Overview
● How this started
● What NYU did
● What Berkeley did
● Some results and comparisons
● Lessons learning and next steps
In the next quarter century, there will be two to
three dozen truly great research universities in
the world. NYU... must secure its place in that
group... by building on its own unique strengths, assets, and ambitions.
Substantial Science/Research entities
Opened at NYU since 2006
Applied Sciences Initiative Competition
2 nd^ Award Made to NYU – April 23, 2012 - CUSP Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYU President John Sexton
NYU’s Applied Science Initiative - CUSP
“The most well-endowed and well-funded universities have an RC [research computing] structure that is complex, layerered and dynamic in meeting researchers’ needs as they arise.”
April 2012: Request by the Senior Vice Provost for Research
“Jointly with NYU Libraries, conduct a gap analysis of the IT-related services provided for researchers at those institutions from which faculty are likely to be recruited as part of the Science Initiative & from CUSP partner institutions; work with NYU research leadership to determine how best to address identified gaps”
