Researchers and staff at institutions of higher education, nonprofits, companies and other organizations often lack sufficient support to develop project ideas, keep updated on federal funding priorities, and handle the practical aspects of grant submission and award management.

Providing access to resources in these areas will enable researchers, trainers and innovators across the nation to contribute to a thriving research and innovation ecosystem.

The individuals who can provide this support work in a variety of areas within the research enterprise: research development and administration; research analytics; technology transfer and commercialization; corporate relations and public-private partnerships; research integrity, compliance and security; research policy; administration of student research training; and research leadership.

Research enterprise experts help investigators and innovators develop their competitive ideas and ensure progress on funded projects. Empowering these experts to play a role in building research capacity within all types of organizations will ensure that the U.S. benefits fully from its investments in all areas of science, engineering and technology.
