Bowie State University SPAD Program

在过去的五年里，鲍伊州立大学为教师提供了一般培训，以增强 寻求拨款，并建立了一个程序，以指导部分回收的设施和 首席调查员及其所属部门和 大学。通过这次F&A重新分配，研究基金也被设立来支持小规模试点 涉及教职员工和学生的项目。该大学还为本科生设立了课程 研究和教师在各自领域的专业发展。这些举措与积极和 从2015年到现在，敬业的教职员工导致外部资金增加了40%，这在很大程度上 专注于劳动力发展和教育培训方案，研究资金有限 特别是在与计算机科学相关的学科中。 鲍伊州立大学在生物医学科学方面的研究增长面临着许多障碍。 由于教学负担很大，教员在寻求拨款和深入研究方面的时间有限。 研究参与度和分享研究想法和培育伙伴关系的时间一直很稀缺。这个 大学也没有积极地为生物医学相关的研究支持寻求资金。这个 鲍伊州立大学SPAD计划将使该大学能够利用当前的计划和 倡议，让合作伙伴参与积极的外部赞助的生物医学研究项目，并提供 培训和建立关系的倡议，以增加赞助项目的援助，教员研究 和培训，以及在生物医学科学方面成功地寻求赠款。 该项目的具体目标是与北卡罗来纳州立大学的战略计划保持一致，目的是： 具体目标1.增加研究办公室和赞助项目的培训，以支持教师研究 以及学生对研究的投入。 具体目标2.建立教职员工参与、协作和为学生提供培训的研究能力 生物医学研究。 具体目标3.提高教师开发和提交竞争性生物医学研究的能力 提案。

Over the past five years, Bowie State University has provided general training for faculty to enhance grant seeking pursuits and established a process to direct a portion of recovered facilities and administrative (F&A) costs to Principal Investigators (PIs), and their respective departments and colleges. Through this F&A re-allocation, the research fund was also established to support small pilot projects involving faculty and students. The University has also established programs for undergraduate research and faculty professional development in their fields. These initiatives coupled with active and devoted faculty have led to a 40% increase in external funding from 2015 to present, which has largely focused on workforce development and education training programs and limited research funding particularly in computer science-related disciplines. There are a number of barriers to growing research in the biomedical sciences at Bowie State University. With high teaching loads, faculty are limited in their time to devote to grant seeking and in-depth research engagement and time to share research ideas and cultivate partnerships has been scarce. The University has also not been active in seeking funding for biomedical-related research support. The Bowie State University SPAD program will enable the University to leverage current programs and initiatives, engage partners with active externally sponsored biomedical research programs, and provide training and relationship building initiatives to increase sponsored programs assistance, faculty research and training, and successful grant seeking in the biomedical sciences. The specific aims of the project, in alignment with the BSU strategic plan, are to: Specific Aim 1. Increase Office of Research and Sponsored Programs training to bolster faculty research and student engagement in research. Specific Aim 2. Build research capacity for faculty to engage, collaborate and provide student training in biomedical research. Specific Aim 3. Enhance the ability of faculty to develop and submit competitive biomedical research proposals.
