The application deadline is 8:00 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. This initiative is designed to create knowledge and advance research development as a field of scholarly inquiry. Awards are expected to be up to $5,000 for projects lasting for up to 18 months, and three awards are expected. These awards are sponsored by InfoReady and NORDP. The NORD/InfoReady Research Grants in Research Development Program is open to all interested researchers, regardless of whether they are NORDP members. A list of topics, including nine priority research areas of interest to NORD, is available here. For research development (RD) to enhance the skills of its professionals, broaden recognition and understanding of its activities, and deepen its impact on the scientific enterprise, research is needed to define and standardize terms that identify skills and practices, as well as metrics to measure both activities and their outcomes. To develop a robust understanding of RD and its impacts, the initiative is 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.
