Current Goals
Low research activityLow % funded facultyFunding instability of junior faculty
100% participation (multiple levels)Secure & increase research fundingRecruitment of active & funded researchersCreate a scientifically challenging environment
Plan:Dr. Gregory J. Bagby, Director Scientific Development•Establish mentoring teams & identify plan with benchmarks•Establish Distinguished Scientist Lecture Series•Chair faculty recruitment committee•Develop work in progress sessions
2nd & 4th Fridays of each month at 3:00 pm Open invitation to all faculty, trainees &
staff Special invitation to mentors &
collaborators Informal presentations
Specific aims for grant Results for manuscript Hypothesis development

One graduate course offered each semester Renal/vascular Instrumentation Host defense/immune function Journal club
Current Goals
Laboratory space occupied by obsolete & non-functioning equipmentNo ownership of some shared instrumentsNo documentation on certification/calibration
Create functional shared laboratory spacesOptimize function of existing equipmentImprove laboratory areas to attract new recruits
Plan:Dr. Johnny Porter, Director Resources & Infrastructure•Identify equipment in need of repairs & upgrades•Plan location of shared equipment•Coordinate laboratory space clean up & improvement•Help faculty gain access to needed equipment and resources
Identify state for each piece of shared equipment
Assign responsible individual for each piece
Determine optimal space arrangement & location for shared equipment
Current Goals
High institutional participation by some faculty
Engage junior faculty in Institutional activitiesEnsure Departmental representation on key committees
Plan:Establish participation of Physiology faculty members in important School of Medicine CommitteesEngage Physiology faculty in Institutional affairs
Research seminar (weekly) 100% attendance & participation
