Conference: The PUI Research Nexus: Faculty, staff, and administrators raise awareness, assess systemic barriers, and prepare to act in support of the research enterprise

在该项目中，将为研究管理人员、机构领导和主要本科院校（PUIs）的教师团队提供区域机构间研讨会，以促进识别限制研究活动的共同障碍，并合作开发解决方案，以克服这些障碍，提高能力和能力。增加pui的研究能力和基础设施将促进教师和学生对研究活动的参与，并扩大对国家研究事业的参与。作为创建协作性和变革性PUI研究能力和能力建设模式的第一步，该项目将在美国中西部、西北部和东南部地区提供为期一天的讲习班，以克服常见的研究支持结构障碍。科研管理人员、教师和机构领导团队将聚集在一起，确定挑战，建立区域支持网络，并创建共享资源，以增加其机构研究事业的成功。由此产生的一套最佳实践将成为一个研究工具包的基础，可以在全国各地的pui中广泛实施。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

In this project, regional inter-institutional workshops will be offered to teams of research administrators, institutional leaders, and faculty from Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) to catalyze the identification of common barriers that limit research activity and the collaborative development of solutions to overcome these barriers to grow capability and capacity. Increasing the research capacity and infrastructure at PUIs will promote faculty and student engagement in research activities and broaden participation in the nation’s research enterprise.As a first step towards creating a collaborative and transformative PUI research capacity and capability building model that overcomes common research support structural barriers, this project will offer one-day workshops in the Midwest, Northwest, and Southeast regions of the United States. Teams of research administrators, faculty, and institutional leaders will gather to identify challenges, build regional support networks, and create shared resources that increase the success of their institutional research enterprise. The resulting suite of best practices will be the foundation of a research toolkit that can be implemented broadly in PUIs across the nation.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.
