research, the chief information officer, the vice president for academic affairs, the vice president for institutional advancement, the director of information and library resources, the Killgore Research Faculty Committee and industry partners will create the planning documents; seek appropriate approvals, funding and location; and implement its creation. CREATION OF EXPERIMENTAL/BEHAVIORAL APPLIED SCIENCE RESEARCH FACILITY/LABS There is potential to integrate applied research/researchers on campus, including those from the areas of psychology, business, behavioral economics, communication, social work, sociology, criminal justice and nursing, among others. This will be a facility designed with the nuances of multiple disciplines in mind. The focus of the center will be seeking grant funding combined with fees for local service work that supports cross-disciplinary research. PARTNERSHIPS WITH TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY WT and the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Lab (TVMDL): A shared research plan to integrate WT research with the TVMDL will be created to include external grants and sponsored research. The TVMDL will help attract sponsored-research projects and external grants and enhance research and analytical capabilities for WT faculty. Renovations and updates will need to occur to current capabilities at the WT Research Feedlot, Nance Ranch and various campus research labs. Additionally, the new Veterinary Education, Research & Outreach Center will add opportunity for students and faculty.
Metric: Increase the number of business and community partnerships established and external research dollars generated annually by 100 percent. Metric: Endow the current University student internal grant research programs and a graduate research assistant for each college and school.
