- Train cross-institutional teams of research administrators and early-career faculty from over 20 institutions, especially primarily undergraduate and minority-serving institutions.
- Deliver about 2,900 hours of consulting each year to help early-career faculty and research administrators build competitive research teams and secure funding.
- Improve participating institutions' research competitiveness, compliance and financial accountability, while encouraging collaboration between institutions.
More about the research
Primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and minority-serving institutions (MSIs) often lack this support, which can keep their faculty from competing for research funding.
Why it matters
STAIR could help smaller and minority-serving colleges win and manage more research funding. Their faculty and students would gain wider access to research. A better-trained research administration workforce may also lower compliance and financial risks at institutions with limited resources.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
