The mission of the University Research Council is to stimulate, encourage, and support research across all segments of the University community. The URC is committed to a broad and inclusive definition of research, including both pure and applied research as well as scholarly creative endeavors.

Each year a limited amount of funds generated from the indirect / overhead funds from extramural grants and contracts are used to support faculty research activities with grant awards of up to $5,000. It is the responsibility of the University Research Council to solicit and evaluate research proposals from the faculty, and to make recommendations to the Dean and Chief Research Officer regarding the funding of the proposals.
