This workshop-based project aims to develop a suite of practical recommendations to mitigate the challenges of grant submission at the nation’s approximately 1700 primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) that grant 4-year or higher degrees. By examining in-depth the roles of campus administrations, professional organizations, and informal networks that contribute to this process, the project is uniquely positioned to identify barriers and solutions. A pilot study indicates that a few staff in each grant-active PUI perform the same core research development (RD) functions as a much larger and more specialized RD staff at large research universities. Yet, these functions are under extensive strain due to competing priorities and limited resources. The project team uses recent data from small and large data collections, earlier literature, and expert consultations to develop concise background materials and agendas to better understand the nature and variations of RD among PUIs. By convening a series of regional two-day workshops, approximately 16 participants (per workshop) representative of PUI types and RD personnel, materials will be reviewed and specific ideas and priorities developed. Subsequent public webinars and related channels add to the basis for a report with national recommendations for evidence development, demonstration programs, and evaluation to promote systemic long-term enhancement of the PUI research enterprise. By crystallizing knowledge of unique aspects of PUI RD challenges, promoting strength-based rather than deficit-based modeling of PUI needs, capacities, and growth paths, and broadening the participation of currently less active segments of the PUI universe, the project will provide concrete, independent, expert suggestions on how to enhance national networks of communication and service to more effectively support PUI research activities, thus spreading research experience, knowledge, and resources to new and potentially underserved communities.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.

这个基于研讨会的项目旨在制定一套实用建议，以减轻该国约1700家初级本科机构（PUI）的赠款提交挑战，这些挑战是授予4年或更高学位的。通过深入研究为这一过程做出贡献的校园管理，专业组织和非正式网络的作用，该项目是唯一地定位的，可以识别障碍和解决方案。一项试点研究表明，每个赠款活动中的少数员工在大型研究中的一名更大，更专业的RD员工发挥了相同的核心研究开发（RD）的作用。然而，由于优先级和资源有限，这些功能由于优先级和有限的资源而受到广泛的压力。该项目团队使用来自小型数据收集，早期文献和专家咨询的最新数据来开发简洁的背景材料和议程，以更好地了解PUI中RD的性质和变化。通过召开一系列的为期两天的区域研讨会，代表PUI类型和RD人员的大约16名参与者（每个研讨会），将审查材料，并开发了具体的想法和优先级。随后的公共网络研讨会和相关渠道增加了一份报告的基础，并提供了有关证据开发，演示计划和评估的国家建议，以促进PUI研究企业的系统性长期增强。通过对PUI RD挑战的独特方面的了解，促进对PUI需求，能力和成长道路的基于力量的建模，并扩大PUI宇宙中当前不太活跃的细分市场的参与，该项目将提供具体，独立的，独立的专家建议，以提供有关如何增强PUI研究的社区，从而扩大知识的社区，从而扩大了知识的社区，从而提供了知识和资源的知识，并提供了知识的经验，并提供了知识的经验，并提供了知识的经验，并提供了知识的经验，并提供了知识，并提供了知识的经验，并为知识提供了社区，并提供了领域的知识。奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准评估来诚实地认为得到了支持。
