 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Puerto Rico at Cayey (UPR-C) seeks funding to develop health research administration capacity. UPR-C ranks 13th nationally as a baccalaureate source institution for Hispanic PhDs in STEM disciplines. But budget cuts (13% between 2008 -2013) and loss of tenured teaching faculty due to retirement (25% 2006-2014) have challenged campus capacity for management of external funding in biomedical and behavioral sciences, and mentoring for new faculty. Recent improvements include 1o new hires that are slated for 2015. This proposal will capitalize on existing UPR-C research management infrastructure and resources for faculty mentoring, to catalyze sustainable incremental improvements in research administration to attract new funding, and to provide new and existing faculty with expertise, for long term capacity to train students to enter biomedical and behavioral research careers. This overall goal will be implemented via 1) Growing competency, policy, and organizational structure for long-term effects by establishing bylaws, assessment procedures, and restructuring research administration services to ensure efficiency and guide institutional improvements in research administration over time.; 2) Increasing faculty productivity and effectiveness in competing for external research funding with a step-by-step pre-award training for submitting a competitive proposal; facilitated by favorable working conditions, incentives, peer-support networks, and mentoring tailored to individual needs, and 3) Improving compliance services for biomedical and socio-behavioral research through coordinated integration of functions between the two units that offer most of these services to most faculty with biomedically-related projects: the UPR-C Office of Sponsored Projects and Research (OSP&R) and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research (IIR). This proposal is innovative for UPR-C in that it 1) puts in place administrative policy and infrastructure transformations that promote better continuity between appointments of upper administrators, 2) provide a coordinated beginning-to-end mentoring program for faculty in grantsmanship, and 3) is based on collaboration and consolidation of research administration support services between the OSP&R and IIR for greater efficiency and better service. The proposed approach will place administrative support services closer to researchers and students active in biomedical, socio-behavioral research at the IIR, while centralizing final approval and at the OSP&R, thereby increasing IIR's efficiency in assisting OSP&R staff in the preparation and submission of required reports and ethical compliance certifications. The Expected Outcomes will include a proven, model for attaining sustainability in research administration at predominantly undergraduate minority- serving institutions facing similar institutional transformation and challenges.

 描述(由申请者提供)：波多黎各大学凯伊分校(UPR-C)寻求资金，以发展卫生研究管理能力。UPR-C在全国排名第13位，是STEM学科西班牙裔博士的文凭来源机构。但预算削减(2008-2013年间为13%)和终身教职教师因退休而流失(2006-2014年间为25%)，都对校园管理生物医学和行为科学外部资金以及指导新教师的能力构成了挑战。最近的改进包括计划在2015年招聘10名新员工。这项提议将利用现有的UPR-C研究管理基础设施和教师指导资源，促进研究管理的可持续增量改进，以吸引新的资金，并为新的和现有的教师提供专业知识，以培养学生进入生物医学和行为学的长期能力 从事研究工作。这一总体目标将通过以下方式实现：1)通过建立规章制度、评估程序和重组研究管理服务来提高能力、政策和组织结构，以实现长期效果，以确保研究管理的效率，并随着时间的推移指导研究管理机构的改进。2)通过提交竞争性提案的逐步颁奖前培训，提高教师在竞争外部研究资金方面的生产力和有效性；3)通过协调整合两个单位的职能，改善生物医学和社会行为研究的合规服务，这两个单位是：UPR-C赞助项目和研究办公室(OSP&R)和跨学科研究所(IIR)。这一建议对UPR-C来说是创新的，因为它1)制定了行政政策和基础设施改革，促进了高层管理人员任命之间更好的连续性，2)为教师提供了协调的从头到尾的指导计划，3)基于OSP&R和IIR之间的合作和巩固研究管理支持服务，以实现更高的效率和更好的服务。拟议的方法将使IIR的行政支持服务更接近活跃在生物医学、社会行为研究的研究人员和学生，同时集中最终批准和OSP&R，从而提高IIR在协助OSP&R工作人员编写和提交所需报告和道德合规认证方面的效率。预期结果将包括一个经过验证的模式，在以本科生为主、服务于少数群体的机构中实现研究管理的可持续性，这些机构面临类似的机构转型和挑战。
