4.15.2010: A Research Strategy for NC State
Nov 15, 2014
NC State’s Strategic Vision states that our core value is to transform lives and improve the human condition through strategic research and scholarship. We’ll take a look at what NC State is contributing to society as a result of the research that’s carried out here. Then we’ll talk about how we’re benchmarking our progress and the research strategies we’re implementing to increase our impact. One of the ways we can measure our impact to date is by taking a look at third-party rankings. We’ll look at overall University rankings by US News and World Report and specific research rankings by The Center for Measuring University Performance. This gives us a snapshot of “Where We Are Today.” And then we’ll talk about where we want to go and how we're going to get there.

On March 22 USDA announced ~$260M for the following funding priorities:
Childhood Obesity PreventionClimate Change
Food SafetyGlobal Food Security
Sustainable Bioenergy
NC State responded immediately with our team science approach:
25 March – Collaboration website launched to facilitate response to opportunity (50+ forum comments within 8 hours of launch)
30 March – Informational, teaming meeting held drawing 100+ attendees
14 April – First Letters of Intent Due
STRATEGY.
Other Strategic Activities Increasing Partnerships – RTI, UNC, Duke, ORNL
Graduate Professional Development
Post-Doctoral Office
Expertise Profiling
Strategic Research Initiatives Grants
Increase Faculty Recognition – internal & external awards
Increasing Visibility• Research Gateway
• Results: NC State’s Research Magazine
• New University Chief Communications Officer/Strategy
CHALLENGE.
Challenges
Limited time and support for faculty to engage in research activities
Limited graduate student and post-doctoral fellowships
Instrumentation & equipment needs are high with no targeted funds available
No technology maturation funds to bring discoveries to proof-of-concept stage
Ability to determine economic benefit of research and innovation
The Path Forward Means . . .
Fully prepared future leaders! Increased rankings! Increased partnerships! Economic and societal impact! Lives transformed! Improved human condition!
SUCCESS.
