Future Work
Enhancing research capacity requires so much more than one or two people working on grant submissions. In order to develop a strong and sustainable research support infrastructure, the MSU community must work together to share ideas and leverage their talents. Aside from developing a Grant Facilitator Network and providing funding opportunities through ADVANCE: Project TRACS, a number of key goals have been identified in order to achieve the level of research support requisite for faculty and student success. These goals are to:
(1). Facilitate an unprecedented number of interdisciplinary teams in order to create a collaborative and creative research environment
(2). Collect input from grant successful faculty and develop a year-round grant submission training program to prepare faculty to submit successful proposals independently and on teams
(3). Create a consistent research support presence on campus that inlcudes pre-submission processes that ensure proposals are ready to submit
(4). Elect an advisory board of research scientists on and off campus to discuss and attempt to mitigate the challenges experienced by researchers
(5). Identify partnership opportunities to merge efforts with groups on and off campus that are striving for enhanced research capacity in the university environment
