  2. PAMS Research Agenda Departments Chemistry Marine, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Mathematics Physics Statistics* *Split with CALS about 85% of State Budget in PAMS

  3. PAMS Research Agenda Currently 187 Tenure/Tenure Track Faculty (Including 7 Administrators with assignments outside home departments and all of Statistics Faculty) PAMS has about 12 % of university total faculty.

  4. Teaching & Education Contributions* • PAMS Teaches about 23% of all Credit Hours • PAMS’ is second only to COM in teaching load per faculty • PAMS has 835 Undergraduate Majors (+144 double) • PAMS has 685 Graduate Students (about 11% of total) • PAMS has 481 Doctoral Students (about 20% of total) *Fall 2004 data

  5. Graduate Student Growth Trends* Summary Total MS Doctoral • University 1998 5100 3117 1966 2004 5968 3497 2474 %Change 17.0% 12.2% 25.9% • PAMS 1998 576 246 330 2004 685 204 481 %Change 18.9% -13.0% 45.8% *Comparing enrollments of F1998 & F2004 data, majors only; excludes LLE and DVM

  6. % PAMS Faculty with Funding (FY 2003-04) • Chemistry 20/31 funded = 64.5% • MEAS 33/35 funding = 94% • Math: 32/60 funded = 53.3% • Physics 32/36 funded = 88.9% • Statistics: 19/31 funded = 61.3 % • Total: 137/191 funded = 71.7%

  7. Funding TrendsTotal New Awards by PAMS Departments in FY 03-04 • Department Amount # Awards Chemistry: $5,307,916 60  • MEAS: $6,185,643 81  • Mathematics: $3,058,455 49  • Physics: $7,874,902 88  • Statistics (PAMS): $3,038,710 67  • PAMS Total $25,465,626 345  • Statistics (CALS): $2,085,995 13 • (University Totals = $213M, Sum of College Totals = $167M)

  8. Funding TrendsTotal New Awards by PAMS Departments in FY 04-05(Through 1/30/05) • Department Amount # Awards • Chemistry: $4,702,731 23  • MEAS: $5,336,811 60  • Mathematics: $3,308,002 30   • Physics: $5,527,683 53 • Statistics (PAMS): $2,685,116 33  • PAMS Total $21,620,324 200  • Statistics (CALS): $1,303,777 3 • (University Totals = $121M, Sum of College Totals = $108M)

  9. Funding TrendsTotal New Awards in PAMS/University (Millions) Year PAMS College Totals % PAMS 91-92 9.5 87.5 10.8% 95-96 14.6 107.5 13.6% 99-00 20.2 135.2 14.8% 03-04 25.5 167 15.2% 04-05 (1/30/05) 21.6 108 20%

  10. Funding TrendsFunding Characteristics in PAMS About 85 % Federal (Compared to about 60% across NCSU) PAMS Generates over 18% of NCSU’s F&A* *(FY 03-04 Data)

  11. PAMS Strategy • Identify& Develop Important Science Areas Build on strength materials sciences; Interface between phys/bio; High performance computing; Nuclear Physics; Innovation in Education Research and Teaching

  12. PAMS Strategy • Identify & Develop Important Science Areas (Cont.) Bioinformatics Broad Applications of Statistical Sciences Weather/regional climate modeling and monitoring Marines and Ocean Sciences Applied & financial mathematics Encourage cross-disciplinary and collaborative research

  13. PAMS Strategy Compete for the best faculty candidates • Attempt to Make Teaching Load Competitive • Provide Competitive Start-ups • Emphasis on Diversity Take Risks in Renting/Renovating Spaces Aggressive growth of Graduate Students Openness to opportunity

  14. PAMS-Major Challenges Severe Budgetary Constraints/Deficit Severe Space Shortage/Extraordinary Rental Costs Non-Competitive Teaching Load of Departments National Science and Engineering Enrollment Trends Federal Deficit Issues/Impact on Science Funding
