The Iowa Research Administration Internship Student Experience (I-RAISE) is a collaborative effort to build a shared regional workforce of highly connected and well-trained entry-level research administration (RA) professionals by leveraging the expertise, resources, and student populations of six varied Iowa institutions. A systemic lack of qualified RA staff hinders the ability of faculty to develop and submit grant proposals, manage awards, and remain compliant with ever-changing Federal regulations. This need is greatest at emerging research institutions (ERIs) and in rural states with limited pools of skilled applicants. I-RAISE will train students for RA careers through a cross-institutional internship model that can be replicated in other regions. Course content will also be made broadly available to enable RA workforce development nationwide.Four cohorts of 10-16 undergraduate and graduate students from the six I-RAISE institutions will participate in a cross-institutional RA internship program. The program consists of a classroom-based bootcamp and mentored rotations at both a research-intensive university and ERIs, giving students an opportunity to gain skills, knowledge, and connections from a variety of RA professionals. It also offers job placement activities and opportunities to strengthen networks among current RA staff at I-RAISE institutions. A set of on-demand, online training resources based on the I-RAISE bootcamp curriculum will also be made freely available to support onboarding of new RA staff at ERIs and other institutions nationwide. Partnerships with other Iowa institutions and nonprofits will bring their perspectives to the bootcamp, and collaboration with the NSF-funded Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (IINSPIRE-LSAMP network) will aid in recruitment of interns from underrepresented populations. ISU Extension and Outreach will host the online course. Our evaluation partner, the Research Institute for Studies in Education (RISE), will assess the impact of I-RAISE on interns and on users of the online course.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.

爱荷华州研究管理实习学生体验 (I-RAISE) 是一项协作努力，旨在利用爱荷华州六个不同机构的专业知识、资源和学生群体，建立一支由高度互联且训练有素的入门级研究管理 (RA) 专业人员组成的共享区域劳动力队伍。合格的 RA 工作人员的系统性缺乏阻碍了教师制定和提交资助提案、管理奖项以及遵守不断变化的联邦法规的能力。这种需求在新兴研究机构 (ERI) 和技术申请人数量有限的农村州最为迫切。 I-RAISE 将通过可在其他地区复制的跨机构实习模式对学生进行 RA 职业培训。课程内容也将广泛提供，以促进全国范围内的 RA 劳动力发展。来自六家 I-RAISE 机构的四批 10-16 名本科生和研究生将参加跨机构的 RA 实习计划。该计划包括基于课堂的训练营以及在研究密集型大学和 ERI 的指导轮换，让学生有机会从各种 RA 专业人士那里获得技能、知识和联系。它还提供就业安置活动和机会，以加强 I-RAISE 机构现有 RA 工作人员之间的网络。还将免费提供一套基于 I-RAISE 训练营课程的按需在线培训资源，以支持 ERI 和全国其他机构的新 RA 员工入职。与爱荷华州其他机构和非营利组织的合作将把他们的观点带入训练营，与国家科学基金会资助的爱荷华州、伊利诺伊州、内布拉斯加州路易斯斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟（IINSPIRE-LSAMP 网络）的合作将有助于从代表性不足的人群中招募实习生。 ISU Extension and Outreach 将主办在线课程。我们的评估合作伙伴教育研究所 (RISE) 将评估 I-RAISE 对实习生和在线课程用户的影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
