Conference: Charting & Expanding Needed Trails to Research Administration & Leadership (CENTRAL)

图表扩大所需的路径研究管理领导（中央）会议，由公立和赠地大学协会主办的亚拉巴马A M大学，将制定一个全面的职业道路地图，产生国家的高级研究人员（SRO）。 由于这是一个国家需要把研究领导的好处，以扩大全国各地的机构的广度，需要更多的大学研究领导人，以反映他们的机构和他们从事的公民人口的多样性。绘制产生高级领导者的路径，并确定机构和协会可能消除障碍的方法，将使今天的各种有抱负的领导者能够承担明天领导需求的衣钵。 为了实现这一目标，中央会议将召集多达75名专家在研究领导，培训和管理领域的亚拉巴马A M大学。 专家和演讲者将从公立和赠地大学协会（APLU），研究开发专业人员的国家组织（NORDP）和推进社会研究影响中心（阿里斯）中选出，以确定高级研究人员的职业道路。 中央将举办互动讨论，以1）确定个人采取的关键路径，以达到高级研究领导作用，认识到不同的候选人的路径有额外的属性和限制，和2）确定机构和协会在向个人介绍追求研究领导地位的机会和障碍以及招募他们担任高级研究领导职位方面所发挥的作用，局 该项目旨在为未来的研究领导力发展计划奠定知识基础，解决产生未来研究领导者的障碍。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Charting & Expanding Needed Trails to Research Administration & Leadership (CENTRAL) conference, hosted by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities at Alabama A&M University, will develop a comprehensive map of career pathways which produce the nation’s senior research officers (SROs). As it is a national need to bring the benefit of research leadership to an expanding breadth of institutions across the nation, more university research leaders are needed to reflect the diversity of both their institutions and the citizen populations with which they engage. Charting the pathways that produce senior leaders, and identifying ways institutions and associations might remove roadblocks from them, will enable the diverse aspiring leaders of today to assume the mantle of tomorrow’s leadership needs. To accomplish this goal, the CENTRAL Conference will convene up to 75 experts in the research leadership, training, and administration fields at the Alabama A&M University. Experts and speakers will be selected from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP), and Center for Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) to identify the career pathways of senior research officers. CENTRAL will host interactive discussions to 1) Identify key paths that individuals take to arrive at senior research leadership roles, recognizing that the paths for diverse candidates have additional attributes and constraints, and 2) identify the roles that institutions and associations play in introducing individuals to the opportunities and barriers of pursuing research leadership and recruiting them to a career in senior research leadership and administration. This project serves to build the foundation of knowledge required for future research leadership development programs which address roadblocks to producing future research leaders.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.
