Non-technical DescriptionThis project will support a planning process to establish a Virtual Sponsored Research Office (VSRO). The concept of the VSRO is for it to be a shared resource to assist faculty and administrators at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in preparing and submitting proposals to the NSF and other federal agencies and provide training in the appropriate policies and procedures for managing federal awards. HBCUs have struggled to improve their competitive research standing, in part due to the challenges faced by their administrators who are facing increased demands from both federal agencies and faculty investigators while lacking the critical infrastructure needed to keep up with the rising demands. The vision of the VSRO is to develop an innovative online platform to provide support services to HBCU institutional ?clients?. This service would address the needs of small and mid-size HBCUs that do not currently have adequate sponsored research capabilities.Technical Description The planning activity wwill solicit input from the community of HBCU researchers and administrators via a series of virtual meetings and in-person workshops. From these activities the project team will complete a comprehensive needs assessment for the participating institutions and then determine what combination of products and services would best meet these community needs. All aspects of proposal development and post-award management will be considered throughout the planning process, including but not limited to issues related to intellectual property and human subjects research. It is expected that this planning process will ultimately lead to the development of a proposal to implement the VSRO concept.

非技术描述该项目将支持建立虚拟赞助研究办公室（VSRO）的计划过程。 VSRO的概念是它是一种共同的资源，可以协助历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUS）的教师和管理人员为NSF和其他联邦机构做准备和提交建议，并为管理联邦奖励的适当政策和程序提供培训。 HBCU一直在努力改善其竞争性研究地位，部分原因是其管理人员面临的挑战面临着联邦机构和教职员工调查员的需求增加，同时缺乏满足不断增长的需求所需的关键基础设施。 VSRO的愿景是开发一个创新的在线平台，为HBCU机构的客户提供支持服务。 这项服务将满足中小型HBCU的需求，这些HBCU当前没有足够的赞助研究能力。技术描述通过一系列虚拟会议和面对面的研讨会，HBCU研究人员和管理员社区的计划活动wwill征集了投入。 从这些活动中，项目团队将对参与机构进行全面的需求评估，然后确定产品和服务的组合最能满足这些社区需求。 在整个计划过程中，将考虑提案开发和授予后管理的所有方面，包括但不限于与知识产权和人类受试者研究有关的问题。 预计该计划过程最终将导致提出实施VSRO概念的提案。
