 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nazareth College of Rochester is a small, independent, co-educational, private liberal arts college with a substantial regional impact. The Princeton Review featured Nazareth College in its The Best 379 Colleges: 2015 editions, as one of the best institutions for undergraduate education. U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges (2015 edition) guide ranks Nazareth in the top tier of colleges and universities in the category of Best Regional Universities - North. Nazareth offers a wide range of majors and professional programs in biomedical and biobehavioral research (BBR); science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); and Health and Human Sciences (HHS) disciplines. Recent campus improvements have expanded and upgraded the facilities that house these programs. Despite upgraded facilities and engaged faculty Nazareth College has not been successful in securing external funding for its biomedical and biobehavioral research. This inability to compete successfully for external awards is in part due to a lack of resources and infrastructure in the Office of Sponsored Programs and Faculty Research (OSPFR) and partly due to a lack of access to faculty development opportunities related to grant seeking and management. Nazareth College recognizes that its OSPFR must be developed to meet the needs of the college, faculty and ultimately its students. To this end it has recently hired a new Director for the OSPFR, Dr. Jennifer E.B. Harman, responsible for building the research enterprise. The driving force behind Nazareth College's expansion of its research enterprise is the increased recognition of the value of research in a teaching college, the expansion of accredited programs in the health and human sciences requiring faculty research productivity, and Nazareth's growing regional reputation for "engaged scholarship." This project times well with the College's strategic plan to increase opportunities for undergraduate research and its commitment to enrolling a diverse population. Nazareth College has the goal of increasing internal and externally funded research 25% by 2020. Nazareth College also seeks to increase its diversity through partnerships with schools in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and New York City with the intent to identify under-represented minorities who show interest in careers in BBR, STEM or HHS fields. The goal of the BRAD award is to expedite these initiatives, increase the momentum of change that has already begun, and emerge as a viable, sustained research program. The aims of the proposal are 1: professional development for research administrators, 2: increasing faculty profession development opportunities for STEM and HHS faculty and 3: infrastructure upgrades to the OSPFR. Aims of this program focus on educational opportunities for faculty, Dr. Harman and other members of the OSPFR. Professional development for OSPFR will enrich Dr. Harman's background while professional development opportunities for faculty will provide the resources necessary for faculty to seek external funding. OSPFR infrastructure will reduce the administrative effort required for proposal development and management of awards.

 描述（由申请人提供）：罗切斯特的拿撒勒学院是一所小型的，独立的，男女同校的私立文理学院，具有重大的区域影响。普林斯顿评论精选拿撒勒学院在其最佳的379所大学：2015年版，作为本科教育的最佳机构之一。《美国新闻与世界报道》最佳大学（2015年版）指南将拿撒勒列为大学类别中的顶级大学。 最好的地区大学-北。拿撒勒提供了广泛的专业和专业课程，在生物医学和生物行为研究（BBR）;科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）;和健康与人文科学（HHS）学科。最近的校园改善扩大和升级了容纳这些程序的设施。尽管设施升级和教师参与拿撒勒学院一直没有成功地确保其生物医学和生物行为研究的外部资金。这种无法成功竞争外部奖项的部分原因是由于赞助计划和教师研究办公室（OSPFR）缺乏资源和基础设施，部分原因是缺乏与寻求赠款和管理相关的教师发展机会。拿撒勒学院认识到，其OSPFR必须发展，以满足学院，教师和最终的学生的需求。为此，它最近为OSPFR聘请了一位新主任Jennifer E.B.博士。哈曼，负责研究企业建设。拿撒勒学院扩大其研究企业的驱动力是对教学学院研究价值的日益认可，在健康和人文科学方面的认可课程的扩大需要教师的研究生产力，以及拿撒勒日益增长的区域声誉“从事奖学金。“这个项目与学院的战略计划，以增加本科研究的机会，并承诺招收多样化的人口时间很好。拿撒勒学院的目标是到2020年将内部和外部资助的研究增加25%。拿撒勒学院还寻求通过与罗切斯特，布法罗，锡拉丘兹和纽约市的学校合作伙伴关系，以确定谁在BBR，STEM或HHS领域的职业兴趣代表性不足的少数民族，以增加其多样性。布拉德奖的目标是加快这些举措，增加已经开始的变革势头，并成为一个可行的，可持续的研究计划。该提案的目的是1：研究管理人员的专业发展，2：增加STEM和HHS教师的教师专业发展机会，3：OSPFR的基础设施升级。该计划的目的集中在教师，哈曼博士和OSPFR其他成员的教育机会。OSPFR的专业发展将丰富哈曼博士的背景，而教师的专业发展机会将为教师寻求外部资金提供必要的资源。OSPFR基础设施将减少拟定建议书和管理授标所需的行政工作。
