Part B: Alignment with Mission, Expected Outcomes, and Strategy	
Provide a description of how the portfolio of intellectual contributions by faculty and by units within the school, where appropriate, align with mission, strategies, and expected outcomes. 	

The college’s mission states that its research ‘adds to knowledge, provides solutions to business challenges, and contributes to pedagogical advances’.  The college supports the mission’s focus on solving business solutions by targeting improved quality of its research and with a new focus on external grants focused on applied research.  It has also taken steps to provide additional resources and increased opportunities for faculty to collaborate and consider projects with broader social impact.  Strategic initiatives of the college include additional funding requests for graduate research assistants, data sets, and other research support requirements.

The college, in conjunction with the university, has added a dedicated research coordinator to identify targeted funded research opportunities for faculty including corporate projects and external grants from foundations and governmental entities.  

As a result of these efforts numerous improvements in research efforts identified by the college mission have been realized:

•	In 2016 the distribution of the college’s five-year intellectual contribution portfolio consisted of 70.5% applied, 18.5% basic and 11.0% pedagogical.  In 2021, the college’s five-year intellectual contribution portfolio consists of 80.0% applied, 14.6% basic and 5.4% pedagogical.  The high level of applied research demonstrates the applied focus of the college’s academic focus on experiential learning and solving business problems as specified in the college’s mission.  Similarly, each discipline mirrors the applied research emphasis targeted by the college.  

•	The percentage of participating faculty producing intellection contributions has increased from 84.0% in 2015 to 95.4% in 2021, and the percentage of FTE faculty contributions has increased from 78.5% to 89.8%

•	Peer reviewed journal articles research compose 18.3% and other peer reviewed IC’s are 26.8% with 45.1% of all research being peer reviewed.

•	The total number of all types of intellectual contributions has increased from 1,611 to 2,350, a 45.9 percent increase since the last report.  

Part C: Quality of Five-Year Portfolio of Intellectual Contributions	
Identify the qualitative and quantitative measures of quality used by the school and apply these measures to analyze and evaluate the portfolio of intellectual contributions.	
The McCoy College is dedicated to quality research.  To ensure journal quality, each department maintains an approved journal list based on discipline-specific criteria that include external ranking validation.  Additionally, as part of the college’s journal quality review process, the department lists are compared against Cabell’s list of Predatory Reports to ensure no overlap. 

Periodically, the college reviews the publication quality review process and is anticipating a review starting in Fall 2021.

The efforts of the college to improve the quality of faculty research have resulted in several points of recognition.

•	While the number of distinct peer reviewed journal articles decreased from the previous CIR, from 532 to 431, the quality of those published increased.  In 2015, 22% of peer reviewed journal articles were classified as A, whereas in 2021, 38% were classified as A.  Table 8-1 is available in Appendix B1.

•	Since August 2016 the McCoy College faculty have presented at 115 conferences and have received over 45 scholarly recognitions including 10 for best paper, four for outstanding paper, and seven for highly commended.

•	The college has been awarded a record 31 external grants for $4,909,521 and three Co-I grants for $2,781,781.

	

Part D: Impact of Intellectual Contributions	
(i)	Analyze the impact of the portfolio of intellectual contributions on the theory, practice, and/or teaching of business, including qualitative and quantitative evidence.
(ii)	Provide exemplars of the societal impact of the school’s intellectual contributions.

i)	As defined by the college’s mission and demonstrated by the efforts of the faculty, the applied focused research efforts have a positive societal impact.  These efforts have been recognized by the increased awarding of external grant proposals.  Over the last five years the college has been awarded $7,691,302.00.  The grants have been awarded to support small business development, pedagogical issues associated with STEM, data quality and security, and other applications.  Additionally, several faculty have been collaborators on grant efforts awarded outside of the college.  Examples include the development of a shared decision-making tool to prevent substance abuse ($999,300, National Institute of Health) and the use of motion capture technology to reduce musculoskeletal damage within the material handling industry ($200,000 Toyota Material Handling Group).

Dr. Raymond Fisk, Department of Marketing, founded the AMA Services Marketing Special Interest Group (SERVSIG) in 1993 to serve people worldwide who are interested in services research, and has served SERVSIG in many leadership roles.  As of June 2021, SERVIG has over 2000 members worldwide.  The American Marketing Association made him the Inaugural Recipient of the SIG Leadership Award in 2016. He received the Career Contributions to the Services Discipline Award from SERVSIG in 2005. In 2012, he received the Grönroos Service Research Award from the CERS Centre for Relationship Marketing and Service Management, Department of Marketing, Hanken School of Economics, Finland. In 2020 he was awarded the Steve Baron Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Service Community, Journal of Services Marketing.

Faculty have authored five books including:

       They have also authored 41 book chapters.

ii)	Dr. Li Feng, Department of Finance and Economics, examines education policy issues related to teachers such as the relationship between teacher quality (value-added) and student outcomes and is part of a $2.5 million National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education grant to support Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in an HSI.  Further, in September 2020, the National Science Foundation awarded Dr. Feng an additional $1.16 million grant for “Collaborative Research: Retention, Persistence, and Effectiveness of STEM Teachers in High-need School Districts—An Investigation of the NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship.”  

Dr. Tahir Ekin, Department of Computer Information Systems and Quantitative Methods, published the book Statistics and Health Care Fraud: How to Save Billions in 2019.  The book informs the public through discussions of real-world health care examples and fraud assessment applications. Dr. Ekin presents statistical and analytical methods used in health care fraud audits without requiring any mathematical background.  In his research, Dr. Ekin focuses primarily on Medicare and Medicaid claims. Dr. Ekin posits that waste and fraud not only costs tax payers money, but also erodes public confidence in the system and diverts resources from people who need care.

The McCoy College business law faculty help to shape legal jurisprudence, and in turn, the regulatory environment of business. For example, Dr. Marc McAllister, Department of Finance and economics, has had his publications cited by the highest courts of Wisconsin, Iowa, and Texas, and by the Ninth and Sixth circuit courts of appeals. He has also been cited in briefing to the United States Supreme Court (Carruthers v. Warden).  Dr. Alexis Stokes, Department of Finance and Economics, has had her work on abusive short selling cited in the United States Supreme Court briefing (Merrill Lynch v. Manning) and was extensively quoted by the Utah Supreme Court in Raser Techs v. Morgan Stanley.

Dr. Ivilina Popova, Department of Finance and Economics, was invited by the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy and the Department of Energy to give a workshop on Financial Metrics Useful for Grid Management and Introduction to Hedging in the Grid Space in 2019.

Research by Dr. Nate Cannon, Department of Accounting, and his coauthors have had the opportunity to travel to D.C. to meet and share their results with the SEC and PCAOB (the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which Cannon refers to as “the auditors’ auditor”). The PCAOB has cited Cannon’s research to support important regulatory reforms in recent years.
