Developing A Research Portfolio A Darwinian Approach March 14, 2007 Charlotte (Toby) Tate Dean

Darwin says: Survival of the fittest for research: Situate the individual in a supportive environment with just enough pressures for success….

Environment of the Research Scientist

Darwin meets Dr. Westie Jake

Westhighland Jake, PhD Pedigree: degrees from major research universities

Stages of Dr. Jake’s Academic Career Launch: independent scientist Emergence: scientist/administrator Convergence: administrator

Dr. Jake’s Personal Characteristics Critical thinker Clever Risk taker Excellent communicator Independent, yet collaborative Isn’t afraid of failure

Dr. Jake’s Professional Attributes Published or close to publishing Focused on one area within expertise Pushes the boundaries of knowledge Likely to develop an independent, sustainable scientific career Will train the next generation of scientists

Start up funds? Institutional investment?

I don’t think so.

Major Research University The next place that called….

Already constructed research labs

Start up funds? Institutional investment? Start up funds appropriate to methods Grants management infrastructure Grant proposal development support Secretarial/IT support Core facilities (dept/college/campus)

Clusters of research strength

Mentoring at each stage of career

X X They said in time… Jake thought, cool.
