The goal of this project is to understand the barriers to research grant proposal submission and award management success at West Virginia’s four-year colleges and universities. As research grant administration has become increasingly complex, the submission of competitive research grant proposals and management of research grant funding has become challenging for under-resourced institutions. This project will create solutions to address these challenges by developing a culture of grantsmanship and the necessary support mechanisms to ensure sponsored research success. The project has the potential to be scaled and utilized as a national model that may be especially applicable to other cohorts of under-resourced institutions. The project will identify the specific barriers to grant success by convening regional meetings, followed by a state-wide conference in which participants from West Virginia’s four-year institutions will identify and document research grant project successes and barriers. A diverse group of stakeholders from primarily undergraduate institutions, research universities, and historically black colleges and universities, including emerging research institutions, will work collaboratively in this project. In addition, this project also addresses the need for developing the research enterprise workforce in West Virginia and activities are included that will grow partnerships with professional societies to address this issue.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的目的是了解西弗吉尼亚州四年制大学和大学的研究赠款提交提交和奖励管理成功的障碍。随着研究赠款管理的越来越复杂，提交竞争性研究赠款建议和研究赠款资金的管理已成为资源不足的机构的挑战。该项目将通过开发授予技巧文化以及确保赞助研究成功的必要支持机制来创建解决方案来应对这些挑战。该项目有可能将其缩放和用作作为国家模型，可能特别适用于其他资源不足的机构。该项目将通过召集区域会议来确定授予成功的具体障碍，然后举行全州会议，其中西弗吉尼亚州四年制机构的参与者将识别并记录研究赠款项目的成功和障碍。来自小学本科机构，研究大学以及历史上黑人学院和大学（包括新兴研究机构）的一群利益相关者将在该项目中合作。此外，该项目还解决了在西弗吉尼亚州开发研究企业劳动力的需求，并包括将与专业社会建立伙伴关系以解决这一问题的活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估通过评估而被认为是宝贵的。
