Research serves multiple purposes for the institutions that emphasize it: Research makes an impact on the communities the researchers study and serve, advances the breadth of human knowledge, and builds a reputation for the institution so that it can attract new students, faculty, and funding.
For these reasons, many higher-education institutions have made it their goal to attain R1 status from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
Researchers at universities can face several challenges though. And, in spite of their desires to support the research function, some institutions fail to address those challenges in impactful ways.
In this latest case study, read about how one institution turned an issue that its health researchers were encountering into a larger, university-wide initiative — and discover how that shift in its approach to research contributed to getting the coveted R1 status.
