Dear NORDP colleagues,
A small group of RD’ers is developing a conference abstract for a one-hour, interactive session that focuses on overcoming common problems associated with major institution-driven research initiatives. Such problems can include: communicating the initiative’s purpose and progress to internal/external audiences; ensuring faculty researchers’ success; and leveraging the research initiative to advance education. We would love to expand the experience of the presenting team beyond “grand challenge” – style programs to include initiatives such as creating campus-wide areas of research excellence; establishing cross-disciplinary institutes/centers; or any other major research initiatives that are founded by or given priority by top-level leadership (e.g., research initiatives launched by a President, Provost, VCR, VPR – including those pesky unfunded mandates!) If you’d like to learn more or join our team, please reach out to any of us:
Jennifer Lyon Gardner, The University of Texas at Austin lyon@austin.utexas.edu
Tim Schroeder, University of New Mexico timschroeder@unm.edu
Eva Allen, Indiana University - Bloomington evaallen@indiana.edu
We hope to hear from you!
