Grant Overview
Measuring Success in Research & Evaluation: A Guide for Applicants The Grants to Postdoctoral Research in the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program, offered by the Foundation, provides funding ranging from $138,000 to $160,000 for projects that support postdoctoral research and broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in these fields. As a crucial aspect of this grant, measurement plays a vital role in assessing the success and impact of funded projects. ## Required Outcomes and KPIs for Research & Evaluation Projects To ensure that projects meet their intended objectives, applicants must clearly outline their measurement strategies and identify relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). For Research & Evaluation projects, common KPIs include the number of publications in peer-reviewed journals, the number of presentations at conferences, and the number of underrepresented students or researchers mentored or supported. The National Science Foundation (NSF) grants, such as the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant, also emphasize the importance of metrics in evaluating project success. When designing their measurement approaches, applicants should consider the specific requirements of the grant program. For instance, projects focused on broadening participation may need to track metrics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, such as the number of underrepresented individuals participating in research or the development of new curricula or training programs. The NSF SBIR funding, which supports research and development projects with commercialization potential, also requires grantees to report on specific metrics, such as the number of patents filed or the amount of follow-on funding secured. Similarly, applicants to the Grants to Postdoctoral Research in the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program should be prepared to report on the progress and outcomes of their projects, using metrics that align with the program's goals. One concrete regulation that applies to this sector is the requirement to comply with the NSF's Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), which outlines the policies and procedures for NSF proposals and awards. ## Delivery Challenges and Resource Requirements for Measurement in Research & Evaluation One verifiable delivery challenge unique to the Research & Evaluation sector is the need to balance the rigor of measurement approaches with the practical constraints of project implementation. For example, projects may need to adapt their measurement strategies in response to changes in project scope or unexpected challenges. To address this challenge, applicants should identify potential risks and develop contingency plans to ensure that their measurement approaches remain effective. In terms of staffing and resource requirements, measurement in Research & Evaluation projects often requires specialized expertise, such as statisticians or evaluators. Applicants should ensure that their project teams have the necessary skills and resources to design and implement effective measurement approaches. To avoid common pitfalls, applicants should be aware of potential eligibility barriers and compliance traps. For instance, failure to comply with the NSF's reporting requirements or to adhere to the terms and conditions of the grant award can result in funding being withheld or terminated. Q: How do I determine the most relevant KPIs for my Research & Evaluation project? A: To identify the most relevant KPIs, consider the specific goals and objectives of your project, as well as the requirements of the grant program. For example, if your project focuses on broadening participation, you may want to track metrics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Q: What are the common challenges in measuring the success of Research & Evaluation projects, and how can I address them? A: One common challenge is balancing the rigor of measurement approaches with the practical constraints of project implementation. To address this, identify potential risks and develop contingency plans to ensure that your measurement approaches remain effective. Q: How do I ensure that my measurement approach is compliant with the NSF's requirements and regulations, such as those outlined in the PAPPG? A: Carefully review the NSF's policies and procedures, and consult with NSF program officers or other experts as needed to ensure that your measurement approach meets the necessary requirements.
