CSUF Research Gateway Project (CSUF RGP)

描述(由申请人提供)：加州州立大学，富勒顿(CSUF)，一个大型的，综合性的，主要是本科生，西班牙裔服务机构正在经历其研究企业的变革性变化。六年前，CSUF制定了一项计划，重组其基础设施，以改善支持教职员工和学生研究以及学术和创意活动的服务。自那时以来，在这一重组中投入了大量资源，导致所提交的赠款提案和奖励大幅增加。然而，拨款活动的快速增长给相对较新的研究管理基础设施带来了额外的压力，揭示了许多仍然存在的影响教师生产率和成功的障碍。这些障碍包括服务分散、权力下放、赠款支助办公室的工作人员在解释政策和程序方面不一致，以及无法在多个网站上找到最新信息。因此，为了消除这些障碍，并将CSUF带入其全面改革的最后阶段，PIS正在寻求国家卫生研究院生物医学/生物行为研究管理发展(BRAD)计划的部分支持，以支持CSUF研究门户项目(CSUF RGP)。CSUF RGP的总体目标是增加机构赠款支持能力，从而提高教师的研究生产力，并扩大学生对研究计划的参与。为了达到这一目标，私营部门督察提出了以下三个具体目标：1)政策审查、发展、协调和制度化 所有授予前和授予后的服务，以消除拨款管理过程中的差距和不一致；2)研究门户的设计和实施，以通过创建一个中央的、全面的CSUF研究相关资源的在线储存库来消除低效和信息的碎片化；以及3)培训、发展和制度化，以最大限度地减少来自不同支助办公室的个人在解释政策方面的差异，并为教职员工和学生提供持续的拨款发展和管理研讨会。通过实现上述目标，加州州立大学Fullerton将为其教职员工和学生提供高效、一致和友好的客户服务，同时将合规性与联邦和州监管要求联系起来，从而提高PI的研究生产率，并通过增加授予该机构的NIH和其他赠款的数量，最终改善整个社区的健康和福祉。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), a large, comprehensive, primarily undergraduate, Hispanic Serving Institution is undergoing transformative changes in its research enterprise. Six years ago, CSUF put together a plan to re-organize its infrastructure to improve services supporting faculty and student research, and scholarly and creative activities. Since that time substantial resources were invested in this reorganization leading to a significant increase in grant proposal submissions and awards. However, this rapid growth in grant activities placed additional stress on the relatively new research administration infrastructure, unveiling many still existing barriers that affect faculty productivity and success. These barriers include fragmentation of services, inconsistencies in interpreting policies and procedures by staff in decentralized, grant support offices, and the inability to find up-to-date information across multiple websites. Thus, in order to eliminate thes barriers, and to move CSUF into the final phase of its comprehensive overhaul, the PIs are seeking partial support from the National Institutes of Health Biomedical/Biobehavioral Research Administration Development (BRAD) program for the "CSUF Research Gateway Project (CSUF RGP)". The overarching goal of the CSUF RGP is to increase the institutional grant support capacity and, thus, enhance research productivity of faculty and broaden participation of students in research programs. To reach this goal, the PIs are proposing the following three Specific Aims: 1) policy review, development, alignment and institutionalization in all pre- and post-award services to eliminate gaps and inconsistencies in grant administration processes; 2) Research Gateway design and implementation to eliminate inefficiencies and fragmentation of information by creating a central, comprehensive online repository of CSUF research-related resources; and 3) training, development and institutionalization to minimize discrepancies in interpretation of policies by individuals from various support offices and to provide ongoing grants development and management workshops to faculty, staff, and students. By achieving the above aims, Cal State Fullerton will provide efficient, consistent, and friendly customer service to its faculty and students, while linking compliance with federal and state regulatory requirements, leading to increased research productivity of PIs and ultimately improve the health and well-being of the community at large by increasing the number of NIH and other grants awarded to the institution.
