Introduction The Research and Development Center (R&DC) of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez was established September 12th 1986, by Certification 86-87-56 of the Council of Higher Education through the exemplary efforts of Dr. Rafael Muñoz-Candelario (Department of Chemical Engineering) and Dr. Juan G. González-Lagoa (Marine Sci-ences). The Center’s first official Director, Dr. Manuel Hernández-Avila (Marine Sciences) was appointed in October 1994; he served until June 1999. Dr. Ramón E. Vásquez-Espinosa (Electrical and Computer Engineering) served from July 1999 until March 2000. Dr. Allen R. Lewis (Biology) was the third appointed Director and served from March 2000 through June 2001. Professor Lueny Morell (Chemical Engineering) directed the R&DC from July 2001 until August 2002. Dr. Fernando J. Bird-Picó (Biology), served until De-cember 31, 2005. Dr. David Suleiman-Rosado (Chemical Engineering) was Director from January 1st, 2006 until August 10th, 2007. Our current—and seventh - Director is Professor Yuri Rojas-Ramírez (Mathematical Sciences), who was appointed on August 11, 2007. Dr. Marisol Vera (Chemistry) is Associate Director. Both are seen above, together with Mrs. Mariblanca Aguet-Moreno, Administrative Officer at the Director’s Office.

R&D Center’s Mission
The R&DC was created by the former Council on Higher Education, legal predecessor of today’s Board of Trustees of the University of Puerto Rico, by virtue of its Certifica-tion 56 (1986-87). This document states the mission of the Center at its inception in the following terms: • Foster and develop research and development activities in engineering, technology
and sciences. • Create and develop a technological base to directly serve the Puerto Rican commu-
nity.
R&D Center’s Responsibilities and Duties
Consonant with its Mission, the Center has the following responsibilities and duties: • Stimulate R&D activities. • Manage R&D activities. • Create and develop a scientific, technological and entrepreneurial ecosystem to serve
the community, with emphasis on Puerto Rico. • Provide strategic direction (a “technology roadmap”) for R&D activities at UPRM. • Manage the physical infrastructure that supports R&D. • Procure funds for the operation and implementation of the strategic plan. • Disseminate R&D results.

Message from the Director Prof. Yuri Rojas Towards a flat Colegio The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM), or the Colegio as we locals like to call it, is being flattened. In 2005, The New York Times’ columnist Thomas L. Friedman published a remarkable book, The World is Flat. In it he describes factors, which he calls “flatteners”, that have recently converged to allow individuals all over the world to actively participate in a globalized knowledge-based economy. Three key-words summarize this new paradigm: Connections, Collaborations and Competitiveness. While Friedman emphasizes things like supply-chaining and work flow software, in terms of the research endeavor at UPRM, I will extrapolate these to highlight what we have and what we need to fully become a flat campus, one that allows its researchers to connect, collaborate and compete not only among themselves but also with other innovators around the globe: Administrative infrastructure, Communication infrastructure, common research spaces, shared facilities, and institutional policies, as well as the ability to seek and nurture partnerships with others. Perhaps one of the first flatteners was the creation of the R&D Center. More recently, communication platforms such as the Internet, e-mail, the wireless network available in-campus and even off-campus (for example, at the Mayagüez Town Center), and certainly our new virtual habitat mi uprm, enhance the power to interact. In order to strengthen our research base, the R&D Center has promoted new institutional policies on topics such as postdoctoral researchers, shared facilities and cost sharing,. We have also begun to develop other strategies to flatten the field even more:
• The Bio Science and Engineering Initiative (BioSEI) – a special seed money fund that requires interdepartmental collaborations and expects partnerships with the industry (in collaboration with the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering)
• The Research Administration Academy – a series of workshops and conferences to give our faculty and support personnel better tools to submit proposals and manage projects (in collaboration with the Center for Professional Development)
• Globalization of UPRM – participation in activities to showcase the institution’s recent research efforts, as presenters of papers (such as in the 2007 ICEE and ASEE), or as participants (such as in the AURP or NCURA meetings)
Other initiatives are in the works – to identify and furnish research space, to improve dissemination of funding opportunities and the submission process, and to create a more effective research ecosystem by disseminating our results, just to give three examples. Let the flattening continue!

External Resources Office The External Resources Office (ORE, in Spanish) is responsible for reviewing, endorsing and submitting proposals to external sponsors. It also insures compliance with agency requirements as well as institutional policies. Our main goals are to increase the quantity and quality of projects receiving external funding. Additional goals are dissemination of available funding opportunities and to encourage faculty participation in seeking research funds. Workshops are scheduled for the 2007 Fall semester addressing proposal and budget preparation and electronic submissions. We will also sponsor a panel of successful researchers, kind enough to share their time and experiences with peers. This has been a joint effort with the Center for Professional Enhancement. During this last year one more resource has been added to this office, Marelix Marrero-Ortiz. The office consists of two employees devoted to the mission and tasks of pre-award in sponsored research.

Continued using the AMEX card. The card is used to purchase material and equipment that cost less than $1,000. In this seventh year of using the AMEX card, 69 orders were made, for a total investment of $ 47,819.37. Using the credit card allowed merchandise to be received sooner than it otherwise would be and purchases to be made from sources that do not accept purchase orders. Kept a detailed register, by expense and geographic area, of all the orders placed with the AMEX card. Used email to communicate with both researchers and suppliers, which helped greatly in the purchasing process. The office was able to receive quotes and specific directions on critical orders.
