DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the years, international agencies have dramatically increased their funding of research and training to deferent institutions in Uganda. However, it is observed that grants recipient institutions, individual researchers, students, and research administrators in Uganda have limited experience in electronic grant applications process, award management, fiscal accountability, and scientific reporting requirements for NIH and other international funding agencies. This situation is evident to most research and training institutions including Joint Clinical Research Centre (JCRC). It also noted that a lot is changing in regard to grants application guidelines and reporting regulations that require researchers informed at all times. This calls for strengthening of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) at JCRC and other institutions in Uganda. The JCRC is a nonprofit making organization founded in 1991 as a joint venture of institutions that include Makerere University and the Uganda ministries of defense, health and education. JCRC works with many collaborators to provide research expertise and is an international center of excellence in research in Africa. The mission of JCRC is to conduct quality medical research and training, provide equitable and sustainable HIV/AIDS care and other health care services in Uganda and internationally. Today, the research environment at JCRC is rigorous and active with quality collaborative research projects addressing a broad range of research questions mainly in the fields of biomedical and social sciences. In order to respond well to different grants regulations JCRC established a standalone office of research. This was born out of the fact that a strong central oversight is needed to make sure that grants and other research activities comply to international funding agencies regulations and national guidelines. The required grants conformity on awarded institutions is ever-growing, and possible irregularities should be handled in a timely manner so as to avoid any potential problems. This adds to the usual assistance provided to researchers to identify grant opportunities, writing applications, submitting grant proposals, administer awards, and overseeing grants compliances. The goal of this International Extramural Research Development Award (EARDA) grant application is to develop cadres of research administrators that can address current and future NIH and other funding agencies' grants policies and procedures, and to strengthen the research and grant administrative infrastructure at JCRC and its affiliated institutions. Broadly, proposed program activities involve strengthening Office of Research and Development (ORD). Specific objectives for proposal are i). To strengthen the research training capacity and administrative infrastructure of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) at Joint Clinical Research Centre ( JCRC) and the capability of its affiliated institutions. ii). To assist affiliated academic and research institutions in standardization and completing mandatory registration necessary for NIH electronic grant applications. iii). To foster and strengthen collaboration among social science, medical, clinical, and public health disciplines so that trainees can develop capacity to manage multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research. iv). To strengthen the capacity of the office of research and development personnel to spearhead the translation of research findings into practice and policy advocacy thereby ensuring that evidence-based interventions from operational research are shared and implemented efficiently in order to improve health services, and v). To provide the JCRC International Extramural Associate (IEA) with training on NIH Grantsmanship so as to obtain knowledge and skills required to effectively administer NIH and other agencies awards. Activities involve completing Distance Learning modules by the IEA and prior to IEAs three-week residency training at NIH. Distance Learning modules will include introduction to the NIH, NIH terminology and funding mechanisms, role of NIH officials, receipt and referral of grant applications, peer review process, program funding cycle, grants management basics, use of animals in research, and use of human subjects in research. The residency at NIH and onsite visit by the NICH staff shall be followed by a baseline training needs assessment and consultative meetings with all partner institutions before confirming the structure development plan. The plan involves equipping office of research at JCRC, Mbarara University of Science and Technology and Uganda Christian University Mukono. The JCRC research policy document shall be reviewed to match growing multidisciplinary and complex research projects in Uganda. Short training courses and seminars on: NIH focused grants writing and award management; Introduction to dissemination research and public engagement; Introduction to Research Ethics; How to utilize Facility based data for research and improving quality of service; and Training Trainers in NIH Grant Writing, submission and post Grant Award Management course.

描述(由申请者提供)：多年来，国际机构大幅增加了对乌干达不同机构的研究和培训资金。然而，据观察，乌干达的赠款接受机构、个人研究人员、学生和研究行政人员在国家卫生研究院和其他国际资助机构的电子赠款申请程序、奖项管理、财政问责和科学报告要求方面的经验有限。这种情况对包括联合临床研究中心(JCRC)在内的大多数研究和培训机构都很明显。它还指出，在赠款申请准则和报告规定方面正在发生很大变化，这些规定要求研究人员始终知情。这要求加强联合儿童权利委员会的研究和发展办公室以及乌干达的其他机构。JCRC是一个非营利性组织，成立于1991年，是包括Makerere大学和乌干达国防部、卫生部和教育部在内的机构的合资企业。JCRC与许多合作者合作，提供研究专业知识，是非洲国际卓越研究中心。JCRC的使命是进行高质量的医学研究和培训，在乌干达和国际上提供公平和可持续的艾滋病毒/艾滋病护理和其他卫生保健服务。今天，JCRC的研究环境严谨而活跃，高质量的合作研究项目主要解决生物医学和社会科学领域的广泛研究问题。为了更好地回应不同的赠款条例，JCRC设立了一个独立的研究办公室。这源于这样一个事实，即需要强有力的中央监督，以确保赠款和其他研究活动符合国际资助机构的条例和国家准则。对获奖机构要求的赠款符合性不断增加，应及时处理可能的违规行为，以避免任何潜在的问题。这增加了通常向研究人员提供的帮助，以确定拨款机会、撰写申请、提交拨款建议、管理奖励和监督拨款遵守情况。这项国际校外研究发展奖(EARDA)资助申请的目标是培养能够应对当前和未来NIH和其他资助机构的资助政策和程序的研究管理干部，并加强JCRC及其附属机构的研究和资助管理基础设施。总的来说，拟议的计划活动涉及加强研究和发展办公室(ORD)。提案的具体目标为i)。加强联合临床研究中心(JCRC)研究与发展办公室(ORD)的研究培训能力和行政基础设施及其附属机构的能力。Ii)。协助附属学术和研究机构规范和完成NIH电子拨款申请所需的强制性登记。三)。促进和加强社会科学、医学、临床和公共卫生学科之间的合作，使学员能够发展管理多学科和跨学科研究的能力。四)。加强研究和开发人员办公室的能力，带头将研究结果转化为实践和政策宣传，从而确保分享和有效实施业务研究的循证干预措施，以改善保健服务；为JCRC国际校外助理(IEA)提供有关NIH资助金的培训，以获得有效管理NIH和其他机构奖项所需的知识和技能。活动包括完成国际能源署的远程学习模块，并在国际能源署之前在国家卫生研究院进行为期三周的常驻培训。远程学习模块将包括NIH简介、NIH术语和资助机制、NIH官员的角色、拨款申请的接收和转介、同行评审过程、计划资助周期、拨款管理基础知识、在研究中使用动物以及在研究中使用人类受试者。NICH工作人员在NIH的驻地实习和实地访问之后，应在确认结构发展计划之前进行基线培训需求评估，并与所有伙伴机构举行协商会议。该计划包括装备JCRC、姆巴拉拉科技大学和乌干达基督教大学Mukono的研究办公室。应审查联合研究中心的研究政策文件，以配合乌干达日益增长的多学科和复杂的研究项目。短期培训课程和研讨会的内容包括：国立卫生研究院的赠款编写和奖励管理；传播研究和公众参与导论；研究伦理导论；如何利用基于设施的数据进行研究和提高服务质量；以及培训国家卫生研究院赠款撰写、提交和奖状后管理课程的培训人员。
