Research Development Officers

A team of faculty members - at least one per college plus additional faculty as needed – are selected by their deans to serve as Research Development Officers (RDO). These faculty members have an interest in and desire to learn about disciplines other than their own. They work with the Office of Proposal Development to promote research and sponsored programs activity at Appalachian through education and communication, facilitation of collaboration across departments and colleges and institutions, and assistance with proposal/project development.
