ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE
______________________________________________________________________________
Vice President for Research and Economic Development, 2007 – Present.
Mississippi State University is a nationally recognized land grant university classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Research University – High Activity. MSU had new grants and contracts in excess of $151M in FY2008, placing it among the top 100 universities nationally in funded research. The Vice President for Research and Economic Development is the chief research officer for the university, is a member of the Executive Council, and reports directly to the President. The Vice President has administrative oversight and responsibility for Sponsored Programs Administration (including Export Control), the Office of Regulatory Compliance, the Office of Laboratory Animal Research, the Office of Technology Commercialization, the Facilities Security Officer, and the Thad Cochran Research, Technology, and Economic Development Park. The Vice President for Research and Economic Development also is the lead institutional officer for non-agriculture based federal initiatives. Additionally, the Vice President serves as the President of the MSU Research Technology Corporation during odd years.
Major Accomplishments:
• Developed a strategic plan with significant university input that seeks to place Mississippi State in the Top 100 Research Institutions nationally in all major categories by 2012 (http://www.research.msstate.edu/plan/).
• MSU landed in excess of $151M in new grants and contracts in 2007 – 2008, the third highest total ever achieved.
• Secured funding for several major federal initiatives including $7.4M for a new building in the Thad Cochran Research, Development, and Technology Park (http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20081013/NEWS/81013005).
• Developed and implemented an improved process for selection of federal research and economic development initiatives which is responsible for nearly $43M annually in Kirk H. Schulz 3 congressional requests. During the last congressional budget cycle, Mississippi State was ranked as the top university in the U.S. in acquisition of federally directed funds (http://chronicle.com/free/v54/i29/29a00101.htm).
• Provided support for the establishment of 7 high-technology Mississippi University Research Authority (MURA) start-up companies (Biocrude, LLC; Camgian Networks; Remote Animal Monitoring Solutions; Atmos Technology; Predictive Design Technologies; Infinisat, LLC; MP Resins), 80 patent disclosures, 23 patent applications, and 4 patents since 2007.
• Provided support for four new research centers – the National Strategic Analysis and Training Center (nSPARC), the Family Business Research Center, The Sustainable Energy Research Center (SERC), and the MSU Energy Institute – bringing the total number of centers and institutes at MSU to 41.
• Initiated a monthly “Dear Colleague” letter to keep faculty and staff informed about new initiatives within the Office of Research, to promote faculty achievement to the entire university community, and in general to promote improved communications between the Office of Research and the university community (http://www.research.msstate.edu/personals/schulz.php).
• Initiated and developed a research experience for high school students focused on the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science. Presently, 22 high school students are conducting research projects with MSU faculty members.
• Developed electronic mail list servers with monthly research announcements and funding opportunities sent to focused faculty groups (such as Humanities and Sciences) in order to increase the number of faculty doing funded research.
• Developed leadership programs for faculty and staff members to prepare the next generation of academic and research leaders at Mississippi State that have impacted 35 faculty and 15 staff members to date (http://www.research.msstate.edu/development/).
