DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application for Phase II FRESP support is to further enhance the research capabilities at Stephens College by supporting the following activities: (1) increase the opportunities for faculty to conduct research in the biomedical and behavioral areas by providing funds for pilot projects to be used to compete for nationally recognized grants in science research and training, and to provide release time on a competitive basis for two faculty per year; (2) increase the awareness of the OSP Director of NIH and related agencies' research and training opportunities by traveling to NIH and other government agencies annually; (3) expand the abilities of the OSP to continue to train faculty and staff in research and training grant application and preparation by offering grant writing workshops annually as well as the continued development of procedures and policies within our grant writers handbook; (4) continue and expand our efforts to create research collaborative activities with the University of Missouri and the Cancer Research Center by writing collaborative grants with Stephens College and the University of Missouri faculty; (5) increase student participation in research, and subsequently their desire to pursue careers in science and research, by providing student mentoring and research opportunities with faculty through our research internship program, bringing in guest speakers, and by encouraging students to pursue REU experiences in the summer at major research institutions; (6) to continue to expand our technologies thereby gaining opportunities to seek Federal and non-Federal resources which provide financial support to biomedical and behavioral research and training programs. A number of grant opportunities already exist that are specifically designed to enhance the research opportunities for underrepresented minorities in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, such as the RISE, SCORE, MARC and BRIDGES grants. However, Stephens College, as a traditionally women's institution, does not qualify for any of these special grant opportunities. This requires Stephens College to be competitive with larger and well-established schools for funds. Continuation of this grant will serve to further the goal of Stephens College to increase our competitiveness for external funding and improve the excellence in research and training the college provides to its students.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的第二阶段FRESP支持的目的是通过支持以下活动进一步提高斯蒂芬斯学院的研究能力：（1）增加教师在生物医学和行为领域进行研究的机会，为试点项目提供资金，用于竞争国家认可的科学研究和培训赠款，（2）通过每年前往NIH和其他政府机构，提高OSP主任对NIH和相关机构研究和培训机会的认识;（三）通过提供赠款撰写讲习班，扩大OSP的能力，继续培训研究和培训赠款申请和准备方面的教职员工（4）继续并扩大我们的努力，通过与斯蒂芬斯学院和密苏里州大学的教师撰写合作赠款，与密苏里州大学和癌症研究中心建立研究合作活动;（5）通过我们的研究实习计划，为学生提供指导和与教师进行研究的机会，增加学生对研究的参与，以及随后他们追求科学和研究事业的愿望，引进客座演讲者，并鼓励学生在夏季在主要研究机构追求REU的经验;（6）继续扩大我们的技术，从而获得机会，寻求联邦和非联邦资源，为生物医学和行为研究和培训计划提供财政支持。一些赠款机会已经存在，专门用于增加在生物医学和行为科学中代表性不足的少数群体的研究机会，例如RISE，SCORE，MARC和BRIDGES赠款。然而，斯蒂芬斯学院，作为一个传统的妇女机构，没有资格获得任何这些特殊的赠款机会。这就要求斯蒂芬斯学院在资金方面与规模更大、地位更高的学校竞争。这笔赠款的继续将有助于进一步斯蒂芬斯学院的目标，以提高我们的外部资金的竞争力，并提高卓越的研究和培训学院提供给学生。
