MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER
Vith an emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration and support
' for faculty research and enterprise, UNT is creating a culture of
innovation that will prepare students to thrive in a changing world.
After a record-setting year in funding and license revenue, I'm proud to say
that more faculty than ever are engaged in funded research, and collaborations
with national laboratories and industry are on the rise. In 2019, our faculty filed
44 disclosures of inventions and intellectual property with commercial potential,
compared to seven in 2015.
Forward-thinking interdisciplinary research is fueling our innovation, as
evidenced by the 14% increase in grant submissions we've seen over the past year.
This comes as no surprise to our industrious faculty, who have taken advantage of
our new grantsmanship workshops, Washington D.C. Faculty Research Fellows
program and streamlined proposal processes to bring their solutions-based
research to industry and the marketplace. And this spring, UNT was designated
a Minority-Serving Institution as well as one of just 16 Carnegie-ranked Tier
One research universities designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution, and we are
committed to cultivating a research community that reflects our values.
In spite of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 crisis, we've made great
strides toward our goals. We are building the Center for Agile and Adaptive
Additive Manufacturing, thanks to $10 million in funding from the last Texas
Legislative session (page 22). Meanwhile, our new initiatives such the Center for
Integrated Intelligent Mobility Systems (page 12) and the Center for Racial and
Ethnic Equity in Health and Society (page 40) are seeing unprecedented cross-
disciplinary participation from our innovative faculty and student researchers. I
look forward to the coming year as they continue to set their sights beyond the
labs, changing the world and reinforcing UNT's reputation as a world-class Tier
One research university.
