Possible Strategies Achieve Emerging Preeminent Status by focusing on the following six criteria.

(i) Achieve a top-50

ranking on at least two well-known and highly respected national public university rankings.

(ii) A 6-year graduation rate of 70 percent or higher for full-time, first-time-in-college-students. IPEDS confirmed.

(iii) Six or more faculty who are members of a national academy. TARU confirmed.

(iv) Total annual research expenditures in diversified nonmedical sciences of $150 million. Confirmed by NSF.

(v) A top-100 university national ranking for research expenditures in five or more science, technology, engineering, or mathematics fields of study. Confirmed by NSF.

(vi) An endowment of $500 million or more. Confirmed by Governors Annual Accountability Report.

Partnerships and Tactics

› Conduct external and internal marketing campaigns. Explain the benefits of FGCU’s STEM-related partnerships and research. Celebrate and acknowledge all research initiatives throughout FGCU.

› Conduct a feasibility study of potential regional and national partnerships to determine potential R&D Expenditures on an annual basis.

› Continue to enhance Student Success initiatives which promote student persistence, retention, and graduation rates.

› Survey FGCU’s STEM faculty to determine if six or more faculty are members of a national academy. If necessary, hire Research l faculty and staff who satisfy this criterion and can develop doctoral programs in existing FGCU”s STEM disciplines or in new STEM disciplines where funding sources are more abundant and accessible.

› Review funding sources, including NSF and others utilizing the following data compiled by the National Science Foundation(NSF):

Selected Areas

Sources of Funds

R&D Fields

Federal Agencies

Geographic Distribution Pass Throughs as Sub-Recipients

Total R&D Expenditures by Institution

› Develop additional partnerships with entities such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Oak Ridge Associated Universities and create additional research agreements with existing partners.

› Consider adding discipline-specific student-faculty research and/or student-faculty projects as an institutional distinctive throughout the University of FGCU.

› Pursue increased R&D expenditure and Research and Sponsored Programs.

› Create a research ecosystem focused on cognate regional industries and businesses.

› Diversify R&D in multiple STEM disciplines to achieve top-100 ranking for expenditures in five or more STEM fields.

› Include endowment growth in the Capital Campaign. Set a Phase 1 goal of $100-$150 million. Endowment income is a means by which institutional priorities are funded in whole or in part.
