The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,947,801 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the President and Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: TRI-ALLIANCE FOR POST-AWARD INNOVATION," aims to transform post-award activities at emerging research institutions (ERIs) to reduce administrative burden, better support faculty in their research, and increase grant activity. The project, which runs from September 2024 to August 2029, will focus on three core components: 1) building capacity for post-award service structures, functions, and data collection; 2) developing shared education and training opportunities and resource materials to increase efficiency and reduce administrative burdens; and 3) piloting innovative cross-division support roles that span pre- and post-award administration. By sharing resources, piloting innovative positions, and documenting best practices, the Tri-Alliance Consortium, which includes Loyola Marymount University, Santa Clara University, and the University of San Francisco, will create a toolkit available to other ERIs to foster a stronger and more efficient research environment.
