Valuing Our Own is a three-year program under “Support for Outstanding Research” that provides an annual return of 3% of the indirect cost (IDC) recovery from sponsored research expenditures to a faculty’s research discretionary account. Support for Outstanding Research, also known as SOAR, is a strategic investment fund that is jointly managed by the Medical School department chairs and Medical School Office of Research. It provides a framework for multi-year, strategic investment for the research enterprise beyond the scope that can be achieved alone by either central administration or individual department investments. Valuing Our Own is also a “Great Minds, Greater Discoveries” program.
