Committee Composition

The committee consists of seven members: three full-time faculty elected by the Faculty Assembly, three full-time faculty appointed by the Dean. The Associate Dean for Research will serve as an ex-officio member. The Dean will appoint the chairperson.

Standing Committee Charge

It is the responsibility of this committee to stimulate interest in research by faculty members and students, and to communicate to these individuals the availability of research opportunities.

Additional Charge from the Dean for 2009–2010

This year I am charging the Research Committee with the following tasks:

Continue to develop the didactic and mentored components of the Research Track Program.
Evaluate the benefits of the University Scholars Program to UFCD.
Evaluate the benefits of the Summer Research Program for UFCD students.
Re-evaluate the guidelines for allocation of bridging funds and make recommendations regarding proposed changes to me.
Re-evaluate the criteria for Research Honors and High Research Honors relative to the new Research Track Program.
Review, in conjunction with the Associate Dean for Research, requests for Dean’ Research Seminar Series.

This year, each standing faculty committee will be charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Research Committee include:

NIH/NIDCR Rank for dental schools.
NIH/NIDCR Rank for academic institutions.
ADA Rank (all grant support).
Research dollars per faculty FTE assigned to research.
$$/sq. ft. of research space and by investigator, department and center.
Percent of fully funded research effort by tenured/tenure accruing faculty.
Annual startup funds.

The committee should evaluate performance on these measures and when appropriate, action plans for improvement should be instituted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The PDCA is the college’s model for outcomes assessment and evaluation.

Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities

The Research Committee meets on an "as needed" basis usually meeting up to six times per year. Meetings are 1 to 1½ hours in length. In addition to attending meetings, members are required to review proposals, seed grant applications, UF scholar applications, professorship award nominations, etc. as needed prior to meetings.

Time commitment: Approximately 1½ hours every other month for meetings along with additional time required to review materials.

A GroupWise distribution of this committee is located in GroupWise at %RESEARCH_COMM.

Schedule of Meetings

The Research Committee meets from 12:00 p.m. –1:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
