Research Council

To stimulate research activities and analyze research services, the Division of Research has created the DoR Research Council (DRC). This council is charged to:

  • Participate in strategic planning that affects the University’s research profile
  • Advise on the formulation, review and application of policies and procedures for university research and its funding
  • Advise on developing methods for informing University members of research opportunities, and stimulating, evaluating and rewarding research excellence
  • Be a liaison to your college and provide a forum to which faculty and students may direct research related questions
  • Participate in the review of internal limited submission competitions and other seed funding opportunities
