Provide research development support and resources (e.g. pilot funding; editing and statistical support; internal/external critiques of drafts; lunch and learn sessions and training workshops; retreats; access to data and databases; Research Interest Groups;  and participation in school-wide training and development activities.  
  4. Continue to evaluate school-wide metrics of research success.
  5. Establish a Center for Outcomes Research as a School and University resource and as a recognized organizational unit eligible for federal funding.
