The Colleges of Liberal Arts Sponsored Programs Community of Practice (CLASP) is a free and open resource that currently represents more than 330 predominantly undergraduate institutions, particularly institutions that fit within the “liberal arts college” framework (PUI LACs) across the nation. CLASP will hold a series of convenings to improve its ability to meet the needs of sponsored research professionals, often the only such professional at PUI LAC institutions. At these convenings sponsored research professionals will: develop strategies for building the capacity and effectiveness of research administration across a diverse range of institutions; build protocols that improve outreach to, and support for, institutions that serve significant numbers of students underrepresented in the sciences; and create procedures for representing and advocating for the research contributions of this subset of Emerging Research Institutions. In partnership with the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) at Carleton College, the research team will survey and convene the CLASP membership, both virtually and in person, to: 1) develop tools and scalable models advancing research at predominantly undergraduate institutions that fit within the “liberal arts college” framework (PUI LACs); 2) broaden participation within this Community of Practice to support the needs of organizations such as minority-serving institutions, and 3) reduce systemic barriers to accessing information about and from external funders. These findings will provide early insight into how to increase partnership, knowledge sharing, and enhance communication between research administrators at PUI LACs of all sizes and types. 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.

文科学院赞助的计划社区（CLASP）是一种自由开放的资源，目前代表了330多个主要是本科机构，尤其是适合全国“自由艺术学院”框架（PUI LAC）的机构。 CLASP将举行一系列召集，以提高其满足赞助研究专业人员需求的能力，这通常是PUI LAC机构唯一这样的专业人员。在这些召集的赞助研究专业人士将：制定策略来建立研究管理部门在各种机构范围内的能力和有效性；建立协议，以改善对科学中大量学生人数不足的机构的推广和支持；并创建代表和倡导这一新兴研究机构的研究贡献的程序。与卡尔顿学院的科学教育资源中心（SERC）合作，研究团队将在虚拟和亲自调查和便利扣子成员资格：1）开发工具和可扩展模型，在主要适合“自由艺术学院”框架（PUI lacs（PUI lacs）的本科机构中，在本科生中进行了研究； 2）扩大在这个社区的实践中的参与，以支持诸如少数派服务机构等组织的需求，3）减少访问外部资助者和外部资助信息的全身障碍。这些发现将为如何提高各种规模和类型的PUI LAC研究人员之间的伙伴关系，知识共享以及增强沟通的沟通提供早期见解。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通过评估来获得的支持。
