Extramural Asociates Research Development Award (EARDA)

描述(由申请者提供)：班尼特女子学院致力于支持和扩大研究发展办公室的活动，该办公室由第一阶段和第二阶段FRESP EARDA奖项建立和支持。这一支持将在FRESP EARDA奖过渡期内继续提供。此外，学院将在过渡期后提供资源和财政支持，以维持和扩大其活动。过渡奖的长期目标是增加科学教师在生物医学和行为科学领域提交的研究申请的数量。TRANSION FRESP EARDA奖的目标是(1)增加理科教师在生物医学和行为科学领域向NIH、NSF和其他联邦机构提交的资助申请的数量，(2)每年为理科教师提供试点研究项目奖，以获得初步数据，(3)增加学生在校内外的暑期研究机会，(4)与研究密集型机构建立研究合作，(5)在班尼特学院每学期举办一次科学研讨会，以及(6)增加进入研究生院和专业学校的学生人数，并从事研究工作。该中心会举办申请书撰写工作坊、协助教职员和学生出席研究研讨会和专业会议、为学生举办暑期机会论坛、安排探访研究生院和专业学校，以及与研究密集的机构建立合作伙伴关系。所有这些活动都旨在提高理科学生的研究技能，并激励他们在生物医学和行为科学领域追求研究事业。在资助期内和之后，将继续举办与在线资助金信息搜索、资助金撰写、向联邦资助金机构提交电子资助金申请有关的讲习班。对研究发展办公室活动的评估将通过问卷调查和学院研究咨询委员会的反馈来完成。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Bennett College for Women is committed to support and expand the activities of the Office of Research Development, established and supported by Phase I and Phase II FRESP EARDA awards. This support will be continued during the Transition FRESP EARDA Award period. In addition, the College will provide resources and financial support beyond the transition period to maintain and expand its activities. The long-term goal of the Transition Award is to increase the number of research applications submitted by science faculty in the area of biomedical and behavioral sciences. The objectives of the Transition FRESP EARDA Award are (1) to increase the number of grant applications submitted to NIH, NSF, and other Federal agencies by science faculty in the area of biomedical and behavioral sciences, (2) to sponsor pilot research project awards annually for science faculty to obtain preliminary data, (3) to enhance intramural and extramural summer research opportunities for students, (4) to establish research collaborations with research intensive institutions, (5) to conduct one scientific symposium each semester at Bennett College, and (6) to increase the number of students entering graduate and professional schools and pursue research careers. The PI will conduct application writing workshops, facilitate faculty and students attending research seminars and professional meetings, organize summer opportunities forums for students, arrange visits to graduate and professional schools, and establish collaborative partnerships with research intensive institutions. All these activities are designed to enhance research skills of science students and motivate them to pursue research careers in biomedical and behavioral sciences. Workshops related to on-line grant information search, grant writing, electronic grant application submission to Federal grant agencies will continue during and beyond the grant period. Assessment of the activities of the Office of Research Development will be accomplished through questionnaires and feedback from the Faculty Research Advisory committee.
