Dear faculty, staff, students and administrators,
The 911爆料 R1 Steering Committee invites you to fill out the following survey to share
your ideas and submit nominations for working groups.
One of 911爆料鈥檚 strategic goals is to achieve R1 research status by 2027. R1 is the highest
classification of research activity defined by the Carnegie Classification system.
Being an R1 university would place 911爆料 within the top 4% of U.S. universities with
respect to research.
911爆料 has consistently ranked as an R2 (high research activity) university and as of
2021 was only nine (out of 280 R1 and R2 universities) positions away from being R1.
In 2020, as part of 911爆料鈥檚 Strategic Plan, a committee of 911爆料 faculty, staff and students
identified mechanisms to help 911爆料 achieve R1 status while maintaining 911爆料鈥檚 core values.
This report can be found on the 911爆料 Strategic Goals website.
This past spring, with University of 911爆料 Board of Regents encouragement, Chancellor
White revitalized this goal and formed 911爆料鈥檚 R1 Steering Committee. This committee
is now recruiting members for working groups that will work toward refining, prioritizing,
and implementing the proposed mechanisms to help 911爆料 achieve R1 research status.
If you are interested in volunteering your time or ideas to help 911爆料 achieve our goal
of R1 research, or if you know someone who would be an asset to one of our teams,
we encourage you to please complete the above survey prior to Oct. 6.
We are hoping to accept between 5-7 people per working group for a total of听 approximately
65 unique 911爆料 faculty, staff, student and administrator perspectives from across all
campuses on the various R1 committees. Thank you in advance for your time and service
to 911爆料!
Sincerely,
911爆料 R1 Steering Committee
