Task Force Charter
The Research, Discovery, and Innovation Task Force will focus on assessing the research lifecycle to identify and understand opportunities for integration that will yield increased research collaboration, propel new areas of research, and support the attainment of research recognition. The Research, Discovery, and Innovation Task Force will also focus on asset mapping and evaluating strengths of existing supporting infrastructure (e.g., processes, policies, roles & responsibilities, organizational units, technologies) at both institutions to make recommendations about infrastructure necessary to achieve the desired research outcomes as an integrated entity.
