Overview

Focus on research continuity planning at Stanford

Open discussion – we are in learning mode…let’s keep talking and collaborating

Research Continuity Planning Questions

What are the common challenges for universities?

What is unique to Stanford?

How is university research and laboratory planning the same or different from private industry?

What information and insights can we share with each other?

1906

The University was comprised of 42 buildings and arcades at the time, and President Jordan’s first hasty figure estimated the financial loss to be as high as $2.8 million. In a signed message the day after the quake, University President Jordan had boosted the estimate to $4 million.

1989

Seismic retrofits and upgrades before 1989 conceivably saved hundreds of lives

The 15-second quake damaged 242 Stanford buildings, 20 of which were closed

2nd Annual Bay Area Emergency Managers Conference

July 30, 2015 – Genentech Conference Center – South San Francisco, CA

Since 1989

Building performance goals: Protect life safety Secure critical infrastructure and

facilities Reduce interruption in teaching

and research programs

$300 million in construction costs over 10 years for seismic strengthening and retrofit

Retrofit and new construction – all buildings meet life safety or higher standards

Few university-wide adopted mandates

Stanford Administrative Guide

Guidelines unless there is a regulatory or compliance requirement

As a private institution, emergency planning standards are not formally required

The Wind of Freedom Blows

2nd Annual Bay Area Emergency Managers Conference

July 30, 2015 – Genentech Conference Center – South San Francisco, CA

Research budgets are for research, not continuity or resiliency planning

Innovation and a fast pace

Researcher autonomy

Multiple contact points to get things done – could be a lab manager, post-doc, grad students, or building manager

Strategic

Compliance

Reputational

With a 21.4 billion dollar endowment and self insurance, risk tolerance can be high

Interviews/Narratives We asked researchers: faculty, Principal Investigators

(PI’s) and post-docs:

Answers are different across disciplines, research

processes and even across generations Without a mandate and with faculty/PI autonomy this is

important

“What could you loose if your laboratory is

damaged and you don’t have access for several weeks

to months”

At what point would you be

unable to recover your research?

2nd Annual Bay Area Emergency Managers Conference

July 30, 2015 – Genentech Conference Center – South San Francisco, CA

Generational - Long time researcher

“It’s Stanford…we will be fine.”

“Just get me access to my lab and I will take care of the rest.”

“Researchers will take care of each other.”

“Stay out of the way and I can recover my research on my own.”

2nd Annual Bay Area Emergency Managers Conference

July 30, 2015 – Genentech Conference Center – South San Francisco, CA

Generational - New professor/researcher

“I’m not worried. I would just start over.”

“Most important is the effect on my students.”

“Stanford will pay for losses.”

Vulnerability is Process-Specific

Bio-processes – cells, cell lines, materials, biochemical processes

Robustness of cells, materials, animals

Decades of work (cell lines, animals)

Rooms/process areas (tissue culture, cold rooms, incubation) more important than a single equipment item

Or, physics – specialized, unique equipment and data security is important

Engineering – Physics – Chemistry – Medicine

Customize to researcher’s

concerns, lab type and processes

*10 years ago, faculty time was 30% on administrative tasks and 70% on research. Now, faculty spend 90% on administrative tasks and 10% on research. We can’t add another administrative task burden. Eliminate direct faculty effort and time.
