This workshop brings together diverse public research institutions and other organizations to discuss and develop potential solutions to the challenges related to enhancing institutional research capacity at campuses that are not currently research intensive. The issues faced are varied and include outdated infrastructure, software, and methodology, as well as staffing shortfalls that lower their ability to support research. Participating emerging research institutions will benefit from the opportunity to learn from established research leadership and administrators at research-intensive institutions. The workshop will produce a working draft for a shared online resource support center that will provide users access to a helpdesk and other research administration resources in a broad effort to advance research capacity. Participating institutions include R1 to R2s, both rural and urban institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), minority-serving institutions (MSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Native American Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTIs), as well as Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) institutions. Each participant brings unique experiences and challenges to the conversation and provides valuable insight into creative solutions for mitigating barriers to research capacity. Workshop participants will be led through a challenge set format to identify common challenges and share available tools, knowledge, and effective practices with the overarching goals of enhancing competitiveness and catalyzing the development of new approaches and transformative ideas that are scalable, implementable, and collectively strengthen the nation’s research enterprise. Upon completion of this conference, participating institutions will have identified possible challenges and mitigation strategies to research capacity building and drafted a framework needed for developing, implementing, and scaling a sustainable shared virtual resource center for use by research leadership, administration, and staff. In addition, each participant will have gained an improved understanding of how to engage in productive partnerships within and outside the institution to support the effective translation of research activity into commercial products and partnerships.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.

本次研讨会汇集了不同的公共研究机构和其他组织，讨论和开发潜在的解决方案，以提高目前研究不密集的校园的机构研究能力。面临的问题是多种多样的，包括过时的基础设施、软件和方法，以及人员短缺，这降低了他们支持研究的能力。参与的新兴研究机构将有机会向研究密集型机构的成熟研究领导和管理人员学习。研讨会将为一个共享的在线资源支持中心制定一个工作草案，该中心将为用户提供访问帮助台和其他研究管理资源的机会，以广泛地提高研究能力。参与机构包括R1至R2s，农村和城市机构，西班牙裔服务机构（HSIs），少数族裔服务机构（MSIs），历史黑人学院和大学（HBCUs），美洲原住民服务机构（NASNTIs），以及建立计划刺激竞争研究（EPSCoR）机构。每位与会者都为对话带来了独特的经历和挑战，并为减少研究能力障碍的创造性解决方案提供了宝贵的见解。研讨会参与者将通过挑战集的形式来确定共同的挑战，并分享可用的工具、知识和有效的实践，以提高竞争力和促进可扩展、可实施的新方法和变革思想的发展，并共同加强国家的研究企业。本次会议结束后，与会机构将确定研究能力建设可能面临的挑战和缓解战略，并起草开发、实施和扩大可持续共享虚拟资源中心所需的框架，供研究领导、行政部门和工作人员使用。此外，每个参与者都将更好地了解如何参与机构内外的富有成效的伙伴关系，以支持将研究活动有效地转化为商业产品和伙伴关系。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。
