描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是校外联合研究发展奖（EARDA）的申请；代表史密斯学院的教员研究增强支持计划（FRESP）。该申请寻求在克拉克科学中心内建立一个研究发展办公室，旨在为学生提供研究机会，并为史密斯学院的教师提供资助机会。为此，学院提名Philip Peake博士参加FRESP项目为期10周的住院医师培训。培训结束后，Peake博士将被授予建立和发展研究发展办公室的全部权力，为史密斯的所有科学服务，但特别强调生物医学和行为科学。史密斯学院是美国最大的致力于女性教育的文理学院。史密斯学院的科学系在为学生提供服务和提高总体生产力方面都在迅速发展。我们的项目和部门的快速增长最清楚地见证了学院最近承诺建立一个新的科学中心综合体。研究发展办公室被认为是对史密斯学院不断扩大的科学和研究的及时和关键的补充。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for an Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA); Faculty Research Enhancement Support Program (FRESP) on behalf of Smith College. The application seeks to establish an Office of Research Development within the Clark Science Center with the intent to support research opportunities for students and funding opportunities for faculty at Smith. To this end, the College is nominating Dr. Philip Peake to participate in the 10-week residency training component of the FRESP Program. Upon returning from this training, Dr. Peake will be given full authority to establish and develop the Office of Research Development to serve all of the sciences at Smith, but with special emphasis on the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Smith College is the largest liberal arts institution in the country devoted to the education of women. The science departments at Smith are rapidly growing both in terms of service to students and general productivity. The rapid growth of our programs and departments is most clearly witnessed in the College's recent commitment to build a new Science Center complex. The Office of Research Development is viewed as a timely and critical complement to the expanding presence of science and research at Smith.
