This may be construed as having both a positive effect in the sense of gaining valuable experience and a network of contacts , as well as a negative one , since the authority of the host country in deciding its own priorities has been reduced . During the 2004-2005 academic year , Phipps ’ priorities have included : continuing to articulate and nurture the mission and identity of the college and to promote Messiah locally , regionally and nationally ; providing leadership to the college ’ s governing council and to the development of an annual operating plan that defines the 2004-05 institutional goals and priorities as outlined in the college 's Centennial Plan ; promoting effective institutional budgeting and planning ; assisting with the completion of Messiah ’ s current comprehensive $ 50 million campaign ; providing leadership to the search for a college pastor ; and developing strategic internal and external communications planning for the college . The self-study phase sets the agenda and establishes the unit 's responsibility for its own planning and goal setting within the context of college and University priorities . In terms of R & D priorities , our fiscal 2006 investments are focused on the above-mentioned new applications for DNA sequencing , next-generation real-time PCR platforms spanning the spectrum of price and performance , and new application solutions for the applied markets .
