The charge to the colleges is to develop 3-5 Signature Areas that:
•Capitalize on “rare” research strengths within the College
•Must contribute to University excellence
•Involve interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary strengths

Six possible Signature Areas were drafted by the College Research Roadmap Committee utilizing:
1) Exceptional Items defined by AgriLife Research for funding in the 82st session;
2) the AgriLife Research Science Roadmap (http://agriliferesearch.tamu.edu/about/scienceroadmap.php);
3) priority research areas identified on a national level in the NASULGIC and ESCOP Science Roadmap( http://www.csrees.usda.gov/business/reporting/stakeholder/pdfs/roadmap.pdf); and 4) faculty input.

•Fundamental Biology
•Food: Security, Safety, Nutrition and Health
•Prosperity of Agricultural Systems
•Healthy Ecosystems and Conservation of Natural Resources
•Bioenergy and Alternative Energy
•Communities, Families and Youth

The following matrix lists the cross-cutting relationships between College Signature Research Areas and White Papers submitted by faculty to the Provost's web site or that are in preparation by faculty groups.

The Academic Master Plan web page on the Provost web site gives the schedule, guidelines and template for preparing white papers.
