This project develops a research framework to understand how research enterprise infrastructure enables the sustainable success of large, federally funded awards. Research enterprise infrastructure underpins every federally funded scientific research activity in academia. Limited, publicly accessible knowledge exists about how this infrastructure specifically facilitates the sustainable success of research initiatives. Moreover, turnover in the research administration workforce has resulted in the loss of institutional knowledge and best practices. These gaps make it difficult for research institutions, especially emerging research institutions, to evaluate lessons learned and emulate successes while developing research enterprise structures that best meet the needs of the communities they serve. This planning project creates a “research on the research enterprise” framework to address the knowledge gap by: 1) identifying the research questions and output strategies that will best meet the nuanced needs of emerging and developing research institutions, 2) determining the appropriate methodologies to capture university research enterprise team and project leadership knowledge, and 3) establishing the partnerships and roles necessary for the success of the research design and development of a full-scale implementation project. Understanding how these elements can best serve emerging research institutions guides the identification of research questions, methodologies, and partnerships. The knowledge gaps addressed through this planning project will support the accelerated development of a national research infrastructure that is responsive to the nuanced needs of minority serving institutions (MSIs), non-R1 (e.g. R2-high research doctoral universities, D/PU-doctoral/professional universities), and baccalaureate/associate’s colleges and communities they serve. The increased capacity enabled through this work will help ensure that the advancement and application of science can better respond to the needs of the entire nation.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.

该项目开发了一个研究框架，以了解研究企业基础设施如何使大型，联邦资助的奖项的可持续成功。研究企业基础设施为学术界的每项联邦资助的科学研究活动提供了基础。关于这种基础设施如何特别促进研究计划可持续成功的有限，可公开可访问的知识。此外，研究管理劳动力的营业额导致机构知识和最佳实践的丧失。这些差距使研究机构，尤其是新兴的研究机构很难评估经验教训并模仿成功的过程，同时开发研究企业结构，这些结构最能满足他们所服务的社区的需求。该计划项目创建了一个“研究企业的研究”框架，以解决知识差距：1）确定最能满足出现和发展研究机构的细微差别需求的研究问题和输出策略，2）确定捕获大学研究企业团队和项目领导力的适当方法，以及3）建立成功实施研究和开发的伙伴关系和角色所必需的。了解这些要素如何最好地服务于新兴的研究机构指导研究问题，方法和伙伴关系的识别。通过该计划项目解决的知识差距将支持国家研究基础设施的加速发展，该基础设施对少数族裔服务机构（MSIS）（例如R2高度研究博士大学，D/pu/pu-Doctoral/Professional Universities）以及Baccalaureate/Associpation's Colleges and Comlesies and Commualities和Commualities和Commualities和社区的细微差异需要响应。通过这项工作增强的能力将有助于确保科学的进步和应用可以更好地响应整个国家的需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估来诚实地获得支持。
