Charge:

With regard to the V2C goal of “visibly and substantially” increasing commitment to Rice’s research mission and raising our research and scholarship profile, the working group will consult broadly with the Rice academic community and will coordinate its activities with Graduate Council, the University Committee on Research, and the Research Administration Advisory Group to:

• Assess current processes and structures designed to support and improve research and scholarship efforts

• Identify best practices here and at peer institutions

• Translate the V2C general goals to more concrete, measurable ones, identifying obstacles and risks to achieving these goal and suggestions for overcoming them
