Bowie State University SPAD Program

在过去的五年里，鲍伊州立大学为教师提供了一般培训，以提高 赠款寻求追求，并建立了一个程序，以指导一部分回收设施， 主要研究者（PI）及其各自部门的行政（F&A）费用， 院校通过这次F&A再分配，还设立了研究基金，用于支持小型试点 涉及教师和学生的项目。该大学还设立了本科课程， 研究和教师在各自领域的专业发展。这些举措加上积极和 从2015年到现在，投入的教师导致外部资金增加了40%，这在很大程度上 专注于劳动力发展和教育培训计划以及有限的研究资金 特别是在计算机科学相关学科。 在鲍伊州立大学，生物医学科学研究的发展面临着许多障碍。 由于教学负担很高，教师们的时间有限，无法投入到寻求资助和深入研究中去。 参与研究和交流研究想法及培养伙伴关系的时间很少。的 该大学也没有积极寻求生物医学相关研究支持的资金。的 鲍伊州立大学SPAD计划将使大学能够利用现有的计划， 倡议，让合作伙伴参与积极的外部赞助的生物医学研究计划，并提供 培训和建立关系的举措，以增加赞助计划的援助，教师的研究 和培训，并在生物医学科学成功地寻求赠款。 该项目的具体目标与BSU战略计划一致，是： 具体目标1。增加研究和赞助项目办公室的培训，以支持教师的研究 和学生参与研究的能力。 具体目标2。为教师建立研究能力，以参与，合作和提供学生培训， 生物医学研究 具体目标3。提高教师开发和提交有竞争力的生物医学研究的能力 提案

Over the past five years, Bowie State University has provided general training for faculty to enhance grant seeking pursuits and established a process to direct a portion of recovered facilities and administrative (F&A) costs to Principal Investigators (PIs), and their respective departments and colleges. Through this F&A re-allocation, the research fund was also established to support small pilot projects involving faculty and students. The University has also established programs for undergraduate research and faculty professional development in their fields. These initiatives coupled with active and devoted faculty have led to a 40% increase in external funding from 2015 to present, which has largely focused on workforce development and education training programs and limited research funding particularly in computer science-related disciplines. There are a number of barriers to growing research in the biomedical sciences at Bowie State University. With high teaching loads, faculty are limited in their time to devote to grant seeking and in-depth research engagement and time to share research ideas and cultivate partnerships has been scarce. The University has also not been active in seeking funding for biomedical-related research support. The Bowie State University SPAD program will enable the University to leverage current programs and initiatives, engage partners with active externally sponsored biomedical research programs, and provide training and relationship building initiatives to increase sponsored programs assistance, faculty research and training, and successful grant seeking in the biomedical sciences. The specific aims of the project, in alignment with the BSU strategic plan, are to: Specific Aim 1. Increase Office of Research and Sponsored Programs training to bolster faculty research and student engagement in research. Specific Aim 2. Build research capacity for faculty to engage, collaborate and provide student training in biomedical research. Specific Aim 3. Enhance the ability of faculty to develop and submit competitive biomedical research proposals.
