6. GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON RESEARCH Research Program Sponsor Description • Assess the quality of research in universities and colleges in the UK • Enable funding bodies to determine how to allocate grants across research projects • Detail by institution and by discipline those areas that are internationally competitive, together with emerging areas where there are opportunities for development • Identify thematic domains for future European support • Part of EU’s strategy to become “the most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world” ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

10. RESEARCH RESPONDS TO GLOBALIZATION Research now... • Crosses national boundaries • Exhibits high mobility of resources, people, ideas, technologies and infrastructure • Overarches multi-jurisdictional regulation • Responds and reacts to public and private pressures • Networks energetically in real and virtual space/time • Straddles between competition and collaboration

11. RESEARCH MORE EXCITING BUT ALSO MORE CHALLENGING • hours per week searching and gathering information hours per week organizing, analyzing and applying information Researchers spend more time looking for information than analyzing and applying it

12. FUNDING PRESSURES • is the approval rate for National Science Foundation grant applications by new researchers is the average age when biomedical researchers receive their first grant from the National Institute of Health Competition for funding is intense and will continue to intensify Source: American Academy of Arts and Sciences (www.scienceprogress.org)

13. Increased focus on EFFECTIVENESS & EFFICIENCY IMPROVE PERFORMANCE across all workflows that make up the research enterprise

15. A RESEARCH MANAGER’S WORKFLOW

16. A RESEARCH EXECUTIVE’S WORKFLOW

17. IMPLICATION FOR UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP DESIRED OUTCOME IMPROVED INSTITUTIONAL EXCELLENCE AND REPUTATION NEED FOR RESEARCH PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE IMPLICATION FOR UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

18. LEAN RESEARCH = GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT PERFORMANCE

19. RESEARCH EXECUTIVES: KEY CHALLENGES Implications Questions • Need constant flow of information and intelligence about internal performance, benchmarks and comparative performance • Require matrix of tools linking: • - Reputation and Ranking • - Growth and Development • with • - Research Performance • - Research Strategy • “Have my strategic decisions been effective?” • “Are we capitalizing on new hot areas e.g. stem-cells?” • “Where should my strategic focus be?” • “Who are my true competitors per competency?” • “How is my competency portfolio performing?”

20. NEW MEASURE FOR A NEW REALITY ISSUES EXISTING APPROACH TO PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT • Number and scope of journals too limiting • Risk:too few journals included in analysis and potential for English-speaking bias in journal selection • Level of aggregation too high-level • Risk: limited view of performance data on the level where it counts – that of school or large focused laboratory • Inter-disciplinary boundaries changing • Risk: Not understanding how different disciplines interact with one another on the institutional level • Risk: Not seeing new emerging research areas • Journal-based classification • Assign journals to categories • Science categorized into small number of fields and subfields (i.e. highly aggregated classification system) • Example: National Science Foundation groups science into 13 fields and 127 subfields New bottoms-up approach needed for identifying scientific leadership 20

26. SUMMARY • Efficiency and effectiveness can only be realized by taking a deeper look at the research activity workflows and identifying improvement opportunities • Progressive institutions will demonstrate lean research by adopting new performance intelligence tools to identify research strengths to focus on • These institutions will be better positioned to improve their standing among their peers • Lean research presents an opportunity for each of us to play an enhanced role in the research process • Librarians can dramatically transform their role in line with this new reality and support institutions in becoming lean research organizations • Economic downturn has intensified focus on research effectiveness and efficiency, bringing a new reality for us all…
