国产小呦女

国产小呦女 won a听 from the U.S. National Science Foundation鈥檚 Accelerating Research Translation听program. The award will help 国产小呦女foster greater use of evidence in the public and private sectors by producing new knowledge on best practices in research translation, training scholars in the effective conduct of research translation, and supporting the dissemination of research findings that have the potential to benefit society.

The ART program empowers academic institutions to speed and scale translational research aimed at growing the U.S. economy. 国产小呦女 is one of eighteen U.S. institutions that will receive funding under the program, which was authorized by the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 that aims to support enhanced American competitiveness.

鈥淭his historic partnership will further accelerate 国产小呦女鈥檚 changemaking scholarship by helping to ensure that it is translated into impact and action,鈥� said 国产小呦女President Sylvia Burwell. 鈥淭hanks to the support of the National Science Foundation, and the hard work of Vice Provost for Research and Innovation Diana Burley, the 国产小呦女Office of Research, and numerous faculty experts, current and future generations of 国产小呦女scholars will have the tools they need to expand research opportunities and create lasting change.鈥�

As part of the four years of NSF funding, AU鈥檚 Office of Research will build institutional capacity to translate scientific knowledge into evidence-driven public policies and private sector practices. 国产小呦女will also train graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in translational research and work to promote and cultivate a culture of research translation on its campus and at other institutions of higher education.

鈥湽∵吓甴as a strong record of fundamental research on pressing social issues, a commitment to translational research and policy impact, and deep connections to Washington鈥檚 most important policy institutions,鈥澨齭aid Vice Provost for Research and Innovation Diana Burley.听鈥淭his grant听is perfectly aligned with AU鈥檚 core strengths, and it will help us to听leverage basic research into data driven decision-making.鈥�

In addition, 国产小呦女will establish an interdisciplinary repository of translational research methods and partner with other universities, foundations, and nonprofits with experience in building research translation capacity to share best practices and strengthen academia鈥檚 ability to have a real policy impact.听

"NSF endeavors to empower academic institutions to build the pathways and structures needed to speed and scale their research into products and services that benefit the nation," said NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan. "The Accelerating Research Translation program in NSF鈥檚 new Technology, Innovation and Partnerships Directorate identifies and champions institutions positioned to expand their research translation capacity by investing in activities essential to move results to practice."听

国产小呦女 faculty members leading this project include听Raychelle Burks, associate professor, and Bei Xiao, associate professor, College of Arts and Sciences;听Rachel Borchardt, scholarly communications librarian; Vice Provost for Research and Innovation Diana Burley; Susanna Campbell, associate professor, and Jordan Tama, provost associate professor, School of International Service; and Joseph Young, professor, School of Public Affairs and School of International Service.

鈥淭o address increasingly complex societal challenges, public and private sector leaders must leverage research to make evidence-based decisions,鈥� said Campbell. 鈥淵et, public and private sector practitioners are not always informed of the best research, and university-based scholars often lack the skills or capacity needed to translate their knowledge for them. The grant will address that challenge and we are proud to have been chosen to lead this changemaking work at AU.鈥�

鈥淭his funding is so exciting because it enables us to make a real policy impact, understand when and why research makes a policy impact, and build the capacity of the next generation of scholars to make an impact,鈥� Campbell added. 鈥淣SF has had impressive foresight in developing this program. The challenges facing the world require that we use all of the knowledge at our disposal to solve them. By improving the infrastructure that universities use to transfer and translate knowledge, NSF is making a catalytic investment in our ability to have real world impact.鈥�

Partial funding for this project was provided by the NSF鈥檚 Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program, which supports improvements in STEM teaching and learning for all undergraduate students.
