This workshop-based project aims to develop a suite of practical recommendations to mitigate the challenges of grant submission at the nation’s approximately 1700 primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) that grant 4-year or higher degrees. By examining in-depth the roles of campus administrations, professional organizations, and informal networks that contribute to this process, the project is uniquely positioned to identify barriers and solutions. A pilot study indicates that a few staff in each grant-active PUI perform the same core research development (RD) functions as a much larger and more specialized RD staff at large research universities. Yet, these functions are under extensive strain due to competing priorities and limited resources. The project team uses recent data from small and large data collections, earlier literature, and expert consultations to develop concise background materials and agendas to better understand the nature and variations of RD among PUIs. By convening a series of regional two-day workshops, approximately 16 participants (per workshop) representative of PUI types and RD personnel, materials will be reviewed and specific ideas and priorities developed. Subsequent public webinars and related channels add to the basis for a report with national recommendations for evidence development, demonstration programs, and evaluation to promote systemic long-term enhancement of the PUI research enterprise. By crystallizing knowledge of unique aspects of PUI RD challenges, promoting strength-based rather than deficit-based modeling of PUI needs, capacities, and growth paths, and broadening the participation of currently less active segments of the PUI universe, the project will provide concrete, independent, expert suggestions on how to enhance national networks of communication and service to more effectively support PUI research activities, thus spreading research experience, knowledge, and resources to new and potentially underserved communities.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.

这项基于研讨会的项目旨在开发一组Challegate，授予ASTION的OX的挑战性，主要是地下的机构（PUI），通过研究校园的角色，专业组织，专业组织，专业组织，授予4年。和有助于该过程的信息。在大型研究中，项目团队的最新数据来自大型数据，而较早的文学材料和议程则可以通过召集一系列的PUIS中的nather和RD的变化。 16个参与者（每个研讨会）代表PUI类型和RD人员，材料将被审查，特定的思想和思想和优先级，示范计划和评估在PUI RD挑战，各个挑战，并扩大了PUI宇宙中当前降低活跃部门的路径，能力，能力，该项目将为如何增强国家通信和服务网络的更多，独立的专家SU，以提供更多，独立的专家，因此，将搜索活动，知识和资源传达给新的且潜在的服务不足的社区。该奖项反映了NSF'Stututory的使命，并希望使用Toundation的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来支持粗略评估。
