SPONSORED RESEARCH INFRASTUCTURE PROGRAM (SRIP): EARDA TRANSITION

描述（由申请人提供）：摩根州立大学校外合作伙伴发展奖（EARDA）的总体目标是在加强大学资助的研究企业方面取得重大进展，并建立高质量的研究行政基础设施。特别是，它旨在利用EARDA的支持与机构资源，以增加大学的研究活力，特别是在生物医学和行为科学方面。自EARDA支持开始以来，该大学投入了大量内部资源，以加强其物质和方案基础设施。校外资助总额及研究申请数目均有大幅增加；它还开设了生物科学、公共卫生和工程方面的博士课程。目前的续期申请是一项为期两年的过渡支助申请，以帮助我们在上一个资助期内取得进展，并将已经取得的基础设施改善工作制度化。具体目标是：(1)为教师研究人员的探索性研究提供小额资助，这一策略旨在吸引新的研究人员和研究思路，从而扩大活跃研究人员的数量，并产生更多的校外资助申请；(2)提供应用开发工作坊、研讨会和技术援助，这些在过去已被证明有效地激发了对资助研究的兴趣，并向初级或缺乏经验的教员传授了研究发展的基础知识；(3)提供免费访问基于订阅者的研究资助数据库，如科学共同体（COS）和赞助项目信息网络（SPIN Plus），这有助于主动寻找资助机会，识别潜在的外部合作者，以及建立新的跨学科合作伙伴关系；（四）促进电子科研管理的技术改进；(5)建立研究中人体受试者保护的结构和程序。我们的earda驱动的倡议将由咨询委员会，机构赞助研究咨询委员会（israel）的投入提供信息，该委员会由高级管理人员和教师组成，就公共卫生相关的研究机会和研究发展战略提供咨询意见。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the Extramural Associates Development Award (EARDA) effort at Morgan State University is to attain significant progress toward strengthening the sponsored research enterprise at the University and to establish a high quality research administrative infrastructure. In particular, it aims to leverage EARDA support with institutional resources to increase the University's research vitality, especially in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Since the inception of the EARDA support, the University has invested significant internal resources to enhance both its physical and programmatic infrastructure. It has attained significant increases in total extramural funding and the number of research application submissions; and it has inaugurated doctoral programs in the biological sciences, public health and engineering. The present continuation application is a 2 -year request for EARDA transitional support to help us build on the progress we have made during the previous funding period, and to institutionalize the infrastructural enhancements already attained. The specific aims are: (1) to award faculty researchers mini-grants for exploratory research, a strategy designed to attract new investigators and research ideas, and thereby enlarge our pool of active researchers, and generate more applications for extramural funding; (2) to offer application development workshops, seminars and technical assistance, which have proven in the past to be effective in stimulating interest in sponsored research, and transmitting research development fundamentals to beginning or inexperienced faculty; (3) to provide free access to subscriber-based research funding databases such as Community of Science (COS) and Sponsored Programs Information Network (SPIN Plus), which facilitate proactive searches for funding opportunities, identification of potential external collaborators, as well as forging new cross-disciplinary partnerships; (4) to contribute to technology enhancements for electronic research administration; and (5) to establish structures and procedures for human subjects protection in research. Our EARDA-driven initiatives will be informed by input from an advisory board, the Institutional Sponsored Research Advisory Committee (ISRAC), consisting of senior administrators and faculty, to provide advice on public health related research opportunities and research development strategies.
