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.

Research Administration Retreat

The Office of Research and Innovation and the Research Support Council Executive Committee are excited to invite members of the Research Support Council to the 2019 Research Administration Retreat. This full-day event will include various opportunities for professional development, team building and networking with your fellow Research Administration colleagues as well as a keynote presentation from a National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) representative.
