13 Many Voices, One Message Others do things when have financial difficulties! Don t forget about the arts and humanities. No top down decisions! UI needs to be easier for business to work with. About time we had a presence in DC. We should be dominating global innovation. Need to reach for greatness or the good ones will leave. Engage the faculty! 13 Time is now for change. Please make things happen! And faster! Stop the Balkan mentality between campuses!

14 TRENDS IN RESEARCH FUNDING 14 14

15 Historical Research Trends Earmarks Single PI Grants Reliance on Federal Grants Campus Silos 15

16 UI Research Expenditures Increase of $35M/year.. 16

17 NIH Funding By Grant Type Single Investigator grants average $300K/year Program/Center grants average $2M/year (Adding $200M in 5 years is either 20 P/C or 150 grants Individual/yr) 17 UIUC

18 Recruiting and Nurturing Talent Rainmaker represents top 20 individuals for each Federal Agency of 3,000 potential PIs Top 20 for each agency obtained approximately 50% of funding! In Millions 18 UIUC

19 Rainmakers and Funding < 3% of faculty are PIs of 50% of our research funding. Need to identify potential Rainmakers and provide professional development. However, Rainmakers are only effective if they have highly talented colleagues! All faculty need to be active scholars. Rainmaker Distribution Rainmaker Funding

20 Research Trends Summary Single investigator grant funding will remain static or be reduced Program and center proposals are funded 10X over single investigator amounts Complexity of problems requiring multidisciplinary approaches will drive the funding of more program and center proposals NEED TWO-PRONGED STRATEGY/SYSTEM- BOTH ARE CRITICAL! One that supports unit driven PI efforts One that supports Rainmaker multidisciplinary/campus activities (most likely in regional public/private partnerships) 20

21 Future Research Trends Program and Project Grants No More Federal Earmarks Increasing complexity of problems to be addressed Public/Private Partnerships 21 Strategic Research Priorities Federal Agency Priorities
