On hand will be representatives from institutions that have recently surmounted the $100K/faculty mem- ber research funding threshold, to discuss in a step-by-step manner spe- cific activities that can be used to progressively increase institutional capacity. This session will be professionally facilitated so that each person leaves with an action plan tailored to his/her institution.

Constituting one-third of all U.S. institutions of higher education, emerging research institutions (ERIs) are crucial to sustaining the nation's technological competitiveness through innovation and workforce development.

Many, however, are not fully engaged in sustained sponsored research. This book summarizes the discussions at a workshop that examined the barriers ERIs face in building more robust research enterprises and approaches for overcoming those barriers. The book includes a description of federal programs that focus on capacity building and institutional collaborations.
