UC San Diego VC for Research Sandra Brown presents recommendations from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU’s) Public Impact-Focused Research (PIR) Initiative.
The PIR Initiative, underway for 18 months, is a strategic, transformative university movement with the intent of addressing societal problems beyond the reach of a single university-based research program. The initiative seeks to improve the health and well-being of society by advancing human knowledge through basic and applied research, and to provide a common framework and vernacular for communicating how APLU member institutions and their industry and community partners can embark upon solutions.
