About Research Development

The Office of Research Development (RD) in the Division of Research & Innovation focuses on supporting and enhancing the institution's research activities. The RD team works to identify funding opportunities, assist faculty in developing competitive grant proposals, foster interdisciplinary collaborations, and coordinate and administer limited submission opportunities for external funding. We also provide resources and training to help researchers improve their grant-writing skills and navigate the complexities of securing external funding.
