What's needed for research support on campus Prof. Dr. Lorrie Sippola said participants agreed changes need to occur at all levels, not just at the administrative level. One idea for making more time for both faculty and student research was to examine revising curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate level to reduce teaching responsibilities for faculty university-wide. Participants also felt strongly that new faculty members should be mentored by more experienced faculty when they begin to make research grant applications. Strategies suggested for improving communication included bringing the public to campus more, bringing back regular guided tours of science exhibits, and exploring less costly means of publicizing research including the Internet.
Fragmentation is also a problem.
