Universities with dedicated training grant submission offices generally require data preparation following a structured timeline of several months in advance of the grant submission due date, while other universities with less or no dedicated support for training grant submissions use an ad hoc approach. In these cases, department or program administrators may collect the data manually, in Excel or REDCap, or similar manually maintained methods for those tables requested by the specific NIH grant announcement for the relevant participating graduate predoctoral and/or postdoctoral (including clinical) training programs across the university, depending on the training focus and the \"participating faculty\" provided by the proposed program director (PD/PI) for the grant. We describe an efficient \"federated\" method of data collection and construction for NIH Tables (2, 4, 5A/B, 6A/B & -8A part III/8C part III) for new and renewal applications by combining the use of REDCap and NIH xTRACT, leveraging the strengths of each.</p>","PeriodicalId":43094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Administration","volume":"55 1","pages":"36-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11449351/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142373153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pilot project programs may be particularly important to early-stage investigators from underrepresented backgrounds, who must overcome unique challenges to launching careers in community-based participatory research. This paper describes the structure, function, and impact of the Native Center for Alcohol Research and Education (NCARE) Pilot Project Core.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>During four calls for applications from 2018 to 2021, research investigators interested in conducting alcohol use disorder research in partnership with Tribal communities were recruited, with a focus on early-stage and American Indian and Alaska Native investigators. Eligible investigators were required to submit letters of intent prior to preparing full applications, which underwent a rigorous review process.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Eight pilot projects were awarded. Of the eight pilot project investigators, seven were early-stage scholars, seven were female, and four identified as American Indian or Alaska Native. The funded projects included two primary areas of research, epidemiological studies and intervention projects. Once funded, the Pilot Project Core assisted pilot project investigators with securing approvals for their research studies, responding to methodological and analysis questions, and mentoring and monitoring of their progress. At the time of writing this paper, three pilot project investigators have completed their pilot projects, three investigators are currently collecting data, and one is in the analysis phase. One pilot project investigator did not complete their project due to COVID-19 restrictions early in the pandemic.

Gabriele","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv6wgmh8.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv6wgmh8.12","url":null,"abstract":"When I was an undergraduate, one of my favorite pieces of literature was The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. When the trilogy was cinematized these last years, I was delighted. Both the texts of the trilogy and the films are wonderfully creative. They are filled with exploits of heroes that capture our love of all things victorious. There are the lessons that are played out about human friendship for those who are members of The Fellowship of the Ring. There is the courage of battle against the forces of evil and destruction. There is the warmth of human care. There are tears of memory and smiles of camaraderie. Equally, there are the seething images of domination, power, and the corruption-of-self in the lustful preoccupation with The One Ring To Rule Them All. Tolkien's work is so popular because it is a mirror of the base rhythms of what it means to be human. In the end, such is the measure of what makes for monumentally significant literature and art. In the film version of Part III, The Return of the King, there is the final scene when elves and wizards, when Frodo and Bilbo, take their leave so that a New Age can dawn for all the citizens of Middle Earth. In the film Annie Lennox captures exquisitely well the poignant sensitivity and ambivalence of Frodo's leaving Sam and Merry and Pippin in her sung ballad, Into The West. That ballad speaks to us all. Nothing is forever. Change is a constant. Though they must inevitably give way to new adventures, we can never discount or deny the journeys that friends have had with one another. Indeed, Annie Lennox sings so well that, though \"all souls pass,\" we indeed will meet again. All things change. Nothing lasts forever. In January 2013, my service as Editor of the Journal of Research Administration will come to an end after seven years. At that time, Dr. Timothy Atkinson will become the new Editor. I am delighted with his appointment and feel absolutely confident that he will bring the Journal into even newer heights of success and prominence. However, permit me to reflect at this time about my own tenure. Since January 2006, we have known extraordinary success. The Journal has, in a sense, been re-imagined--perhaps even re-invented! We have had unprecedented numbers of submissions in wide and diverse interdisciplinary subject areas related to our profession and all its arts and sciences. We have become indexed in several prestigious resources. The Journal Editorial Board established in these past years a completely de novo four-stage publication mentoring process that has never existed anywhere. Its formation is the subject of the special feature article in this edition. Indeed, this four-stage process of author-mentoring is a gift that the Journal has given to SRA--and that SRA has given to the world! The Journal has indeed become a major success for the academy of our entire profession. …","PeriodicalId":43094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Administration","volume":"43 1","pages":"157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2012-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68823800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author asserts that research universities and industry possess different but complementary strengths and should work in close partnership so that the nation and the world can enjoy the greatest possible benefit. The author concludes with a plea to the members of the Society of Research Administrators to continue to make the public case for a robust and well-supported national research program. The article is based on the author's speech to the Society of Research Administrators on the occasion of his receipt of the 1999 Distinguished Contribution to Research Administration Award, delivered in Denver at the SRA Annual Conference, Oct. 18, 1999. Introduction I sometimes get the feeling that research administration, at least at the level I unaccountably find myself, is nine-tenths smoke and mirrors. Spectacular stuff happens, and even our most beady-eyed critics believe that we research administrators have had something to do with it. This in no way minimizes the great service to America provided by the member institutions and individual members of the Society of Research Administrators (SRA). You are stewards of one of the scarcest resources in education: research dollars (private, state and federal). You find ways to decrease the cost of doing business, stretch the research dollar and encourage the research process, without driving up research administrative overhead. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has collaborated with universities in the conduct of research and related business affairs for longer that most of you have been alive. We in ONR cherish this relationship, and the success we enjoy is in large part due to people like you. You are active, effective, persistent and even, at times, aggressive spokespeople. You serve as lobbyists, ambassadors, marketers, representatives, emissaries and (too often) lonely advocates for investment in research. I can empathize since I do that too, and it is hard work. It is relentless, and it does not always pay off, but it is critical to your institutions' mission and mine. If you will allow a patriotic moment, you contribute here-as you have for decades-to the economic and security strength of the most prosperous nation on earth. For that too, I salute you. The Ascendance of the American Research University We have reached the end of a decade, a century and a millennium, and a jubilee year is upon us. It is therefore appropriate to reflect on the richness of life and the progress we have made as a people. Indulge me as I list some of the accomplishments of the past few years: * The enemy of our lifetime, the U.S.S.R., is gone, replaced by a more democratic, market-based Russia. * We have, one-by-one, overcome many diseases, thereby increasing ","PeriodicalId":43094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":"5-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/cbo9780511536021.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57058311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
