Missouri S&T Roadmap 2025
This document outlines Missouri S&T's 'Roadmap to R1' vision, a strategic initiative to achieve R1: Highest Research Activity university status. Key objectives include doubling annual research expenditures by 2025 and enhancing Missouri S&T's position as a leading public technological research university for discovery, creativity, and innovation. The strategy, developed through a faculty-inclusive 'Research Roadmap' process, focuses on strengthening eight 'research constellation' areas: Manufacturing, Infrastructure, Materials, Intelligent Systems, Bio-X, Data Science, Resources: Natural, Energy, Water, for Society (ReNEWS), and Training, STEM Education, and Workforce Development. The plan aims to significantly increase research expenditures, doctoral graduates, and non-tenure track research staff in both STEM and non-STEM disciplines.
