Strategies to Attract External Superstars

Recruiting top research and faculty talent can expedite expenditure growth and boost an institution’s reputation. However, it’s often prohibitively expensive and when done poorly, can create a toxic culture among existing faculty. Investing in developing stars helps grow an institution’s research “base” and network of collaborators needed to attract other stars. But, it doesn’t always yield desired growth goals and rising stars often get “poached” by other better-resourced schools.

To grow research expenditures quickly, significantly, and sustainably, institutions must both attract external superstars and cultivate existing faculty.

In this special two-part series for Provosts and Vice Presidents of Research, join EAB experts to learn about major trends in research funding, greater competition for grants, and common barriers to successfully attract and develop superstar researchers. Participants will leave both sessions with practical strategies to tackle the challenges of recruiting and cultivating top talent.

The first session will focus on strategies to attract external superstars to grow research expenditures, outlining four lessons to help identify, fund, and pitch to these stars.

Learn more about the investments institutions must make to develop existing faculty and build a pipeline of future stars for sustained growth in Part Two of the series here.
