UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Education & Training 73 UTB/TSC’s Cross-Border Institute for Regional Development (UTB-CBIRD) The Cross-Border Institute for Regional Development (CBIRD) is a binational institute which promotes public-private partnerships for socio-economic development and a binational regional vision. In 1999 UTB/TSC was a founding partner in the creation of this binational collaborative initiative with the Instituto Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), the IC² Institute at The University of Texas at Austin, and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC). UTB-CBIRD is dedicated to being a positive catalyst to facilitate a working dialogue between academic, business, and government interests to accelerate regional and binational economic, educational, social, and cultural development. In addition to UTB-CBIRD, a CBIRD office has also been established at The University of Texas Pan American in Hidalgo County and at IC² Institute, The University of Texas at Austin. In Northeastern Mexico, two additional CBIRD offices are being formed: CBIRD-CODERT (Consejo para el Desarollo Regional Transfronterizo), Tamaulipas and CBIRD-ITESM (Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores, Monterrey). Together the four CBIRD entities will provide a binational network to help transform and diversify the economic and social conditions of the lower border region. These CBIRD entities also work with the Lower Rio Grande Valley CBIRD-TRAC (Texas Region Action Council) to better connect with communities and their organizations to network and talent and know-how – regionally and binationally -- to accelerate regional development. UTB-CBIRD works by: ⇒ Developing opportunities at the community level ⇒ Facilitating cross-border cooperation, collaboration and coordination ⇒ Bringing together government, business, academic, and philanthropic foundations as well as other non-government organizations with the common goal of developing the cross-border region. ⇒ Developing and reporting the metrics for benchmarking and progress assessment. (This report is an example of a UTB-CBIRD Benchmarking project). ⇒ Facilitating the development of civic and social entrepreneurship. ⇒ Providing technical assistance for expanding the internal capacity of UTB/TSC components to meet the educational and training needs of their clients. School of Public Health In partnership with UTB/TSC the Brownsville Regional Campus of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health, was officially dedicated, May 24, 2002. The UTB/TSC located facility offers a Masters of Public Health degree and is a division of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Regional Academic Health Center (RAHC) 1 . Interactive television classes network faculty and students from all five UT School of Public Health campuses located in El Paso, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston, in addition to Brownsville. The Brownsville Regional Campus is supported by a binational advisory committee and, the cross-border academic and medical communities are working together to develop leading-edge teaching and community-based research programs. 1 See Section 5 for a more complete descriptions of the RAHC.

UTB-CBIRD Report: “At The Crossroads” Education & Training 74 Public Health as a discipline focuses on promoting and preventing disease within and across communities and aims to provide unfettered access to quality healthcare, to educate and encourage healthy behavior, and to create healthy environments. Public Health is concerned with poverty, disease control, international health, substance abuse, and environmental issues -- all important concerns of the U.S.-Mexico Border Region. The Brownsville Campus focuses on problem oriented teaching and research in the following areas: ⇒ Community Health Practice ⇒ Disease Control ⇒ Health Promotion ⇒ Health Services Organization ⇒ International and Family Health ⇒ Occupational and Environmental Health UTB/TSC Research In 1988, Texas had two institutions listed among the top 40 in federal grants for science and engineering; California had seven such institutions. Nationally, at least ten institutions individually receive more intellectual property income --- income generated by research discoveries and applications – than is received by all Texas higher education institutions combined. Closing The Gaps by 2015 Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board October 2000 The UTB/TSC partnership established in 1992 has demonstrated the need for graduate education and as such has established two co-operative doctoral degrees in collaboration with other institutions. UTB/TSC has sought to attract a combination of local, foundation, state and federal funds needed to build graduate research programs to produce world-class research capable of winning multi-million dollar public and private grants. While Figure 4.23 indicates that UTB/TSC working with state the legislature and governors has achieved a combined increase of 129% in state appropriations during the past decade, these funds have served to grow the academic enterprise and have not addressed the institution’s research needs.
