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实现大型联邦政府资助的奖项的可持续成功。研究企业基础设施支撑着学术界每项联邦政府资助的科学研究活动，但有关该基础设施如何具体促进可持续发展的知识有限。此外，研究管理人员的流动导致了机构知识和最佳实践的丧失，这些差距使得研究机构，特别是新兴研究机构在发展研究企业时难以评估经验教训并效仿成功。最能满足需求的结构该规划项目创建了一个“研究企业研究”框架，通过以下方式解决知识差距：1）确定最能满足新兴发展和研究机构的细微需求的研究问题和产出策略，2）确定适当的方法来获取大学研究企业团队和项目领导知识，以及 3) 建立研究设计和全面实施项目的成功所需的合作伙伴关系和角色，了解这些要素如何最好地服务于新兴研究。机构指导研究问题、方法的确定，通过该规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，该基础设施可满足少数族裔服务机构（MSI）、非 R1（例如 R2 高级研究型博士大学、D/通过这项工作提高的能​​力将有助于确保科学的进步和应用能够更好地满足整个国家的需求。该奖项。通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
