The proposed meetings will increase understanding of how research-related supportive activities assist early-career faculty and enhance their diverse institutional environments. Emerging research institutions, and the faculty who work there, have unique obstacles for launching and sustaining research projects. The project aims to develop guidance and resources tailored to new faculty, staff, and administrators at these institutions who can access them with no/minimal startup costs or time investment to advance their success in research. In partnership with state and national professional societies, the convenings will capture ideas for answering several questions in service of emerging research institutions, their diverse professoriate, and the Research Development (RD) professional knowledge base: 1) How can staff and administrators with various position descriptions engage in research development activities to coach, connect, and champion the faculty they support, especially those early in their research career?; 2) What are actionable metrics for individual faculty in terms of planning their research activities and for institutions in terms of strategic investment in their research enterprise?; and 3) How do you leverage the resources and expertise held by local, state, and national networks to the benefit of demographically diverse, early-career faculty in all types of institutional settings? Participants across these convenings will include RD and Research Administration professionals; university, college, and departmental leaders; and early-career faculty members. After the conclusion of the convenings, an executive summary report and list of recommendations will be generated (and shared out to professional networks) organized around the guiding question themes of planting RD support seeds, accessing actionable metrics, and leveraging multiple knowledge bases toward supporting new faculty and emerging-research/minority-serving institutions. Through collaborations with national professional societies and a broadly relevant focus on early-career faculty and emerging research institutions, this project has the potential to produce recommendations, resources, and an engaged stakeholder community ("alliance”) focused on growing research infrastructure and capacity that could be nationally transformative.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.

拟议的会议将提高人们对研究相关的支持活动如何帮助早期职业教师的理解，并增强其潜水员的机构环境。新兴的研究机构以及在那里工作的教师在启动和维持研究项目方面存在着独特的障碍。该项目旨在开发这些机构的新教职员工和管理人员量身定制的指导和资源，他们可以没有/最小的启动成本或时间投资来促进他们在研究方面的成功。与州和国家专业协会合作，召集将捕捉到回答几个问题的想法，以服务新兴的研究机构，其多样性利润以及研究发展（RD）专业知识基础：1）具有各种职位描述的员工和管理人员如何从事教练，连接，联系和倡导他们支持的教师，尤其是他们研究生涯的早期教师？ 2）在计划研究活动和机构的研究企业方面，个人教师的可行指标是什么？ 3）您如何利用本地，州和国家网络持有的资源和专业知识，以在所有类型的机构环境中的人口统计学多样化，早期职业教师的好处？这些召集的参与者将包括RD和研究管理专业人员；大学，大学和系领导者；和早期职业教师。召集结束后，将生成一份执行摘要报告和建议清单（并与专业网络共享），围绕种植RD支持种子的指导问题主题组织，访问可行的指标，并利用多个知识基础来支持新的教职员工和新兴的研究和培养研究/未成年人。 Through collaborations With national professional society and a broadly relevant focus on early-career faculty and emerging research institutions, this project has the potential to produce recommendations, resources, and an engaged stakeholder community ("alliance") focused on growing research infrastructure and capacity that could be nationally transformative.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed precious of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review 标准。
