Conference: Research Analytics Summit: Building Capacity, Empowering Skill Transfer, and Energizing a Growing Community

GRANTED倡议强调需要鼓励各种高等教育机构，特别是新兴研究机构和少数民族服务机构（MSI）的学术探究和知识创造。特别是在部落学院和大学（TCU），有一个独特的机会来支持创新的认识论和本体论框架，这些框架可以为处理气候变化，粮食安全和环境变化等问题提供重要的见解。随着各种知识创造和解决问题的机会，有效支持基础和应用研究的新模式至关重要。利用数据来更好地理解、支持和识别学术探究的独特特征将是峰会的一个独特而有价值的成果，峰会将有意地包容不同的机构，欢迎它们加入研究管理界。不应将通过技合单位的研究创造和获取知识的潜在新方法视为与传统的学术探究模式相竞争。相反，这些框架可以补充主流西方科学，为调查、发现和理解提供新的透镜。本项目的目标是举办一次全国峰会，重点关注与研究管理中使用数据知情决策相关的关键领域，称为研究分析。这将是第一次致力于研究分析和数据从业者领域的会议。研究分析在主要的研究管理会议上处于起步阶段。许多在这个领域工作的专业人士只把它作为他们职位职责的一小部分，他们通常没有受过数据分析或商业智能系统的培训。会议的成果包括专业指导框架，专业合作，专业发展，会议记录材料，并可能确定未来的研究分析资金的机会。峰会将包括来自各种研究密集型机构的参与者，包括关注新兴研究机构，部落学院和大学以及其他少数民族服务机构。峰会将通过分享最佳做法、技能发展和建立网络来帮助能力建设。会议将侧重于与人力资本和技术及技能有关的领域。这些主题将允许领导，文化，治理和技术的相互联系，以提供知情和战略决策的研究enterprise.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。

The GRANTED initiative highlights the need to encourage academic inquiry and knowledge creation from a wide variety of higher education institutions, especially emerging research institutions and minority-serving institutions (MSI’s). At Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in particular, there is a unique opportunity to support innovative epistemological and ontological frameworks that may offer important insights for dealing with issues like climate change, food security, and environmental change. With opportunities for different kinds of knowledge creation and problem-solving, it is critical to effectively support new models for what counts as basic and applied research. Using data to better understand, support, and identify unique characteristics of academic inquiry would be a unique and valuable outcome of the summit, which would be intentionally inclusive in welcoming diverse institutions into the research administration community. The potentially new ways of creating and apprehending knowledge through research at TCUs should not be seen as competing with traditional modes of academic inquiry. Rather, these frameworks can complement mainstream western science, offering a new lens for inquiry, discovery, and understanding.The goal of this project is to host a national summit that focuses on key areas related to the use of data-informed decision-making within research administration, called Research Analytics. This will be the first of its kind conference dedicated to the field of research analytics and data-practitioners. Research Analytics is in its infancy at major research administration conferences. Many professionals working in this space have taken it on as only a small part of their position duties, and they are often not trained in data analysis or business intelligence systems. Outcomes of the meeting include a professional mentoring framework, professional collaboration, professional development, conference proceeding materials, and possibly identify future funding opportunities focused on research analytics. The summit will include participants from a variety of research intensive institutions including a focus on emerging research institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other minority-serving institutions. The summit will help build capacity through sharing of best practices, skill development, and building of networks. The meeting will focus on areas related to human capital and technology and skills. These themes will allow for interconnectivity of leadership, culture, governance, and technology—to provide informed and strategic decision-making within the research enterprise.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
