NORTHWESTERN-UNIJOS MENTORED PROGRAM FOR ENHANCED RESEARCH ADMINISTRATION (NUMPERA)

项目总结 乔斯大学共有1,612名教职员工，其中350多人从事密集或受资助的工作 研究。在大学国际资助研究的历史上，国家研究院 卫生部(NIH)赞助了更多的项目，但大多是分包合同。乔斯有美国国立卫生研究院资助的历史， 作为主要奖项和子奖，大多数奖项是来自Fogarty、NCI和 最近收到了国家传染病过敏研究所(NIAID)的资助，后遗症 2018年获得拉塞尔热病奖和西非新发传染病中心(WACEID) 于2020年获奖。该大学有15个学院(学院/学院)：其中7个是临床和 生物医学科学以及在获得当地和国际赠款方面最积极的机构。临床/生物医学 理工学院需要强有力的研究行政支持，才能最大限度地发挥作用。八所学院 通过人文、教育、法律、物理和地球科学、工程、计算机科学、 农业和社会科学也需要支持。所有院系的颁奖前和颁奖后活动： 乔斯大学由研究发展办公室(ORD)提供支持，该办公室负责所有 赠款管理活动，财务管理除外。财务管理由一个人领导 世卫组织支持乔斯大学和乔斯大学教学医院。为了支持这些学院， 将在NIAID/NIH赠款资金方面对ORD和财务管理的主要管理人员进行培训 以及在芝加哥西北大学的管理实践和实践经验。这些培训 将降级到ORD工作人员，为初级RAS和论坛制定指导计划，以增强 教职员工了解NIAID/NIH指南。该计划将部署增强的业务 ORD支持教职员工开发成功的研究资助申请的方法也是如此 作为管理科研的行政效率。NIAID的资金还将帮助重新定位 建立一些部门研究办公室并对他们进行培训，制定研究政策 运营，研究所研究行政和管理的可持续性。对工作机具的投资 将提高研究办公室的绩效，为高效的研究提供电子解决方案 企业并将关于NIAID/NIH赠款管理政策和资助机会的培训扩展到 尼日利亚的一些当地研究机构。这一计划的预期结果是改善了 UNIJOS的研究管理，增加NIAID/NIH的资金，遵守赠款管理政策 并将ORD定位为有效地激励和协调机构进行密集的研究

PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Jos has a total of 1,612 academic staff with over 350 engaged in intensive or sponsored researches. In the history of international grant-supported researches in the university, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have sponsored more projects, yet mostly sub-contracts. Jos has a history of NIH funding, both as prime and as a subaward with the majority of awards being subawards, from Fogarty, NCI, and recently received its funding from National Institutes Allergies of Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the Sequelae of Lasser Fever awarded in 2018 and the West African Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases (WACEID) awarded in 2020. The University has 15 faculties (colleges/schools): Seven of these are clinical and biomedical sciences and the most active in securing grants locally and internationally. The clinical/biomedical science faculties require vigorous research administrative support to perform maximally. The 8 Faculties spreads through humanities, education, law, physical and earth sciences, engineering, computer sciences, agriculture and social sciences and require support too. The pre- and post-award activities for all faculties at University of Jos are supported by the Office for Research Development (ORD) which is responsible for all grants management activities except for financial management. Financial management is led by one person who supports both University of Jos and Jos University Teaching Hospital. To support these faculties, the lead administrators from ORD and for financial management will be trained in the NIAID/NIH grant funding and management practices and practical experience at Northwestern University Chicago. These trainings will be stepped-down to the ORD staff, mentoring programs developed for junior RAs and fora to enhance faculty members understanding of NIAID/NIH guidelines. The program will deploy enhanced business approaches for ORD to support faculty members in developing successful research grant applications as well as administrative efficiency in managing researches. The NIAID funding will also help reposition the units of the ORD, establish some departmental research offices and train them, develop policies for research operations, institute sustainability of research administration and management. The investment in work tools will enhance the performance of the research office, provide electronic solutions for efficient research enterprise and extend training on the NIAID/NIH grants management policies and funding opportunities to some local research institutions in Nigeria. The expected outcome of this program is an improved system of research administration in UNIJOS, increased NIAID/NIH funding, adherence to grants management policies and positioning the ORD to effectively galvanize and coordinate the institution to a research intensive
