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)是一项合作努力，旨在通过利用爱荷华州六所不同院校的专业知识、资源和学生人数，建立高度联系和训练有素的入门级研究管理(RA)专业人员的共享地区劳动力。系统性缺乏合格的RA工作人员阻碍了教员制定和提交拨款提案、管理奖励并保持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)和技术申请者人数有限的农村州最大。I-RAISE将通过可在其他地区复制的跨机构实习模式，为RA职业培训学生。课程内容也将在全国范围内广泛提供，以促进RA劳动力的发展。来自六所i-Raise院校的10-16名本科生和研究生将参加一个跨机构的RA实习计划。该计划包括基于课堂的训练营和在研究密集型大学和ERIS的指导轮换，让学生有机会从各种RA专业人员那里获得技能、知识和人脉。它还提供就业安置活动和机会，以加强I-RAING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ERIS和全国其他机构的新RA工作人员上岗。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到训练营，与NSF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不足的人群中招聘实习生。执行支助股推广和外联将主持这门在线课程。我们的评估伙伴，教育研究研究所(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优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
