  3. Research Enterprise Alignment with OSU STRATEGIC PLAN – PHASE II 2009 -2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Phase II of Oregon State University's 2004 Strategic Plan for the 21st Century continues the University's ambitious drive to rank among the ten best Land Grant universities in the nation. This updated Plan builds on OSU's long tradition of excellence in education, research, and outreach – and on the significant progress arising from the initial Strategic Plan and the University's first university-wide capital campaign – to: Sustain and accelerate improvements in student learning and experience through creation of outstanding academic and student engagement programs; Align and strengthen innovative scholarly and research activities to continue discovering new products and technologies that generate economic activity; and Focus even more intently on enhancing OSU's ability to produce strategies and solutions for the most important – and intractable – issues facing Oregon, the nation, and the world. Phase II rests on an intensive focus on three Signature Areas of Distinction:Advancing the Science of Sustainable Earth Ecosystems; Improving Human Health and Wellness; and Promoting Economic Growth and Social Progress. All three build upon the University's core teaching and research strengths, the skill and capacities of its faculty, and OSU's many established national and international partnerships and collaborations. Collectively, the Signature Areas represent OSU's greatest opportunity to lead in solving complex societal problems, and to creating superior learning opportunities for students by: Improving the understanding of the earth ecosystems upon which all life depends, and promoting their sustainability through high-impact public policy involvement with issues such as climate change, food security and safety, renewable energy production, and economically viable natural resource management; Building more holistic and interdisciplinary approaches to healthy aging, chronic infectious disease control, new drug development, mental health, and disease prevention to enhance the human lifespan, decrease health care costs, and maintain a healthy population; Capitalizing on an expanding institutional culture of innovation and collaboration to discover and implement creative, economically powerful solutions to America's critical challenges through leadership in areas such as energy and clean technology, micro and nano technology, and natural resource product technology. The fundamental goals of the Strategic Plan –
