activities, participation, survey results, and major recommendations. Workshop resources will be distributed broadly through national and regional professional organizations, the NSF EPSCoR program, conference presentations, and the RAISE-VT website. When successful RAISE-VT will create a scalable research administration workforce development model that can be replicated nationally to enable faculty and students from other low-population states, EPSCoR jurisdictions, and similar regions to competitively participate in the National research enterprise.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.
