| The Paper And Plastics Education Research (PAPER)
Institute’s mission is to encourage and support
the University of North Florida Coggin College of
Business faculty in their research, education, and
development endeavors that integrate academic pursuits
relevant to the National Paper Trade Alliance (NPTA)
and its membership. Research, education, and development
topic selections are made in consultation with the
leadership of the PAPER Foundation to assure topic
relevance to the industry. |
| |
| The PAPER Institute engages in the following activities: |
| 1. |
Conducts research,
education, and development activities based on
proposals solicited from the faculty and developed
by the Institute’s director. Faculty proposals
must follow the guidelines established by the PAPER
Institute. Research is sought from faculty with
diverse backgrounds and interests that lead to
diverse outcomes. It is expected that the PAPER
Institute endeavors will lead to professional development
workshops, and a combination of applied, basic,
and educational research products. The PAPER Institute’s
director is the official project director of all
PAPER Institute projects. |
| 2. |
Research, education, and development
activities are funded to the limit of the endowment
income dedicated to such activities and on a merit
basis with the relevance to NPTA and its membership
always being of prime consideration. If at any
time fundable proposals are lacking from within
the Coggin community, the Institute’s director
will solicit proposals from other State of Florida
public universities. Faculty stipends for PAPER
Institute participation will be paid upon completion
of the associated project. |
| 3. |
As the liaison for the University
of North Florida, the PAPER Institute’s director
will communicate on a regular basis with PAPER
Foundation leadership, and attend NPTA and PAPER
Foundation meetings to facilitate the communication
of mutual needs and plans. |
| 4. |
The PAPER Institute director
will build alliances with other research centers,
institutions, and organizations that engage in
distribution research or research that may be relevant
to NPTA and its membership. |
