Our 2024 GRANTED Conference is bringing together comprehensive public research institutions and professional development organizations to meet and discuss the challenges related to enhancing institutional research capacity at high-needs campuses. Conference participants represent a tremendous institutional and professional breadth, from R1 to R2s, encompassing both rural to urban institutions, including Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), minority-serving institutions (MSIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Native American Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTIs), as well as Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) institutions.
Participants will be led through a challenge set format to identify common challenges and share available tools, knowledge, and effective practices with the overarching goals of enhancing competitiveness and catalyzing the development of new approaches and transformative ideas that are scalable, implementable, equitable, and collectively strengthen our nation’s research enterprise. Upon completion of this conference, participating institutions will have identified possible challenges and mitigation strategies to research capacity building and drafted a framework needed for developing, implementing, and scaling a sustainable shared virtual resource center for use by research leadership, administration, and staff.
