The Importance of Research
“The solution of virtually all the problems with which the government is concerned – health, education, environment, energy, urban development, international relations, space, economic competitiveness, and defense and national security – all depend on creating new knowledge.”
Eric Bloch, DirectorNational Science
Foundation1986

The Importance of Research
“The organization known as Microsoft Research exists – and research itself must be done – so we can be prepared for the unknown.”

The 21st Century Will Require Different Structures and
Approaches
Stovepipes Facilitated Great Things + New Disciplines and Industries
Some of the great intellectual challenges of the future do not lend themselves to a mostly single-discipline approach
Traditional education will need to transform into active learning and engagement
Transferring knowledge and technology into practical applications – and building wealth – will be the primary driver…not prestige

VERY Challenging Times – Philosophically and
Economically Fundamental value proposition of the
research university is being lost because of the cost of higher education
Legitimate questions are being asked Why do faculty teach only one or two courses per
semester and spend only 6-8 hours in the classroom?
Faculty do themselves no favors: “If the stupid public just understood” Once the budget crisis is over, we’ll get back to
business as usual Higher education is at a crossroads, and the
research university is being challenged to define its role – and it must

Research and the Public
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail;
without it, nothing can succeed.

…But Getting a New Look On 1 July, NRC formally established a 22-person Committee
on Research Universities Driven by Senators Lamar Alexander and Barbara Mikulski
(Members of Appropriations Committee and other key committees) and Representatives Ralph Hall (Chair of House S&T Committee) and Bart Gordon (former Chair)
Principal task is to answer the following question:– “What are the top ten actions that Congress, the federal
government, state governments, research universities, and others could take to assure the ability of the American research university to maintain the excellence in research and doctoral education needed to help the United States compete, prosper, and achieve national goals for health, energy, the environment, and security in the global community of the 2

Some of the Community Input
All Federal agencies must use negotiated F&A rate unless prohibited by statute
Create mandatory cost sharing exemption for research institutions
Replace effort reporting with a more streamlined method
Allow direct charging of administrative and compliance activities
Reduce sub-recipient monitoring to a single annual audit
Harmonize Federal regulations regarding human subjects research

Is There Hope (for My Proposal and Research
Program)? Competition for dollars will continue to
grow (NSF now receives 55,000 proposals per year, up 10,000 from a few years ago)
Funding IS available – but proposal excellence is critical
Think about a broad portfolio of sources (e.g., DSI, foundations, industry)
Work in collaborative teams Think broadly across disciplines as well as
in your own – to tackle problems at the boundaries
Align your work with national priorities Lobby the Hill for support to research
agencies

Final Thoughts: Where is the Science Enterprise Headed?
Funding will be problematic because of HUGE budget pressures
Rise of China and India will continue but is really good for science overall and for the US IF we respond appropriately
Stovepipe struggles in academia and agencies
More agency partnerships with industry Continued emphasis on practical
outcomes and less inquiry-based research
Increasing integration of social, behavioral, economic sciences in traditional S&E fields
