DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) is an engaged, metropolitan university which serves a student body that is racially/ethnically diverse, represents a high proportion of lower socioeconomic status (SES) families, and has a high number of first generational college attendees. UTC is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of the Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia region through strategic partnerships and community involvement. Tennessee ranks 43rd in the nation for adult educational attainment based on the number of adult Tennessee state residents who have a minimum of an associate's degree (Tennessee Higher Education Commission, 2012). The region is rife with a shortage of health professionals and ranks among the lowest in the county health rankings for the states of Tennessee and Georgia. With support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Biomedical/Bio behavioral Research Administration Development (BRAD) award, UTC will increase its likelihood of making a measurable difference in preparing students who represent challenging educational and economic disadvantages for pursuing careers dependent on exposure to excellent biomedical and bio behavioral research (BBR). The goal of the proposed UTC BRAD project, Chattanooga Research Enhancement: Advocacy, Training, and Expansion (CREATE), is to enhance and expand the existing organizational structure to build capacity among UTC faculty to successfully compete for BBR awards and thereby enhance the preparation and training of undergraduate and graduate students for potential BBR and health professional careers. The specific aims of CREATE are to: 1) Identify key strategies in which to enhance the BBR environment/culture on the UTC campus; 2) Advocate on behalf of and with faculty for improved research policies relative to the faculty functions of teaching/advising, service, and research; 3) Improve faculty access to training opportunities in the research enterprise; 4) Expand UTC faculty research capacity through collaborative efforts and partnering with extramural partners. Participation in CREATE will provide UTC's principal investigator/Extramural Associate (EA), Dr. Gregory W. Heath, with research administration training, support, and mentoring in association with Drs. Jerald Ainsworth, UTC Provost, and Dr. Donald Thomason, Dean, College of Graduate Health Sciences, University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), Memphis. Through such mentoring and the NIH BRAD summer internship, the desired outcome of CREATE is to enhance and expand BBR on the UTC campus as well as extend the reach of the Office of Partnerships and Sponsored Programs (OPSP) through capacity building, research training, and support to faculty. A component of the CREATE plan is the convening of a series of strategic planning sessions with key faculty and administrators around topics associated with BBR development and promotion. A related component to strategic planning is improved faculty access to workshops on topics including funding opportunity identification, grant writing, proposal development, and successful grant management in addition to individualized grant support. Finally, the CREATE plan seeks to actively engage community, regional, state, and national partnerships designed to foster collaborative BBR opportunities for UTC faculty and students.

描述（由申请人提供）：田纳西大学查塔努加（UTC）是一所从事的大都市大学，为种族/民族多样化的学生团体提供服务，代表了较低社会经济地位（SES）家庭的高比例，并拥有大量的第一代大学参与者。UTC致力于通过战略合作伙伴关系和社区参与来满足田纳西州东南部和北格鲁吉亚地区的各种需求。田纳西州排名第43位在全国成人教育程度的基础上，成人田纳西州居民谁拥有最低限度的副学士学位（田纳西州高等教育委员会，2012年）。该地区普遍缺乏卫生专业人员，在田纳西州和格鲁吉亚的县卫生排名中排名最低。在美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）生物医学/生物行为研究管理发展（布拉德）奖的支持下，UTC将增加其在准备学生方面做出可衡量的改变的可能性，这些学生代表具有挑战性的教育和经济劣势，追求依赖于接触优秀的生物医学和生物行为研究（BBR）的职业生涯。拟议的UTC布拉德项目的目标，查塔努加研究增强：宣传，培训和扩展（创建），是加强和扩大现有的组织结构，以建立UTC教师成功竞争BBR奖项的能力，从而加强本科生和研究生的准备和培训，为潜在的BBR和卫生专业职业生涯。CREATE的具体目标是：1）确定关键战略，以加强UTC校园的BBR环境/文化; 2）代表并与教师一起倡导改善与教学/咨询，服务和研究的教师职能相关的研究政策; 3）改善教师获得研究企业培训机会的机会; 4）通过合作努力和与校外合作伙伴的合作，扩大UTC教师的研究能力。参与CREATE将为UTC的首席研究员/校外助理（EA）Gregory W. Heath，与UTC教务长Jerald Ainsworth博士和孟菲斯田纳西大学健康科学中心（UTHSC）研究生健康科学学院院长Donald Mesason博士一起进行研究管理培训、支持和指导。通过这种指导和NIH布拉德暑期实习，CREATE的预期成果是增强和扩大UTC校园的BBR，并通过能力建设，研究培训和支持教师来扩展合作伙伴关系和赞助项目办公室（OPSP）的范围。创建计划的一个组成部分是召集一系列战略规划会议，与主要教师和管理人员围绕与BBR开发和推广相关的主题。战略规划的一个相关组成部分是改善教师获得研讨会的主题，包括资金机会识别，赠款写作，提案开发，以及成功的赠款管理，除了个性化的赠款支持。最后，CREATE计划旨在积极参与社区，地区，州和国家的合作伙伴关系，旨在为UTC教师和学生培养合作的BBR机会。
