 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Specifically, KEMRI plans over the next three years to develop an Office of Sponsored Research to support the institution's scientists to apply for and manage extramural grants and contracts. The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has an over 12 year history of scientific collaboration with KEMRI. Thus, UCSF will assist KEMRI to achieve its goal to improve and expand the administrative capacity by employing hybrid learning models to train and mentor selected KEMRI administrative staff and faculty responsible for pre- through post-award functions. Following a needs assessment in year 1, training will be accomplished through intensive internships at UCSF, partnering networks, in-country workshops, and distance and online learning. This partnership will build uwezo (a Swahili word for capacity, competence, or ability) in KEMRI. The specific aims are: (1) to conduct a needs assessment at KEMRI identifying and measuring the area of greatest institutional risk and research infrastructure gaps; (2) to provide a comprehensive, vigorous, and innovative training program that will continue to grow KEMRI as one of the leading research institutions in Africa. The learning objectives, which will be derived from the needs assessment will examine the grant life cycle: seeking grant opportunity, application preparation, submission, negotiation, award acceptance, compliance monitoring, financial management, and award close out; (3) to transform the existing Grantsmanship department into an established Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) providing high quality pre- and post-award support to researchers while balancing institutional and sponsor compliance requirements; (4) to develop a long-term sustainability roadmap that will direct and support the OSR activities after the completion of this project. The planning process will determine the optimal organization structure, role, and resources required to implement and maintain this new state; (5) to develop a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan using a logic model listing short and long-term goals as the basis for this activity.

 描述（由申请人提供）：具体而言，KEMRI 计划在未来三年内建立一个赞助研究办公室，以支持该机构的科学家申请和管理校外资助和合同。与 KEMRI 已有 12 年的科学合作历史，因此，加州大学旧金山分校将通过采用混合学习模式来培训和指导选定的 KEMRI 行政人员和负责教员，协助 KEMRI 实现其提高和扩大管理能力的目标。在第一年进行需求评估后，培训将通过加州大学旧金山分校的强化实习、合作网络、国内研讨会以及远程和在线学习来完成。 KEMRI 的具体目标是：(1) 在 KEMRI 进行需求评估，识别和衡量最大的机构风险和研究基础设施差距领域；(2) 提供全面的、充满活力、创新的培训计划将继续将 KEMRI 发展成为非洲领先的研究机构之一。学习目标将从需求评估中得出，将审查资助的生命周期：寻求资助机会、申请准备、提交、谈判、接受资助、合规监控。 、财务管理和奖励结束；（3）将现有的资助部门转变为赞助研究办公室（OSR），为研究人员提供高质量的奖励前和奖励后支持，同时平衡机构和赞助商的合规要求；发展长期可持续性路线图将在完成后指导和支持 OSR 活动 规划过程将确定实施和维持这种新状态所需的最佳组织结构、角色和资源 (5) 使用列出短期和长期目标的逻辑模型制定监测和评估 (M&E) 计划；本次活动的基础。
