Define research infrastructure, identify elements present at WSU, and develop a structure to bin infrastructure elements for evaluation. 2. Within bins identify the barriers that exist to research excellence (technology, physical facilities, staff, and management). 3. Provide a tiered prioritization of future investments into research infrastructure needed to support WSU “research themes”. 4. Provide actionable recommendations that identify funding opportunities (facilities construction, technology acquisition, and ongoing operations) and changes in management that remove barriers and achieve excellence in research infrastructure. Information to be collected: Phase 1 • Survey of current Centers, Facilities, Cores, Laboratories for status of current equipment and capabilities. • Survey of Colleges and Campuses for items that may not be listed in item above. • Revaluate bins to ensure all relevant infrastructure is evaluated.

Support system: WSU mentoring and nomination practices for faculty of different career stages for Academy Members, Faculty Awards, Fellowships (Phase I indicators). WSU support system and practices for grant applications (in particular large grants) (Phase I Indicator) and for non-competitive USDA, state and industrial supported research (Phase II). Barriers for faculty members to participate in outreach and global engagement activities that will enhance WSU Phase I and Phase II indicators Sub-Group Activities between Sept 23 and Oct. 14 We had three meetings, focusing on two main items: 1)Faculty Visibility, 2) Developing Internal and External Survey Questions. Faculty Visibility We invited three national academy members to interact with the subgroup: • Dr. Anjan Bose, NAE, WSU VCEA • Dr. Guy Palmer, WSU SGAH, NAS, Institute of Medicine • Dr. Norm Scott, WSU Alumnus, former VPR of Cornell University, NAE Chair of Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources of National Academy of Sciences Main Conclusions of the Dialogs: Helping faculty reaching to the status of national academies requires a strong university-wide culture and support system: 1) Help recognizing achievements of faculty members at various career stages, WSU internal awards and AAU recognized major awards – need a culture to support and recognize faculty excellence in research. 2) Nominate faculty members of strong research records to state and national committees (e.g., WA State Academy of Sciences, Advisory Boards for National Policies) and support faculty for important professional activities (e.g., chief editors of major reviewed journals) – need to build strong faculty portfolios. 3) Identity WSU faculty members and make annual nominations. In general, 1 out of 10 nominated faculty members will get elected to national academies. Cornell has a group of academy members meeting every year to help identify and nominate outstanding faculty members – need coordinated efforts to nominate WSU faculty members. Survey Questions (WSU Internal) Research Visibility How does your unit support faculty research visibility (e.g., information about opportunities, funding to meet stakeholders, funders, etc.)? What barriers prevent you from supporting faculty in research visibility? What tangible results have come from your publicity efforts (e.g.: increased funding, speaking requests, collaborations)? Awards and Recognition Describe your mentoring program to prepare faculty to be competitive for national awards. Please list your strengths in this area, and barriers and needs. Economic Engagement and Return on Research Does your unit value the economic impact of research happening in your unit? If so, how does the unit recognize/reward faculty for the added value? If not, why? Explain concerns, gaps, barriers, and needs. Survey Questions (WSU Internal) (cont.) Domestic/International Outreach and Engagement Do your faculty engage in domestic/international collaborations? If not, why? If so, are these collaborations valued? How does the unit recognize/reward faculty for these collaborations? Explain concerns, gaps, barriers, and needs. Survey Questions (AAU Peers) Specific activities that increased research visibility and success (Examples) Institutional support structure (Information about opportunities, funding to meet stakeholders etc.) Metrics for measuring success of publicity efforts Increased funding, awards, collaborations, start-ups, economic impact Mentoring programs for faculty to be competitive for prestigious national faculty awards International outreach and metrics for measurement Outreach efforts for industry-related engagement Transfer of discoveries out of the university Leveraging economic returns (royalties) to advance research enterprise. Questions for external stakeholders Best practices for successful research funding WSU strengths Engage internally with faculty who have had interactions with the stakeholders and understand their perspectives and best practices. Next 2-3 weeks: Studying Best Practices for WSU Outreach Activities Meeting with WSU faculty members who has received top $$ from Federal Agencies, Industry, and Foundations Schedule for Sub-Group Activities Time Activities Oct. 21 - Nov. 18 3 sessions to analyze data, start discussions Dec. 2- Dec. 30 Continue Analyses, Draft Findings and Recommendations Thank you!
