As part of its mission in public affairs and the emphasis on using research as one means whereby we can expand the future of the university, Missouri State has as one of it goals the "incubating of new ideas".

The University seeks to develop and emphasize three interrelated strategies to accomplish the goal of incubating new ideas: *

• It will follow a blueprint for its scholarly futures, involving the strategic expansion of its research efforts in areas judged to hold special promise for the institution;
• It will develop its research infrastructure especially in the areas of human resources, physical facilities, and research policies and procedures; and
• It will mature its graduate and professional programs in areas of greatest need and opportunity.
