 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Specifically, KEMRI plans over the next three years to develop an Office of Sponsored Research to support the institution's scientists to apply for and manage extramural grants and contracts. The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has an over 12 year history of scientific collaboration with KEMRI. Thus, UCSF will assist KEMRI to achieve its goal to improve and expand the administrative capacity by employing hybrid learning models to train and mentor selected KEMRI administrative staff and faculty responsible for pre- through post-award functions. Following a needs assessment in year 1, training will be accomplished through intensive internships at UCSF, partnering networks, in-country workshops, and distance and online learning. This partnership will build uwezo (a Swahili word for capacity, competence, or ability) in KEMRI. The specific aims are: (1) to conduct a needs assessment at KEMRI identifying and measuring the area of greatest institutional risk and research infrastructure gaps; (2) to provide a comprehensive, vigorous, and innovative training program that will continue to grow KEMRI as one of the leading research institutions in Africa. The learning objectives, which will be derived from the needs assessment will examine the grant life cycle: seeking grant opportunity, application preparation, submission, negotiation, award acceptance, compliance monitoring, financial management, and award close out; (3) to transform the existing Grantsmanship department into an established Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) providing high quality pre- and post-award support to researchers while balancing institutional and sponsor compliance requirements; (4) to develop a long-term sustainability roadmap that will direct and support the OSR activities after the completion of this project. The planning process will determine the optimal organization structure, role, and resources required to implement and maintain this new state; (5) to develop a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan using a logic model listing short and long-term goals as the basis for this activity.

 描述（由适用提供）：特别是，Kemri计划在未来三年内开发一个赞助研究办公室，以支持该机构的科学家申请和管理壁外赠款和合同。加利福尼亚大学旧金山大学（UCSF）与Kemri有12年以上的科学合作历史。这是，UCSF将通过采用混合学习模型来培训和导师选择Kemri的行政人员和教师，以帮助Kemri实现其目标，以提高和扩大行政能力。遵循第1年的需求评估，将通过在UCSF，合作网络，国内研讨会以及距离和在线学习来完成培训。这种合作伙伴关系将在凯姆里建立乌韦佐（以实现能力，能力或能力）。具体目的是：（1）在Kemri进行需求评估，以识别和衡量最大的机构风险和研究基础设施差距； （2）提供一项全面，充满活力和创新的培训计划，该计划将继续发展为非洲领先的研究机构之一。将从需求评估中得出的学习目标将检查赠款生命周期：寻求赠款机会，申请准备，提交，谈判，奖励接受，合规性监控，财务管理和奖励关闭； （3）将现有的赠款部门转变为已建立的赞助研究办公室（OSR），为研究人员提供高质量的前和后授予后的支持，同时平衡机构和赞助商的合规性要求； （4）开发长期可持续性路线图，该路线图将在完成此前指导和支持OSR活动 项目。计划过程将确定实施和维护这一新状态所需的最佳组织结构，角色和资源； （5）使用逻辑模型列出短期和长期目标作为此活动的基础，制定监视和评估（M＆E）计划。
