Research is a vital and integral part of the university’s mission. The Office of Research Administration supports the research mission through providing services to locate funding, coordinate proposal development and work with faculty to develop relationships and collaborative networks in research. The university is experiencing record highs in both the number and amount of research programs supported by our external sponsors.
