2021 NORD/InfoReady Grant Competition for Research Development Professionals

The NORD / InfoReady Research Grants in Research Development Program funds projects that support the disciplinary field of Research Development. For Research Development to enhance the skills of its professionals, broaden recognition and understanding of its activities, and deepen its impact on the scientific enterprise, we need research that defines and standardizes the terms used to identify skills and practices, as well as metrics that allow us to measure both activities and their outcomes for Research Development. Additionally, the field requires academics from other disciplines that take the activities and outcomes of Research Development as subjects for their work. To develop a robust understanding of Research Development and its impacts, we are interested in a wide range of projects, including empirical studies (e.g., surveys, interview studies, case studies, reviews), as well as theoretical, conceptual, and even purely descriptive or definitional studies.
