1. Tomorrow’s Big Science Requires Big Partnerships John D. Petersen President University of Tennessee American Chemical Society August 30, 2005

2. Historic Perspective: The Manhattan Project Government - Education - Enterprise

3. The Partnership Collaboration Joint Initiatives Shared Funding

4. Traditional Model / Traditional Outcome National Labs Research Scientists Excellent Facilities Educational Buildings Students Faculty

5. The Formula– From traditional disciplines To melded interdisciplinary areas. From faculty / scientist collaboration To real jointly appointed / jointly funded faculty. From separate facilities To joint facilities at multiple sites From unlinked student internships To student internships in spinoffs from joint technology development.

6. Paradigm Shift– Biological Science (Genetics and Genomics) Biological Science (Genetics and Genomics) Computational Science Computational Science Nano Materials Neutron Science

7. How Do We Make It Happen? Joint Facilities 3 Joint Institutes at ORNL Computational science Biology Neutron science Built with State Funds

8. How Do We Make It Happen? 4 th Joint Institute on UT campus –Advanced materials $50 million investment $30 million building $15 million fixed equipment $5 million support

9. Hire joint faculty National Academy level $20 million recurring funding $10 million state funds $10 million ORNL How Do We Make It Happen?

10. Research Scientists / Faculty Complimentary faculty hired in interdisciplinary area 35 current joint UT / ORNL faculty How Do We Make It Happen?

11. Spallation Neutron source World’s Fastest Computer Mouse House High resolution electron microscope Major World-Best Facilities and Equipment Serve as Core

12. How Do We Make It Happen? Core Universities Partnership– UT Virginia NC State Vanderbilt Virginia Tech Duke Georgia Tech Florida State

13. How Do We Make It Happen? Entrepreneurial Development– Spin-off of 61 Companies from UT-Battelle

14. Microbes - Diseases / Vaccines Partners for New Initiatives– Genomes to Life Microbes – Energy UT-Knoxville UTHSC-Memphis St. Jude’s Childrens Research Hospital Vanderbilt Medical Center ORNL

15. Student Impact How Do We Make It Happen? Re-designed interdisciplinary curriculum Research / education with faculty / research scholars in joint sites Internships and companies with direct link to intellectual property development

16. Big Science… National Labs Industry Universities Government Big Partnerships.
