DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) currently hosts about one hundred and eighty (180)' research projects funded to the tune of KES 2.8 Billion (USD 38.8 Million). Managing these projects without a dedicated central office and personnel trained in grants administration has presented onerous challenges. The Institution's vision is to be a leading center of excellence in the promotion of quality health. The KEMRI Secretariat provides administrative and technical support to research and also co-ordinates the various other functions of the Institute. The Secretariat has two departments, one responsible for Administration and Finance and the other responsible for Research and Training. In seeking to bridge the gap between the two arms of the secretariat and in keeping with KEMRI's 10-year development plan the Office of Research Development (ORD) has recently been set up. This office will be headed by the Principal Investigator who will be based at KEMRI headquarters and the holder will report directly to the Chief Executive of the Institute. In undertaking this training support grant, the theme of our research and development award will be ENDELEZA. This is a Kiswahili word meaning 'advancing'. In advancing the office of research development we will seek to; i) develop and capacity build a central office that will manage pre and post award and financial management for research grants and capacity build by facilitating training in grantsmanship and grant management; ii) establish open avenues of accessing timely information regarding availability of research grants with networking with similar institutions in both South to South and North to South collaborations, and finally iii) initiate a fundraising unit with KEMRI that will work closely with our Fund Raising and Revenue Generation Committee to innovatively seek funding from local and international philanthropic donors. Our overall output will be increased access for research officers in the institute to grant information by the development of a broad database and improved grantsmanship with pre award grant writing support. In addition we will achieve streamlined financial management for grant awards, networking with similar institutions and have a database of potential local and international philanthropic donors. Lastly, the ORD will oversee and management an endowment research within KEMRI.

描述（由申请人提供）：肯尼亚医学研究所（KEMRI）目前拥有约一百八十（180）个研究项目，资助金额为28亿肯尼亚先令（3880万美元）。在没有专门的中央办公室和受过赠款管理培训的人员的情况下，管理这些项目是一项艰巨的挑战。该机构的愿景是成为促进优质健康的领先卓越中心。KEMRI秘书处为研究提供行政和技术支持，并协调研究所的其他各种职能。秘书处有两个部门，一个负责行政和财务，另一个负责研究和培训。为了弥合秘书处两个部门之间的差距，并根据肯尼亚环境研究所的十年发展计划，最近设立了研究发展办公室。该办公室将由主要调查员领导，主要调查员将驻在肯尼亚环境研究所总部，保持器持有人将直接向研究所首席执行官报告。在进行这项培训支持赠款，我们的研究和发展奖的主题将是ENDELEZA。这是一个斯瓦希里语单词，意思是“进步”。在推进研究发展办公室的工作中，我们将寻求：i）建立一个中央办公室，并进行能力建设，该办公室将通过促进赠款和赠款管理方面的培训，管理研究赠款的授予前后和财务管理以及能力建设; ii）第二阶段与南南和北南的类似机构建立网络，建立开放的渠道，及时获取有关研究赠款的信息最后，iii）与KEMRI一起发起一个筹款单位，该单位将与我们的筹款和创收委员会密切合作，以创新的方式从当地和国际慈善捐助者那里寻求资金。我们的总体产出将是通过开发一个广泛的数据库和改进授予前的授予写作支持，增加研究所研究人员获得授予信息的机会。此外，我们将实现简化的赠款财务管理，与类似机构建立网络，并建立潜在的本地和国际慈善捐助者数据库。最后，该办公室将监督和管理KEMRI内部的一项捐赠研究。
