DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application for phase III funding is to further enhance the research capabilities at Stephens College by supporting the following activities: (1) increase the opportunities for faculty to conduct research in the biomedical and behavioral areas by providing funds for pilot projects to be used to compete for nationally recognized grants in science research and training, and to provide release time on a competitive basis to two faculty per year; (2) increase the awareness of the OSP Director of new NIH and related agencies' research and training opportunities by traveling to NIH and other government agencies annually; (3) expand the abilities of the OSP to continue to train faculty and staff in research and training grant application and preparation by offering grant writing workshops annually as well as the continued development of procedures and policies within our online grant writers handbook, with a special focus on revising our IRB guidelines and forms and to undertake and complete the institutional capability assessment; (4) continue to expand our efforts to create research collaborative activities with the University of Missouri, Lincoln University, and the Cancer Research Center by writing collaborative grants and conducting collaborative research; (5) increase student participation in research, and subsequently their desire to pursue careers in science and research, by providing student mentoring and research opportunities with faculty through our research internship program, bringing in guest speakers, and by encouraging students to pursue REU experiences in the summer at major research institutions; (6) to continue to expand our technologies thereby gaining opportunities to seek Federal and non-Federal resources which provide financial support to biomedical and behavioral research and training programs. A number of grant opportunities already exist specifically designed to enhance the research opportunities for underrepresented minorities in biomedical and behavioral sciences, like the RISE, SCORE, MARC and BRIDGES grants. However, Stephens College, as a tradition women's institution, does not qualify for any of these special opportunities. This requires Stephens College to be competitive with larger and well-established schools for funds. Continuation of this grant will serve to further the goal of the college to increase our competitiveness for external funding and improve our excellence in research training.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请第三阶段资助的目的是通过支持以下活动进一步提高斯蒂芬斯学院的研究能力：（1）增加教师在生物医学和行为领域进行研究的机会，为试点项目提供资金，用于竞争国家认可的科学研究和培训赠款，（2）通过每年到NIH和其他政府机构出差，提高OSP主任对新的NIH和相关机构的研究和培训机会的认识;（三）扩大OSP的能力，继续培训教师和工作人员在研究和培训补助金的申请和准备，每年提供补助金写作讲习班，以及继续在我们的在线赠款作者手册中制定程序和政策，特别侧重于修订我们的IRB指南和表格，并进行和完成机构能力评估;（4）继续扩大与密苏里州大学、林肯大学、和癌症研究中心通过撰写合作赠款和进行合作研究;（5）增加学生参与研究，从而提高他们追求科学和研究事业的愿望，通过我们的研究实习计划，为学生提供指导和研究机会，邀请客座演讲者，并鼓励学生在夏季在主要研究机构追求REU经验;（6）继续扩大我们的技术，从而获得机会，寻求联邦和非联邦资源，为生物医学和行为研究和培训计划提供财政支持。 一些赠款机会已经存在，专门用于增加在生物医学和行为科学中代表性不足的少数民族的研究机会，如RISE，SCORE，MARC和BRIDGES赠款。然而，斯蒂芬斯学院，作为一个传统的妇女机构，没有资格获得任何这些特殊的机会。这就要求斯蒂芬斯学院在资金方面与规模更大、地位更高的学校竞争。继续这项补助金将有助于进一步学院的目标，以提高我们的竞争力，外部资金和提高我们的卓越研究培训。
