CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY SRIP - EARDA

描述(由申请人提供)： 芝加哥州立大学(CSU)要求通过第二阶段赞助的研究基础设施计划(SRIP)继续资助校外助理研究发展奖(EARDA)。从下面的信息可以明显看出，我们认为在第一阶段取得的进展是成功的。对EA在NIH住处结束时制定的目标的审查表明，除了为一座新的科学大楼争取资金外，所有目标都得到了满足。然而，重新分配空间的临时计划将暂时实现这一目标。 经过两年的试点研究资助和从教师重点小组收到的反馈 在这项研究和调查中，总结了一些经验教训，并将把解决这些经验教训的战略纳入第二阶段SRI： 1.试点赠款的申请程序将需要参加赠款编写讲习班。 2.将要求所有试点赠款获得者提交年中报告。 3.成功的教职员工资助人将被确定为导师，并被重新分配时间 领导授权团队。有证据表明，传统结构的赠款写作研讨会和指导并不像希望的那样成功，据报道，由经验丰富的赠款撰稿人领导的赠款撰写团队提供了那种个人支持、指导和帮助确定资金来源，从而培养出成功的赠款撰稿人。组长将获得重新分配的时间，从工资储蓄中支付给大学。 除了继续实现第一阶段的目标和目的外，第二阶段的新目标包括： 1.为组长提供重新分配时间的协会赠款编写团队(1年级)； 2.在RDAC中增加外部成员(1年级)； 3.扩大合作活动(一、二、三年级)； 4.增加申请其他资金来源的获得MBRS/M-RISP支助的人数； 5.重新调查教职员工，以确定在第一阶段确定的关切事项是否已得到解决 并确定新的关注事项(第2年)。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chicago State University (CSU) is requesting continuation of funding of the Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA) through the Phase II Sponsored Research Infrastructure Program (SRIP). As will be apparent from the information below, we view our progress during Phase I as successful. A review of the objectives developed at the end of the EA's residence at NIH indicates that all were met with the exception of securing funding for a new science building. However, the interim plan for reallocation of space will temporarily meet that objective. After two years of awarding pilot research grants and feedback received from the faculty focus groups and survey, several lessons have been learned and strategies to address them will be incorporated into the Phase II SRI: 1. The application process for pilot grants will require participation in a grant writing workshop. 2. Mid-year reports will be required for all pilot grant recipients. 3. Successful faculty grant writers, serving as mentors, will be identified and given reassigned time to lead grantwriting teams. Based on evidence that traditionally structured grantwriting workshops and mentoring are not as successful as hoped, grant writing teams reportedly led by experienced grant writers provide the kind of individual support, direction, and assistance with identifying funding sources that creates faculty who are successful grant writers. Team leaders will receive reassigned time to be paid from the salary savings to the university. In addition to continuing with the Phase I goals and objectives, new objectives for Phase II are: 1. institute grant writing teams with reassigned time provided for team leaders (Year 1); 2. add an external member to the RDAC (Year 1); 3. expand collaborative activities (Years 1,2, and 3); 4. increase the number receiving MBRS/M-RISP support applying for other sources of funding; 5. re-survey faculty to determine if what concerns identified during Phase I have been addressed and ascertain new concerns (Year 2).
