Título: Enhancing Academic Research and Scholarship

Many academic institutions seek to visibly and substantially increase their commitment to the research mission and raise their research and scholarship profile. Yet institutions often struggle with translating such a wish to concrete actions and accomplishments. During 2012-13, I chaired a senate working group at Rice University that was tasked with assessing the culture, processes, and structures currently existing at Rice to support and improve research and scholarship efforts. In this talk I present the findings of the working group and describe how they apply to other academic institutions.
