The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $179,729 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct a national survey on research development and administration (RD/RA) support at diverse research institutions, including emerging and primarily undergraduate institutions.
The project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of how RD/RA functions are performed at four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. The grantee will survey a national random sample of roughly 500 institutions, with oversampling of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), to assess variations in RD/RA resources, capacities, and needs. The resulting data and analysis will provide valuable insights to help funding agencies and intermediaries better support research growth at institutions that have been historically less research-intensive.
