Dare To Discover
Daniel A. ReedVice President for Research and Economic DevelopmentUniversity Computational Science and Bioinformatics ChairComputer Science, Electrical Engineering & Computer Engineering, and Medicine

To give birth to an idea--to discover a great thought—an intellectual nugget, right under the dust of a field that many a brainplow had gone over before. … To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else--these are the things that confer a pleasure compared with which other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other ecstasies cheap and trivial.
The Innocents Abroad
Discovery!
Rapid, unrelenting globalization• Social, economic and technological disruption• Economic disintermediation and consumerization• Supply chain optimization and cost management
Mobile, global workforce• Freelancers follow the opportunities, often working remotely• Rising educational attainment needs• Global competition for the most talented and educated
Emerging economies in the East• Majority of middle class expansion is in China and India• Huge global debt saddling the U.S. and the EU• Slow and painful recovery from massive deleveraging
Rising natural resource competition• Emerging economies driving scarcity• Global environmental and economic impact

Public research universities: a new compact
Government Academia Industry
Federal research funding• Looking forward, probably flat• But, reallocation to match priorities
• Sequestration still looms• Multiple scenarios
Multiple institution collaborations• Faculty access• Facility and data sharing
Rising administrative research burdens• Faculty and institutions• Reporting, export control
Health care reform• Clinical and research interplay• Cost shifting and partnerships
Politicization of research• Federal and state scrutiny• Breakdown of bipartisan support
Facilities and research• Operating budgets and new starts• National prioritization
The unfunded, tenured professor• Increasingly common, with big
implications
Some research-specific themes
We (and others) are resource challenged• Resource limitations are an opportunity, not just a challenge
Creating more resources will require some philosophically new approaches• Taking some calculated risks and increasing our risk tolerance• Fostering broad perspectives about interdependencies and relationships
Dream big, not small (Burnham’s maxim)• Reward innovation and creativity at all levels
Recognize and reward novel thinking (Edison’s maxim)• Seek forgiveness, not permission
Integrate all available assets • Avoid silos and local optimizations, and share first
Strategy and culture
Strive to be “of the people, by the people, for the people”• Overcome perception and (sometimes) reality of isolation and elitism• Address pressing societal challenges and needs• Change our compact with the state and society
Doing so will pay enormous dividends• Politically, socially, economically and intellectually
Outreach and engagement practicalities• Statewide presence and accessibility• Museums in the digital age• Societal problems and cultural insights• Services and connections• Workforce needs and STEM• Entrepreneurship and enablement
Emerging themes
But albeit that he was a philosopher,Yet hadde he but little gold in coffer,But all that he might of his friendes hentOn bookes and on learning he it spent,And busily gan for the soules prayOf them that gave him wherewith to scholay.Of study took he most care and most heed.Not one word spoke he more than was need,And that was spoke in form and reverenceAnd short and quick and full of high sentence.Sounding in moral virtue was his speech,And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.
The Canterbury Tales, General Prologue
Gladly learn and gladly teach
Research enterprise writ large• Futures and envisioning meetings• Define, rather than respond to agendas
• Greater resource sharing• Reduce duplication in research cores
• Cluster hiring coupling• Regional, national & international
partnerships
End-to-end perspectives and agendas• Humanities, arts, policy• Science, technology, services• Envisioning and imaging
Everyone must “give to get”• The big questions drive change• Change creates capability and resources
Liberal arts• Illuminate the human condition• Connect to social issues and needs• Highlight societal relevance• Partner with foundations and others
Science and engineering• Diversify funding and scale• Enable applied and industrial research
Health affairs• Translational and personalized medicine• Cultural and economic shift• Informatics leverage
Emerging themes
Strategic communications• Branding and ROBs• Dare to Discover: The Hawkeye Way
• Media training, social media, multimedia• Collateral materials, spokespersons• Futures and envisioning conferences
Federal relations• Three levels of agenda influence• Respond, craft, define
• Brainstorming and ideation• Initiatives and single institution responses
• Faculty mentoring, agency watch• AAU, APLU, CIC, ASTRA, TFAI, CoC, …
Core facilities and sharing• Efficiency studies and coordination• Cost exposure and allocation
• Startup packages and sociology• Share first, locally, regionally, nationally …
Economic development• Coordinated strategy and ROB• University, area, state, region,
national/international• State/regional engagement and economic
dev• Rebalance shallow and deep IP foci• Examine entrepreneurship/licensing balance

Business• Implementation and execution• Shorter time scales
Students are one bridge, but not enough• They carry ideas and enthusiasm
We need practical, engaged partnerships• Professional, intellectually bilingual staff• Appropriate reward metrics and mutual commitment• Translational R&D, applying new ideas to meet business challenges

Embrace business sensibilities• Recognize the value of money, business cycles and timelines• Implement business metrics and processes• Educate faculty/staff/students appropriately• Distinguish economically valuable from intellectually interesting
Enhance technology transfer• Coordinate licensing/patents and entrepreneurship• Rebalance shallow and deep intellectual property development• Increase creation of rapidly commercializable intellectual property• Triage licensable technology lists and make assessable and connected• Recognize the value of grouped licenses and patent fences
Rethinking university economic development
Accelerate entrepreneurship• Encourage faculty/staff/student startups via culture and policy• Leverage incubation facilities and UI Research Park• Increase cross-fertilization across assets
Build applied R&D partnerships• Target real world business problems• Develop staff and trade secret protections• Support student internships and company evaluation of students
Take the engagement across the Creative Corridor and the state• Project skills, expertise and information• Partner with local, state and regional economic development organizations
Rethinking university economic development
