Strategic Planning & Institutional Analysis


The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
Strategic Directions 2007-2013

Strategic Direction 3
Create and evaluate new knowledge—through basic science and applied research—as it relates to disease prevention, treatment and cure

Objective 2
Progressively increase research output

UTHSC-H leadership expects, at a minimum, to: increase per capita research activity, grow the number of peer-reviewed papers, and make strategic gains against our competitors.

  • Given the flattening of NIH-funded research support and the health science center’s reliance on NIH grants, research funding for current faculty members should at least track to the annual rate of change in the NIH budget (FY 06: $28.4 billion; 0.3% decrease from FY 05).
  • Newly recruited faculty must add to the research productivity after a reasonable lag time (3 years) for start-up.
  • Determine, on a school-by-school basis, an appropriate percentage of faculty salaries to be funded from grants. Develop a plan to meet that percentage within a reasonable time frame.
  • Any increases in faculty should result in a UTHSC-H rate of growth in research expenditures that is double or triple the NIH growth rate by the latter years of this plan.
