The Colleges of Liberal Arts Sponsored Programs Community of Practice (CLASP) is a free and open resource that currently represents more than 330 predominantly undergraduate institutions, particularly institutions that fit within the “liberal arts college” framework (PUI LACs) across the nation. CLASP will hold a series of convenings to improve its ability to meet the needs of sponsored research professionals, often the only such professional at PUI LAC institutions. At these convenings sponsored research professionals will: develop strategies for building the capacity and effectiveness of research administration across a diverse range of institutions; build protocols that improve outreach to, and support for, institutions that serve significant numbers of students underrepresented in the sciences; and create procedures for representing and advocating for the research contributions of this subset of Emerging Research Institutions. In partnership with the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at Carleton College, the research team will survey and convene the CLASP membership, both virtually and in person, to: 1) develop tools and scalable models advancing research at predominantly undergraduate institutions that fit within the “liberal arts college” framework (PUI LACs); 2) broaden participation within this Community of Practice to support the needs of organizations such as minority-serving institutions, and 3) reduce systemic barriers to accessing information about and from external funders. These findings will provide early insight into how to increase partnership, knowledge sharing, and enhance communication between research administrators at PUI LACs of all sizes and types. 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.

实践（CLASP）的文科赞助计划社区的学院是一个免费和开放的资源，目前代表了330多个主要的本科院校，特别是在“文科学院”框架（PUI拉克）在全国范围内适合机构。 CLASP将举行一系列会议，以提高其满足赞助研究专业人员需求的能力，这些专业人员通常是PUI LAC机构中唯一的此类专业人员。在这些会议赞助的研究专业人员将：制定战略，在不同的机构建设研究管理的能力和有效性;建立协议，提高外展，并支持，服务于大量学生在科学中代表不足的机构;并创建程序代表和倡导这一子集的新兴研究机构的研究贡献。研究团队将与卡尔顿学院的科学教育资源中心（SERC）合作，调查并召集CLASP成员，包括虚拟和面对面，以：1）开发工具和可扩展的模型，以促进适合“文科学院”框架的主要本科院校的研究（PUI拉克）; 2）扩大该实践社区的参与，以支持少数群体服务机构等组织的需求; 3）减少获取外部供资者信息的系统性障碍。这些发现将提供早期洞察如何增加合作伙伴关系，知识共享，并加强研究管理人员之间的沟通在PUI拉克的所有规模和类型。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
