Research and Innovation at NC State
1. Research & Innovation at NC State Finance & Business Leadership Team Retreat 11 November 2010 Terri L. Lomax Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation
2. NC State – a Research University We are classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a: Research University (very high research activity) Out of 4,391 U.S. institutions only 94 receive this classification (list included in your packet) only 2.2% of U.S. institutions of higher learning are Research Universities with very high research activity Source: http://classifications.carnegiefoundation.org/summary/basic.php
3. Research University = Social Responsibility Our Civic Responsibility: To develop knowledge for the improvement of society, and to think about and act upon the public dimensions of our work. Opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and administrators to use their many talents for the greater good must pervade every aspect of our work.
4. Outline NC State Research & Innovation that solves real problems in the real world! What it takes to make & sustain a great research University today! What we’re doing to increase our research and innovation impact! Next steps / Goals
5. Solving real problems in the real world! Let’s start with some of NC State’s research & innovation successes that benefit society Real challenges. Real solutions. A real difference.
6. Challenge: Disease Prevention The American Heart Association estimates that 80 million adults in the U.S. have heart disease, making it the #1 killer of Americans. 50% of people who have had heart attacks reported “normal” cholesterol numbers. 1 in 4 Americans have pre-diabetes and don’t know it. Real challenges. Real solutions. A real difference.
7. NC State Solution: LipoProfile® NC State’s Dr. James Otvos- Professor of Biochem - discovered a method of using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to quantify lipoproteins in blood samples. The startup company, LipoScience, was launched and developed: LipoProfile® - a blood test clinically proven more effective at predicting heart disease risk than cholesterol tests. LipoScience also offers an insulin resistance score (LP-IR) that may help assess risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Doctors and clinicians have administered over 5 million LipoProfile® tests to date. Solution from NC State’s Department of Biochemistry: Dr. James Otvos, now Liposcience Chief Scientific Officer/Founder/EVP Real challenges. Real solutions. A real difference.
8. Challenge: Climate Change Scientists project disruption in water supplies, agriculture, ecosystems and coastal communities. Economists and scientists agree that the level of risk justifies an aggressive response. In 2009 world leaders agreed on a dangerous climate threshold: an increase of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit from the average global temperature recorded just before the Industrial Revolution. (This translates into an increase of 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit above the Earth's current average temperature, about 59 degrees). Real challenges. Real solutions. A real difference.
9. NC State Solution: Institute for Climate & Satellites 2009: NC State and NOAA establish collaborative climate research institute: Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites (CICS) “CICS clearly establishes our state as a major contributor to the understanding of climate change and its impacts on our planet and the lives of our citizens.” Steve Leath, UNC System VP for Research Otis Brown, Director, NC State’s North Carolina Institute for Climate Sciences. Real challenges. Real solutions. A real difference.
10. NC State Solution: Climate Science Center Fall of 2010: U.S. Dept. of Interior selects NC State to lead a federal hub for climate change research in the Southeast: Climate Science Center NC State’s Climate Science Center will not only impact the U.S. understanding of climate change, it will also create jobs and provide opportunities for students, including a new climate-change curriculum. Principal Investigator Damian Shea, Department Head of Biology. For a full list of co-investigators see: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~nlmccoy/press_release.html Real challenges. Real solutions. A real difference.

25. Still Innovating – in a Difficult Economy Total research award funding brought into NC State for the past 10 years. 30% funding awards increase from FY09 – FY10 What it takes to sustain and grow a Research University.
26. What it Takes – Outstanding Students NC State students win National Innovation Prize for HydrEYECorneOasis Contact Lens! Alex McGaughy, RoyaNezarati, Eli Pollack, Trinh Doan, and Elizabeth Kirk This talented team was selected first place among more than 60 entries received from 30 universities across the nation. This is a national student design competition for devices that aid people with disabilities in the workplace. Sponsored by the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA). http://nciia.org/bmestart for full story.
27. What it Takes – Partnerships NC State partners with industry to help us move academic discovery to market, where it can make a real difference: >110 better world products from lab to market 72 start-up companies attracting >$750M investment and 3,000 jobs to the region What it takes to sustain and grow a Research University.
28. What it Takes – Partnerships Centers & Institutes draw over 150 Industry partners to campus: DuPont ExxonMobil Cisco CREE General Electric Samsung Toyota Progress Energy Procter & Gamble Texas Instruments RWTH Aachen University, Germany Swiss Federal Institute of Technology What it takes to sustain and grow a Research University.
29. What it Takes - Partnerships The Research Triangle Solar Fuels Institute is dedicated to solving the technical, environmental, economic, security and societal issues related to fossil fuels. RTSF is a groundbreaking partnership between NC State, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, and RTI aimed at making the Triangle area the leading scientific resource in the field of solar fuels. What it takes to sustain a Research University.

52. Springboard (NEW)Provides support for faculty producing large-scale proposals for graduate fellowships and multidisciplinary research. There is no charge for PDU services. The PDU supports multiple-investigator proposals over $1 million. Created through realignment of existing resources, the ISSC provides direct research administrative services to University units that have historically lacked support. (e.g. 36 centers, institutes and units are not associated with a college research office, yet they generate over 18% of all funding dollars) Springboard gives us a way to more readily connect people, ideas and resources. Springboard is a ‘one stop shop’ for NC State faculty, students AND external partners (existing and potential) interested in engaging in the vast innovation opportunities at NC State.
