Effectiveness
• Most activities are directed toward the
evaluation of LOI for limited institutional
submissions and of proposals for Research
Equipment Reserve Funds (RERF), General
Research Funds (GRF) and Research
Programs/Institutes/Centers.
• How can we play a more proactive role?
Some Ideas
• Improve communication and flow of information between
the Research Office and the faculty
• Understand the present state of our
- Research infrastructure
- Supporting Services (OSP, OPAA, others)
• Assess the challenges imposed by a growing academic
population and the diversification of research activities and
funding sources
• Understand the constrains imposed in the distribution or
Research Overhead
• Advise the Research Office on long term research
investment priorities
