Research Development

The research development and support units of the Office of Research assist with sponsored program development and industry research and outreach. Many faculty members first come into contact with staff from the Office of Research at new faculty orientation or at some of the many presentations and workshops provided for faculty and graduate students on grantsmanship and proposal development. Faculty members also can work with research development staff members to identify external sources of funding as well as potential collaborative partners. The research development office maintains a library of sponsored program information and provides training in the use of funding databases.
