Who We Are

The Research Support Council (RSC) is the research administration staff component of the Vice Chancellor’s research committees. Representatives from Office of Research and Innovation’s SPARCS, Finance’s Contracts and Grants, college research offices, departments, and centers and institutes communicate and clarify external and internal research policy and work to address research education needs. The RSC meets bi-monthly and is led by an Executive Committee, which meets on the alternate months.

The RSC Executive Committee

The RSC Executive Committee leads the RSC full membership by setting agendas for meetings and presenting informative and beneficial topics for our membership. We strive to promote excellence in our profession and advocate for and provide input to Research Administration across campus. In addition, we work to solve systemic customer service problems and establish and implement methods/procedures to overcome industry-specific hurdles. The committee implements and continually assesses faculty and staff training efforts.
