Слайд 8

What is Applied Research?
What is a good definition of Applied

Research?
Wikipedia – “involves the practical application of science”; “deals with solving practical problems”; and “resides in the messy real world”
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's ELSI in Science:
“Applied research is designed to solve practical problems of the modern world, rather than to acquire knowledge for knowledge's sake. One might say that the goal of the applied scientist is to improve the human condition ”.
http://www.lbl.gov/Education/ELSI/research-main.html

Слайд 9

What is Applied Research?
What is a good definition of Applied

Research?
Wisegeek.com:
Applied research is: “any fact gathering project that is conducted with an eye to acquiring and applying knowledge that will address a specific problem or meet a specific need”
All definitions focus on the solving of specific/practical problems

Слайд 10

What is Applied Research?
Applied Research (Colleges) vs. Basic Research (Universities)
Problem

solving (Focusing on the HOW not the WHY)
Shorter-term projects
Applying knowledge and testing to previous research
Basic research lays the foundation for applied research
Focus on work of students and instructors
Engage on a project basis
Incorporate into co-op work terms or
projects for coursework

Слайд 11

College-based applied research
Applied vs. basic research
Intellectual property - few to no

patents
- commercial rights routinely assigned to industry partner
- research and education rights retained by RRC

Слайд 12

What is Applied Research?
The line is blurring
Perhaps good question to

ask: “How long will it be before some practical application results from the research ?“
The longer the timeline, the more likely it is BASIC research

Слайд 13

What is Applied Research?
Basic university research may involve the discovery

of a new rubber compound formulation for use in automobile tires that is thought to improve durability and performance in all seasons

Applied college research may involve driving automobiles outfitted with tires of the new rubber formulation and evaluating the durability and performance – i.e. measuring tread wear, stopping distance on ice

An example…

Слайд 14

What is Applied Research?
Basic university research may involve the discovery

of compounds in flaxseed that have disease-prevention properties

Applied college research may involve taking the flaxseed or its compounds and incorporating into a palatable food item(s)

Another example…

Слайд 15

What is Applied Research?
What defines a “researcher”? Who can do

applied research?
“Someone who studies (something) thoroughly so as to present findings in a detailed, accurate manner”
In an applied research context - Do we all deal with practical “real world” problems everyday? Absolutely!
Not limited to persons with advanced degrees
Is it for everyone? Not necessarily…

Слайд 16

What is Applied Research?
The applied research process
AR&C assists through the

entire process
Association of Canadian Community Colleges has developed an applied research workflow
AR&C developing its own “how to” module (to be discussed at end)

Слайд 17

What is Applied Research?

Слайд 18

What is Applied Research?

Слайд 19

What is Applied Research?

Слайд 20

What is Applied Research?
Why are colleges doing it?
Strong relationships between

colleges & industry/community
College graduates play a critical role in incremental innovation
Increased federal government investment
More opportunities for staff and students
Increased awareness of capabilities
Future trends: population growth, energy usage, pollution – shift from focus on new product creation to finding solutions for using the planet’s resources in a sustainable manner

Слайд 21

What is Applied Research?
Roles of universities and colleges in the

research process

Слайд 22

What is Applied Research?
Fast facts - Association of Canadian Community

Colleges (ACCC)
Over 100 colleges and institutes across Canada are engaged in applied research
4,444 companies partnered with colleges for applied research projects, 4,380 for industry research and 64 for social innovation research
447 areas of research specialization and 305 specialized research centres and labs support innovation in all sectors of the economy

Слайд 23

What is Applied Research?
Fast facts - Association of Canadian Community

Colleges (ACCC)
13,585 students engaged in applied research in 2010-11, up by 63 percent from 2009-10
1,606 faculty and staff, including industrial experts and technicians, engaged in research, up by 34 percent from 2009-10
Private sector investment in Canada’s colleges increased by 13 percent in the last year to $50.3 million

Слайд 24

What is Applied Research?

What is Applied Research?
RRC’s Mission
“The College’s applied research mission is

to assume a leading role in the application of knowledge through directed applied research in specific areas of expertise, to enhance the connectivity between College expertise and the needs of industry, and to create an institutional climate of support for applied research. By adding applied research projects to the curriculum, the college will educate the next generation of applied researchers, equipping them to assume leadership roles in their respective fields.”
