SPAD at Auburn University at Montgomery Like STEM faculty at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) everywhere, Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) faculty must overcome a daunting array of disincentives to pursue external funding. Heavy teaching loads, lack of dedicated research space or time for research, an unfamiliarity with grant programs and procedures, a perception that the likelihood of success was remote, even the ready availability of summer teaching opportunities, all acted to create a faculty culture of low expectations with regards to grant seeking. But with a range of new initiatives designed to better serve the needs of our diverse student body, AUM is experiencing a cultural change, where expectations for faculty research and engagement are escalating rapidly. At this critical juncture, AUM has crucial need for an expanded and reorganized OSPR. In support of new initiatives and a changing campus culture focusing on research and engagement, AUM is seeking SPAD funding to reorganize and expand its Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to keep pace with the rapidly growing faculty interest in pursuing external grant funding. The specific aims of the project are to: 1. Increase the capabilities of the OSP by hiring and training new staff and providing them with the competency- based training and professional development that includes training and building an infrastructure that supports continuing education in this area. 2. Establish new OSP services, policies, and procedures for the development and submission of applications and provide training and support to faculty in these new services, policies, and procedures; 3. Develop a faculty reward structure that emphasizes cost sharing and workload management to promote research and creative activity; 4. Expand collaborative research partnerships and funding opportunities for faculty and students, especially with Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. 5. Offer students the opportunity to work with faculty and the OSP to acquire grant writing skills; and 6. Partner with the AUM Office of Diversity to offer scaffolded workshops in cultural competency for faculty to facilitate creating effective grant writing teams for grants targeted at PUIs. The SPAD grant would enable AUM to create an OSPR that would play an important role in fostering this new culture of research and scholarship, that would encourage grant-assisted faculty training and curriculum development, and help create new programs for research training and mentorship of underprivileged African- American students, who comprise 42% of our student population. The success of the project will be determined by measuring increases in faculty interactions with the OSP, in proposal submissions, in the creation of new research collaborations, in the expanded mentoring of student researchers, and in the volume of publications.

位于蒙哥马利的奥本大学SPAD 就像世界各地的私立本科院校（PUI）的STEM教师一样，奥本大学也是如此。 蒙哥马利（AUM）的教师必须克服一系列令人生畏的阻碍因素，以寻求外部资金。重 教学负担，缺乏专门的研究空间或时间进行研究，不熟悉赠款计划， 程序，认为成功的可能性是遥远的，即使是夏天的现成可用性， 教学机会，都采取行动，以创造一个低期望的教师文化方面的赠款寻求。但 通过一系列旨在更好地满足我们多样化学生群体需求的新举措，AUM 经历文化变革，对教师研究和参与的期望正在迅速上升。 在这个关键时刻，AUM迫切需要扩大和重组OSPR。 为了支持新的举措和不断变化的校园文化，重点是研究和参与，AUM 正在寻求SPAD的资金，以重组和扩大其赞助项目办公室（OSP），以跟上 迅速增长的教师对寻求外部赠款资金的兴趣。该项目的具体目标是： 1.通过雇用和培训新员工并为他们提供能力，提高OSP的能力- 基础培训和专业发展，包括培训和建立基础设施， 继续教育在这个领域。 2.为开发和提交应用程序建立新的OSP服务、政策和程序 并提供培训和支持，以教师在这些新的服务，政策和程序; 3.制定一个教师奖励结构，强调成本分担和工作量管理，以促进 研究和创造性活动; 4.扩大合作研究伙伴关系，为教师和学生提供资助机会，特别是与 奥本大学和伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学。 5.为学生提供与教师和OSP合作的机会，以获得赠款写作技能; 6.与多样性AUM办公室合作，为教师提供文化能力的脚手架研讨会， 为针对PUI的赠款创建有效的赠款编写团队。 SPAD赠款将使AUM能够创建一个OSPR，这将在促进这一目标方面发挥重要作用。 新的研究和学术文化，这将鼓励赠款援助的教师培训和课程 发展，并帮助建立新的项目，为贫困的非洲人提供研究培训和指导， 美国学生，占我们学生人数的42%。该项目的成功将取决于 通过测量教师与OSP互动的增加，在提案提交中，在创建新的 研究合作，在扩大指导学生研究人员，并在出版物的数量。
