  1. Leveraging Capacity-Building Efforts or “How to Take Advantage of Other People’s Grants”

  2. People Students Faculty Support staff Equipment Single-user instruments (incubators, microfuges) Large multi-user equipment (ultracentrifuges, electron microscopes) Facilities Laboratories Animal rooms Physical Plant Field Stations Services Purchasing, Accounting Sponsored Research Office Hazardous Waste Capacity-Building InfrastructureWhat is it?

  3. Capacity-Building InfrastructureHow do you get it? • Apply for individual grants • Research grants will support people and (to some extent) equipment • Instrumentation grants will support purchase and/or development of equipment and instruments • CCLI • MRI • Leverage off of existing grants to your institution

  4. EHR Invests in Building Capacity • Building educational capacity • LSAMP • AGEP • STEP • Building research capacity • HBCU-UP • TCUP • CREST • EPSCoR

  5. Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) • Increase the number of minority students who enroll and complete degrees in baccalaureate STEM programs • Provides research experiences, academic support services, mentoring • Bridge to the Doctorate (initiated in 2003) • Connecting new LSAMP graduates to doctoral degree programs

  6. Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) • Increase significantly the number of underrepresented students pursuing advanced studies and receiving STEM Ph.D. degrees • Increase significantly the number of minorities entering the professoriate as role models and mentors

  7. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program (STEP) • Increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) receiving associate or baccalaureate degrees in established or emerging fields within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) • Type 1 proposals: full implementation efforts at academic institutions • Type 2 proposals: support educational research projects on associate or baccalaureate degree attainment in STEM

  8. Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP)andTribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) Improve the quality of STEM education Increase participation and success in undergraduate programs Increase access to undergraduate research opportunities

  9. Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) • Build the research competitiveness of minority-serving institutions • Increase the recruitment and retention of individuals from diverse backgrounds in STEM study and STEM careers

  10. Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) • Joint program of the NSF and several U.S. states and territories • Promotes the development of the states' science and technology resources through partnerships with universities, industry, and government, and the Federal R&D enterprise

  11. Capacity-Building Infrastructure Who has it? • LSAMP: 34 Alliances, >450 institutions • AGEP: 22 Alliances, >100 institutions • HBCU-UP: 38 active awards to HBCUs • TCUP: 18 active awards at Tribal Colleges and Universities • CREST: 14 active sites at minority-serving institutions

  12. Alabama A&M University California State University, Dominguez Hills California State University, Fresno Cal Poly Pomona Claflin University Fayetteville State University Fisk University Florida A&M University Fort Berthold Community College Grambling State University Hampton University Inter American University of Puerto Rico Jackson State University Kentucky State University (pending) Langston University Mississippi State University Mississippi Valley State Morgan State University Norfolk State University Salish Kootenai College Savannah State University Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Tougaloo College United Tribes Technical College University of Central Florida University of Missouri-Columbia University of Puerto Rico, Bayamon University of Texas, El Paso Virginia State University Western New Mexico University Youngstown State University Are you at an LSAMP Institution?

  13. Does Your Institution Participate in AGEP? • Alabama A&M University • Florida A&M University • Jackson State University • Mississippi State University • University of Missouri-Columbia • University of Texas at El Paso

  14. Claflin University Hampton University Jackson State University Jarvis Christian College Kentucky State University Langston University Mississippi Valley State University Norfolk State University Savannah State University Tougaloo College Salish Kootenai College United Tribes Technical College Where are the current HBCU-UP and TCUP awards?

  15. Biologically-Related CREST Sites • University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras • Texas A&M University, Kingsville • California State University, Los Angeles • New Mexico State University • Alabama A&M University

  16. Alabama Alaska Arkansas Delaware Hawaii Idaho Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Mississippi Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Mexico North Dakota Oklahoma Puerto Rico Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee US Virgin Islands Vermont West Virginia Wyoming Are you in an EPSCoR Jurisdiction?

  17. You Don’t Have to Do It All Alone! Think Strategically • What do you need? • How can you get it? • Look around your department, your institution • Talk to your colleagues, chair, dean, provost, sponsored projects office • Try to leverage existing resources wherever possible
