5. Office of the Vice President for Research N ORMAN C AMPUS AND N ORMAN C AMPUS P ROGRAMS AT OU-T ULSA Our Goal Via a Strategic Initiative in Defense, Security and Intelligence (DSI) Research, we seek to increase substantially OU’s success in basic research, applied development, consulting and training in areas for which we traditionally have not been a significant player, but for which considerable opportunity exists

6. Office of the Vice President for Research N ORMAN C AMPUS AND N ORMAN C AMPUS P ROGRAMS AT OU-T ULSA What We Hope to Achieve Greater involvement in activities that support our Nation’s security and enhance its capabilities Creation of a much broader opportunity space for faculty research and development, particularly in areas of application; More effective alignment between OU’s R&D portfolio and that of the Federal government, going well beyond agencies for which OU has traditionally received the bulk of its funding (e.g., NSF, NOAA, NIH); More effective translation of basic research outcomes into operational technologies and services for society, especially in areas of national interest, as well as new modalities of engagement with private industry; Considerable progression in OU’s administrative frameworks and business processes, leading not only to greater funding opportunities but also to options for driving necessary change in other areas; Increasing the value of OU to the State and Nation by expanding OU’s R&D portfolio and positioning it to take a leadership role in important priority areas Increase the opportunity and probability of success of attracting other Federal agencies to campus; Increased stature for the University as a comprehensive research institution

7. Office of the Vice President for Research N ORMAN C AMPUS AND N ORMAN C AMPUS P ROGRAMS AT OU-T ULSA Our Strategy Inventory our strengths and determine alignments with key agencies/companies to focus on deep engagements – and show success to build credibility and increase understanding Focus specifically on faculty who have the greatest potential for DSI engagement. Educate researchers about the differences between traditional (NSF, NOAA, NASA) research activities and those in the DSI space Support researchers in finding opportunities, meeting with program personnel, conveying their capabilities, developing white papers and proposals, executing projects, making their work known, obtaining positions on key advisory committees (driving the national agenda), and developing trust relationships so OU is known as an institution that delivers the goods Hire outstanding talent (faculty, students) who have requisite capabilities and can work on secure projects Bring on non-faculty researchers who can focus exclusively on DSI R&D Build awareness of OU’s capabilities and resources via presentations, booths at key shows/meetings, increased presence in regular and social media Engage expert consultants who can help make connections and guide our thinking Develop new facilities (e.g., SCIF) to support classified work Establish contract vehicles and internal support processes

8. Office of the Vice President for Research N ORMAN C AMPUS AND N ORMAN C AMPUS P ROGRAMS AT OU-T ULSA Execution of Strategy DSI effort started in 2010 with strong support from University leadership – Stewarded by Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier and Mr. Danny Hilliard – Engagement of Patton Boggs and Hyjek & Fix – Deep analysis of strengths and agency alignments – Identification of faculty and special orientation sessions – Search for DSI Director – Creation of Center for Applied R&D (CARD) In 2012, Dr. Robert Palmer joined the VPR Office and now stewards the DSI program, assisted by Dr. Mark Yeary, Senior Faculty Fellow and the entire OU DSI team – Opportunity capture, team assembly, agency visits, faculty education, etc External consulting team: Steptoe and Johnson, Van Scoyoc Assocites, Capitol Decisions OU team meets regularly and has bi-weekly conference calls with DC consultants
