PAMS Strategy • Identify& Develop Important Science Areas Build on strength materials sciences; Interface between phys/bio; High performance computing; Nuclear Physics; Innovation in Education Research and Teaching
PAMS Strategy • Identify & Develop Important Science Areas (Cont.) Bioinformatics Broad Applications of Statistical Sciences Weather/regional climate modeling and monitoring Marines and Ocean Sciences Applied & financial mathematics Encourage cross-disciplinary and collaborative research
PAMS Strategy Compete for the best faculty candidates • Attempt to Make Teaching Load Competitive • Provide Competitive Start-ups • Emphasis on Diversity Take Risks in Renting/Renovating Spaces Aggressive growth of Graduate Students Openness to opportunity
PAMS-Major Challenges Severe Budgetary Constraints/Deficit Severe Space Shortage/Extraordinary Rental Costs Non-Competitive Teaching Load of Departments National Science and Engineering Enrollment Trends Federal Deficit Issues/Impact on Science Funding
