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

在这个项目中，区域机构间研讨会将提供给研究管理人员，机构领导人和教师的团队从小学本科院校（PUI），以促进识别共同的障碍，限制研究活动和解决方案的合作开发，以克服这些障碍，以提高能力和能力。增加研究能力和基础设施在PUI将促进教师和学生参与研究活动，并扩大在国家的研究企业的参与。作为第一步，创造一个合作和变革的PUI研究能力和能力建设模式，克服共同的研究支持结构性障碍，该项目将提供为期一天的研讨会在中西部，西北，和美国东南部地区。研究管理人员，教师和机构领导人的团队将聚集在一起，以确定挑战，建立区域支持网络，并创建共享资源，增加他们的机构研究企业的成功。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广泛实施。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

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.
