Top Tier Initiative Action Item Report Pathway Goal: Community Partnerships Action Item # Report: 1-16 ☐ Mid-Year: December 2016 ☒ Year-End: April 2017 (Updated 7/20/17) Action Item Description: Partner with organizations to conduct research that addresses community problems. Submitted By: Name Department Sue DiBella Office of Community Engagement Working Group Members: Name Department David Paul Sponsored Programs Sue DiBella Office of Community Engagement Provide a written overview of the year-long process for your working group. This group has examined ways to report partnerships with agencies, sponsors, and other groups, including a list of sponsors, reported by OSP by 7-1-17; amount of research expenditures, tracked by OSP, reported annually; and inventory of UNLV engagement, collaborations, and partnerships in areas identified above, tracked by the Office of Community Engagement, reported annually. 2016-17 Accomplishments The group addressing this action item originally attempted to gain a list of Southern Nevada sponsors as one measurable outcome, but the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) cannot determine Southern Nevada locations from its sponsor database at this time. (WorkDay may provide greater functionality in this regard.) OSP requested that the measurable outcome be altered to “List of sponsors,” which is produced annually at the end of the fiscal year. The Office of Community Engagement (OCE) survey of the campus community asked respondents to provide partner contact info, including addresses, so it may provide some information on Southern Nevada sponsors and the nature of community problems addressed. Data from the survey will be available in June 2017; it will provide baseline data for an inventory of UNLV CMP 1-16 2016-17 Year-End Report 1 of 2 8/9/2017 Top Tier Initiative Action Item Report engagement, collaborations, and partnerships. A system to report the amount of research expenditures tracked by OSP and reported annually is in place. Recommendations The OCE and OSP should continue to work together to develop reports that will capture all data needed relative to sponsors and research revenues; OCE should continue to track engagement, collaborations, and partnerships. 2017-18 Next steps • What should the goals / activities be for the subcommittee? • Who should be responsible? OSP should produce reports relative to FY17 activity at the end of the fiscal year; OSP should explore utilizing Workday to expand its reporting capabilities once Workday is operational; and OCE should continue to produce reports based on the available data collected relative to engagement, collaborations, and partnerships.

Tier goals focuses on supporting, promoting, and facilitating community partnerships and engagement. To help advance this goal, the UNLV Office of Community Engagement has been established to help facilitate and track engagement efforts between the campus and community entities. To this end, it is important that we generate a baseline inventory of UNLV’s community engagement activities. To accomplish this, UNLV’s Office of Community Engagement partnered with the Cannon Survey Center to collect information from UNLV faculty and staff via an online survey. Participants were asked about their community engagement projects/activities, general questions about community engagement (such as guest speaking and perceived barriers to community engagement), and personal volunteering. The results of this survey will be used to help support, promote, and facilitate UNLV community engagement and to pursue the Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement. Data
