Growing Research at the Medical College of Georgia:

A Five Year Strategic Plan

Developed by the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC)
February 18, 2000

This report is a plan for research development for all of the Medical College of Georgia (Schools of Allied Health, Dentistry, Medicine and Nursing). This is a “work in progress” that will be reviewed each year. Adjustments will then be made to the ten individual strategic plans that comprise this report.  The Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) met twice each month for the past six months and developed a strategic plan for growth of research at MCG.  This plan was based largely on a SWOT (“strengths,” “weaknesses,” “opportunities,” and “threats”) analysis.
