RESEARCH AFFAIRS COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM: IV – B

DATE: December 10, 2013

****************************************************************************** SUBJECT: 2020 Vision Tracking During the August 2013 Board of Regents meeting, the final retreat item highlighted specific action items assigned to the Board for moving the 2020 Vision: South Dakota Science & Innovation strategy forward. Page 49 of the 2020 Vision (see attachment I) articulated the proposed implementation plan for the strategy, and identified the agencies serving the primary responsibility for driving specific action items forward for the state. The SD REACH Committee is scheduled to hold its meeting on December 11, and in preparation for the event organizations/agencies have been asked to help compile a list of activities that have been undertaken to begin the implementation of the 2020 Vision since it was approved in June 2013.

A draft matrix (in its final form in Attachment II) was circulated to RAC representatives prior to submission on November 14, and the finalized report tracks the progress on specific action items across the three strategy areas: Ideas, Talent, Companies. Those activities undertaken since June by the SD BOR and its member institutions, along with specific outcomes are provided. Reports from all agencies/organizations will be compiled and distributed to REACH committee members at the December meeting, and incorporated into the annual report on the 2020 Vision. REACH committee members will be asked to use the report as the basis for a plan of action for the next six months.
