SPAD at Auburn University at Montgomery Like STEM faculty at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) everywhere, Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) faculty must overcome a daunting array of disincentives to pursue external funding. Heavy teaching loads, lack of dedicated research space or time for research, an unfamiliarity with grant programs and procedures, a perception that the likelihood of success was remote, even the ready availability of summer teaching opportunities, all acted to create a faculty culture of low expectations with regards to grant seeking. But with a range of new initiatives designed to better serve the needs of our diverse student body, AUM is experiencing a cultural change, where expectations for faculty research and engagement are escalating rapidly. At this critical juncture, AUM has crucial need for an expanded and reorganized OSPR. In support of new initiatives and a changing campus culture focusing on research and engagement, AUM is seeking SPAD funding to reorganize and expand its Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) to keep pace with the rapidly growing faculty interest in pursuing external grant funding. The specific aims of the project are to: 1. Increase the capabilities of the OSP by hiring and training new staff and providing them with the competency- based training and professional development that includes training and building an infrastructure that supports continuing education in this area. 2. Establish new OSP services, policies, and procedures for the development and submission of applications and provide training and support to faculty in these new services, policies, and procedures; 3. Develop a faculty reward structure that emphasizes cost sharing and workload management to promote research and creative activity; 4. Expand collaborative research partnerships and funding opportunities for faculty and students, especially with Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. 5. Offer students the opportunity to work with faculty and the OSP to acquire grant writing skills; and 6. Partner with the AUM Office of Diversity to offer scaffolded workshops in cultural competency for faculty to facilitate creating effective grant writing teams for grants targeted at PUIs. The SPAD grant would enable AUM to create an OSPR that would play an important role in fostering this new culture of research and scholarship, that would encourage grant-assisted faculty training and curriculum development, and help create new programs for research training and mentorship of underprivileged African- American students, who comprise 42% of our student population. The success of the project will be determined by measuring increases in faculty interactions with the OSP, in proposal submissions, in the creation of new research collaborations, in the expanded mentoring of student researchers, and in the volume of publications.

蒙哥马利奥本大学的Spad 就像主要是本科机构（PUI）的STEM教师一样，到处都是奥本大学 蒙哥马利（AUM）教师必须克服一系列艰巨的障碍来寻求外部资金。重的 教导负载，缺乏专门的研究空间或研究时间，对赠款计划的不熟悉和 程序，即成功的可能性是遥远的，即使是夏天的现成 教学机会，都采取行动，创造了一种低期望的教师文化，以寻求授予。但 AUM是一系列新举措，旨在更好地满足我们多元化的学生团体的需求，AUM是 经历文化变革，对教师研究和参与的期望正在迅速升级。 在这个关键时刻，AUM对扩展和重组的OSPR至关重要。 为了支持新计划和不断变化的校园文化，专注于研究和参与，AUM 正在寻求SPAD资金来重组和扩大其赞助计划（OSP）的办公室，以跟上步伐 在追求外部赠款资金的迅速增长的教师兴趣。该项目的具体目的是： 1。通过雇用和培训新员工并为他们提供能力 - 提高OSP的功能 - 基于培训和专业发展，包括培训和建立支持的基础设施 该领域的继续教育。 2。建立新的OSP服务，政策和程序开发和提交申请 在这些新服务，政策和程序中为教师提供培训和支持； 3.开发一种教师奖励结构，该结构强调成本分担和工作量管理以促进 研究和创意活动； 4。扩大教师和学生的合作研究合作伙伴关系和资金机会，尤其是 奥本大学和伯明翰的阿拉巴马大学。 5。为学生提供与教师和OSP合作的机会，以获得赠款写作技巧；和 6.与AUM多样性办公室合作，为教师提供脚手架的文化能力讲习班 促进为针对PUI的赠款创建有效的赠款写作团队。 Spad Grant将使AUM能够创建一个OSPR，该OSPR将在促进此事中发挥重要作用 新的研究和奖学金文化，这将鼓励授予助学金的教师培训和课程 开发，并帮助创建新的计划，以研究贫困的非洲 - 美国学生，占我们学生人数的42％。该项目的成功将得到确定 通过衡量与OSP的教师互动的增加，在提案中，创建新的 研究合作，在扩大学生研究人员的指导以及出版物量中。
