 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nazareth College of Rochester is a small, independent, co-educational, private liberal arts college with a substantial regional impact. The Princeton Review featured Nazareth College in its The Best 379 Colleges: 2015 editions, as one of the best institutions for undergraduate education. U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges (2015 edition) guide ranks Nazareth in the top tier of colleges and universities in the category of Best Regional Universities - North. Nazareth offers a wide range of majors and professional programs in biomedical and biobehavioral research (BBR); science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); and Health and Human Sciences (HHS) disciplines. Recent campus improvements have expanded and upgraded the facilities that house these programs. Despite upgraded facilities and engaged faculty Nazareth College has not been successful in securing external funding for its biomedical and biobehavioral research. This inability to compete successfully for external awards is in part due to a lack of resources and infrastructure in the Office of Sponsored Programs and Faculty Research (OSPFR) and partly due to a lack of access to faculty development opportunities related to grant seeking and management. Nazareth College recognizes that its OSPFR must be developed to meet the needs of the college, faculty and ultimately its students. To this end it has recently hired a new Director for the OSPFR, Dr. Jennifer E.B. Harman, responsible for building the research enterprise. The driving force behind Nazareth College's expansion of its research enterprise is the increased recognition of the value of research in a teaching college, the expansion of accredited programs in the health and human sciences requiring faculty research productivity, and Nazareth's growing regional reputation for "engaged scholarship." This project times well with the College's strategic plan to increase opportunities for undergraduate research and its commitment to enrolling a diverse population. Nazareth College has the goal of increasing internal and externally funded research 25% by 2020. Nazareth College also seeks to increase its diversity through partnerships with schools in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and New York City with the intent to identify under-represented minorities who show interest in careers in BBR, STEM or HHS fields. The goal of the BRAD award is to expedite these initiatives, increase the momentum of change that has already begun, and emerge as a viable, sustained research program. The aims of the proposal are 1: professional development for research administrators, 2: increasing faculty profession development opportunities for STEM and HHS faculty and 3: infrastructure upgrades to the OSPFR. Aims of this program focus on educational opportunities for faculty, Dr. Harman and other members of the OSPFR. Professional development for OSPFR will enrich Dr. Harman's background while professional development opportunities for faculty will provide the resources necessary for faculty to seek external funding. OSPFR infrastructure will reduce the administrative effort required for proposal development and management of awards.

 描述（由申请人提供）：罗切斯特拿撒勒学院是一所小型、独立、男女同校的私立文理学院，具有重大的地区影响力，《普林斯顿评论》将拿撒勒学院列为 2015 年最佳 379 所大学之一。 《美国新闻与世界报道最佳大学》（2015 年版）指南将拿撒勒大学评为最佳本科教育机构之一。 最佳地区大学 - 北拿撒勒提供生物医学和生物行为研究 (BBR)、科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 以及健康与人文科学 (HHS) 学科的广泛专业和专业课程。尽管升级了设施并聘请了教师，但拿撒勒学院未能成功为其生物医学和生物行为研究获得外部资金，部分原因是无法成功竞争外部奖项。赞助项目和教师研究办公室 (OSPFR) 缺乏资源和基础设施，部分原因是缺乏与资助寻求和管理相关的教师发展机会，拿撒勒学院认识到必须发展其 OSPFR 以满足为此，它最近聘请了 OSPFR 的新主任 Jennifer E.B. Harman 博士，负责建设研究事业。研究事业的发展是对教学学院研究价值的日益认识，需要教师研究生产力的健康和人文科学领域认证项目的扩展，以及拿撒勒在“参与性奖学金”方面日益增长的地区声誉。拿撒勒学院制定了增加本科生研究机会的战略计划，并致力于招收多元化人口，其目标是到 2020 年将内部和外部资助的研究增加 25%。拿撒勒学院还寻求通过与以下机构的合作来增加其多样性。 BRAD 奖的目标是加快这些举措，增加变革的动力。该提案的目标是 1：研究管理人员的专业发展，2：增加 STEM 和 HHS 教师的教师发展机会，3：基础设施升级。该计划的目标是为教师、哈曼博士和 OSPFR 的其他成员提供教育机会。OSPFR 的专业发展将丰富哈曼博士的背景，而教师的专业发展机会将为教师寻求外部资助提供必要的资源。 OSPFR 基础设施将减少提案制定和奖励管理所需的行政工作。
