The Shaw NCMHD RIMI Project

描述（由申请人提供）：一个持续的挑战是将研究实践有序地融入到大学的运作中，与邵氏长期以来的教育和服务承诺相结合。一个全面的。需要全校范围的方法来永久固定研究基础设施，以支持Shaw不断增长的研究风险。从实施几个主要研究奖项中吸取的教训清楚地突出了Shaw的研究基础设施的不足，但这些教训也清楚地表明，这些不足是可以克服的，像Shaw这样的机构可以建立一个可持续的研究基础设施。需要进一步加强核心研究基础设施，以确保研究企业的长期可持续性。邵逸夫大学在实施和完成获奖研究项目方面，已建立了高质量和高效率的基准。随着研究基础设施核心的建立，Shaw现在正准备成为一个独立和自我维持的研究机构。邵逸夫大学响应国家少数民族院校研究基础设施（RIMI） （P20）的RFA-MD-09-003，寻求建立“邵逸夫国家少数民族院校研究基础设施计划”。Shaw NCMHD RIMI项目将为Shaw大学协调、全面、全校范围的研究基础设施增强计划的实施提供资源。这些努力的结果将是：(a)邵逸夫更大的研究密集型氛围，(b)更多的研究机会，(c)增加研究支持，(d)提高研究生产力，特别是对接受邵逸夫NCMHD RIMI项目支持的教师，以及(e)邵逸夫学生更多的研究培训机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A continuing challenge is the orderly infusion of research practice into University operations in tandem with Shaw's long standing education and service commitments. A comprehensive. University-wide approach is needed to permanently anchor the research infrastructure to support the growing research venture at Shaw. The lessons learned from the implementation of several major research awards clearly highlighted the inadequacy of the research infrastructure at Shaw, but those lessons also clearly demonstrated that the inadequacies could be overcome and an institution such as Shaw can established a sustainable research infrastructure. Further enhancement of the core research infrastructure is needed to ensure long term sustainability of the research enterprise. Shaw University has established benchmarks of high quality performance and efficiency in implementing and completing awarded research projects. With the research infrastructure core established, Shaw is now poised to move closer to becoming an independent and self-sustaining research institution. In response to RFA-MD-09-003 by the NCMHD Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions (RIMI) (P20), Shaw University seeks to establish the "Shaw NCMHD RIMI Project" .The Shaw NCMHD RIMI Project will provide the resources for implementation of a coordinated, comprehensive, university-wide research infrastructure enhancement program at Shaw. The results of such efforts will be (a) a greater research-intensive atmosphere at Shaw, (b) more research opportunities, (c) increased research support, (d) greater research productivity, especially for faculty receiving Shaw NCMHD RIMI Project support, and (e) greater research training opportunities for Shaw students.
