Please take a few minutes to write down in the attached Word document (and return via email to me) your thoughts about types of research support you would like the college to provide. 

I’ve already solicited this information from faculty in a couple of departments (ILT and BBS, and EDP without the form), and will meet ELPS faculty next week to discuss. For the other departments I’ve not yet gotten word back of when a good time to visit your faculty meetings to discuss your ideas/needs, so I am requesting it now. We will need as much input as we can get before next week. 

Next week the Research and Development Committee will be discussing types of support faculty need, based largely on the COEHD 2019 White paper (based on 2018 data). Your voice, your needs may not have been included in that data collection, and a lot has changed at UTSA since then, so I wanted to ask for input regarding current perceptions of research needs for support.

Thank you. And please provide feedback by this Friday if you want to be part of the conversation next week.
