13 STRATEGY AND PARTNERSHIPS Possible Strategies Partnerships and Tactics Achieve Emerging Preeminent Status by focusing on the following six criteria. Conduct external and internal marketing campaigns. Explain the benefits of FGCU s STEM-related partnerships and research. Celebrate and acknowledge all research initiatives throughout FGCU. (i) Achieve a top-50 ranking on at least two well-known and highly respected national public university rankings. Conduct a feasibility study of potential regional and national partnerships to determine potential R&D Expenditures on an annual basis. Continue to enhance Student Success initiatives which promote student persistence, retention, and graduation rates. (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) A 6-year graduation rate of 70 percent or higher for full-time, first-time-incollege-students. IPEDS confirmed. Six or more faculty who are members of a national academy. TARU confirmed. Total annual research expenditures in diversified nonmedical sciences of $150 million. Confirmed by NSF. A top-100 university national ranking for research expenditures in five or more science, technology, engineering, or mathematics fields of study. Confirmed by NSF. (vi) An endowment of $500 million or more. Confirmed by Governors Annual Accountability Report. Survey FGCU s STEM faculty to determine if six or more faculty are members of a national academy. If necessary, hire Research l faculty and staff who satisfy this criterion and can develop doctoral programs in existing FGCU s STEM disciplines or in new STEM disciplines where funding sources are more abundant and accessible. Review funding sources, including NSF and others utilizing the following data compiled by the National Science Foundation(NSF): Selected Areas Sources of Funds R&D Fields Federal Agencies Geographic Distribution Pass Throughs as Sub-Recipients Total R&D Expenditures by Institution Develop additional partnerships with entities such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Oak Ridge Associated Universities and create additional research agreements with existing partners. Consider adding discipline-specific student-faculty research and/or studentfaculty projects as an institutional distinctive throughout the of FGCU. Pursue increased R&D expenditure and Research and Sponsored Programs. Create a research ecosystem focused on cognate regional industries and businesses. Diversify R&D in multiple STEM disciplines to achieve top-100 ranking for expenditures in five or more STEM fields. Include endowment growth in the Capital Campaign. Set a Phase 1 goal of $100-$150 million. Endowment income is a means by which institutional priorities are funded in whole or in part. 13
