DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): EARDA's goal of increasing research opportunities for underserved populations has resulted in the establishment, through FRESP I and II funding, of an Office of Sponsored Programs and Research Development (OSP/RD) and increased federal funding and student research opportunities at Mary Baldwin College, a private women's liberal arts college, with a 33% minority enrollment. Transitional funding for this project will continue to support faculty and student research in public health related and other scientific fields at MBC, as well as provide for continuity of administrative support for OSP/RD. Since its inception in 2001, the OSP/RD, Lydia Petersson, Director, has had a tangible impact on the intellectual culture at Mary Baldwin College. Federal funding for sponsored programs was zero in FY 2001. Since FY 2002, the College has received $1,230,692 in federal awards for research and sponsored programs, including grants from NOAA and the U.S. Department of Education as well as NIH. In all, 62 applications valued at more than $8.7 million have been facilitated by OSP/RD during the grant period to date, and $3.499 million has been awarded in research and sponsored programs support from federal and state agencies and private foundations. Despite this marked increase, however, institutional funds and indirect costs recovery cannot at present fully constitute the budget of the OSP/RD. In order to maintain the progress toward increased faculty and student research opportunities at MBC, this project will include funds for further support of the Research Initiative Fund, a pilot grant fund for MBC faculty that allows faculty to initiate public-health related research projects by providing funds for summer/release time support, equipment, supplies, and funding for student research assistants. Additional funds are requested for partial salary support for the Director of OSP/RD, who leads the effort to increase externally funded faculty projects, and the Assistant Director, who oversees compliance with federal research regulations, such as the Animal Welfare Act. Further support is also sought for personnel in support of laboratory facilities, allowing science faculty increased research time by lifting some of the burden for laboratory and equipment management, at present fully borne by them. This project will continue to provide scientific, public-health related, research opportunities for women, including women of color, in a teaching setting, strengthening the nation's supply of skilled public health research personnel.

描述(由申请人提供)：EARDA的目标是为服务不足的人群增加研究机会，通过FRESP I和II的资助，建立了一个赞助项目和研究发展办公室(OSP/RD)，并增加了联邦资金和玛丽·鲍德温学院的学生研究机会，玛丽·鲍德温学院是一所私立女子文科学院，少数族裔入学人数为33%。该项目的过渡性资金将继续支持MBC公共卫生相关领域和其他科学领域的教职员工和学生的研究，并为OSP/RD提供持续的行政支持。自2001年成立以来，OSP/RD主任莉迪亚·彼得森对玛丽·鲍德温学院的知识文化产生了切实的影响。2001财年，联邦政府对赞助项目的资助为零。自2002财年以来，该学院已因研究和赞助项目获得了1230692美元的联邦奖励，其中包括来自NOAA、美国教育部以及NIH的赠款。到目前为止，在赠款期间，OSP/RD总共协助了62项申请，价值超过870万美元，联邦和州机构以及私人基金会在研究和赞助项目支持方面获得了349.9万美元的支持。然而，尽管有这一显著增长，机构资金和间接费用回收目前还不能完全构成OSP/RD的预算。为了保持在增加MBC教师和学生研究机会方面的进展，该项目将包括进一步支持研究倡议基金的资金，这是一项针对MBC教师的试点赠款基金，允许教师通过提供资金用于暑期/放假时间支持、设备、用品和学生研究助理的资金，以启动与公共卫生相关的研究项目。需要额外资金，以支付OSP/RD主任和助理主任的部分工资支持，前者领导增加外部资助教员项目的努力，后者负责监督遵守联邦研究法规，如《动物福利法》。还寻求为支持实验室设施的人员提供进一步的支持，通过减轻目前完全由他们承担的实验室和设备管理的一些负担，使理科教师能够增加研究时间。该项目将继续在教学环境中为包括有色人种妇女在内的妇女提供与公共卫生相关的科学研究机会，加强国家对熟练公共卫生研究人员的供应。
