13. ACTION ITEMS

14. Goals Secure State Infrastructure Funding Secure Federal Funding Increase Contracts and Grants Establish a Performance Measure in addition to the Bottom-Line ($$) Maintain Low G&A

15. Goal-1: Secure State Funding A) Build AAMURI Operational Fund in the State Budget Education Trust Funds Economy Development Funds Others (!?) B) Informative Meetings with State Legislators

16. Goal-2: Secure Federal Funding Opportunities Build Partnerships with Federally funded Labs, Centers, Universities and Offices, Conduct Informative Meetings with Federal Representatives, Conduct meetings at GOV labs, Centers, and Offices. Become a source of information and partnership building

17. Goal-3: Increased Contracts and Grants Build Partnerships with private and government agencies, Conduct Informative Meetings with private and government agencies, Help build Contract Based Infrastructure at AAMU, Focus on IS&IT, IER&S and ATR&D.

18. Goal-4: Performance Measure Bottom-line (Jour. of Accountancy), Grants and Contracts at AAMURI and at AAMU, Impacts on Scholarships, Fellowships, and Grants at AAMU and its RI, Recruiting New Faculty, Staff and Students for AAMU and its RI, Advocacy of AAMU and its RI, Building Partnerships which impacts AAMU and its RI, Help to Enhance the G&C Infrastructure,

19. Goal-5: Maintain Low G&A 1- Dual Responsibility for the Technical Managers (Training required) Management Training for Tech Staff Direct Marketing by Top Administrators and Managers 2- Combine support service resources (as much as allowed) 3- Monthly Monitoring/planning for the Budget/Finance/Bids (daily)

23. STRATEGIC RESEARCH AREAS
