Title: <strong>The</strong> Invisible Cartology <strong>of</strong> Culture: <strong>The</strong> Challenge <strong>of</strong><br />

Cultural Paradigms in the Development <strong>of</strong> International<br />

Medical Research and Healthcare Policy<br />

Proposal Summary:<br />

In the last ten years, research administrators have become part <strong>of</strong> leadership efforts in the formulation<br />

<strong>of</strong> policy and strategic planning for the types <strong>of</strong> research various institutions perform. One<br />

important means by which research administrators enrich institutions in this regard is providing<br />

clarity to the way that human beings process the information and experience about the human<br />

condition which research is meant to assist. Research administrators make an enormous impact<br />

when they assist institutions in understanding the forces <strong>of</strong> change that require new solutions for<br />

the quality <strong>of</strong> human life. This future paper will begin with a discussion on the “knowledge-matrix”<br />

that humans form by which to create a reference-grid for processing experience in culture.<br />

<strong>The</strong> paper will then discuss paradigmatic shifts as essential to successful, ongoing policy development.<br />

<strong>The</strong> paper will shift to a case study <strong>of</strong> policy analysis assistance for the Department <strong>of</strong><br />

Defense Global Emerging Infections Systems Response Program. <strong>The</strong> paper will conclude with a<br />

final section elaborating upon the need for agencies to collaborate with one another in regular and<br />

intense fashion so as to share with each other aspects <strong>of</strong> research/healthcare policy analysis that<br />

transcend paradigms and make for more effective human services. <strong>The</strong> principal author welcomes<br />

comment and insight from research administration colleagues.<br />
