Description
This opportunity supports projects that aim to strengthen and transform the administrative infrastructure supporting the U.S. research enterprise. The program prioritizes scalable, organization-wide approaches that enhance research development, administration, analytics, technology transfer, corporate relations, research integrity, compliance, research policy, student research training, and leadership. The goal is to promote sustainable research capacity and economic impact by empowering organizations to participate fully in a globally competitive research environment.
Proposals must focus on at least one of three main themes:
- Innovating and enhancing practices and processes within the research enterprise
- Developing and strengthening human capital within the research enterprise
- Translating effective practices across a broad range of organizational contexts
Discipline-specific STEM research and training projects are not eligible; instead, proposals should address the broader research enterprise infrastructure and workforce.
