We need to investigate a university system that is already doing something similar to what we're proposing. It's also important to check whether other departments are doing something similar. The external sales issue is an FSO function. David R. Johnson will address this with Randa Rosby to establish an ad hoc committee. Research Centers We should use definitions to clarify the functions and roles of the centers.
Simple information is needed about who is in charge and what is being disseminated.
Perhaps we need a channel for communication so that the various centers do not overlap and cross boundaries. The research is often linked to the inappropriate people. There is a disconnect between centers and departments. At the next meeting, the Research Committee will further discuss this topic. David will prepare several questions to consider in advance of the meeting.
