Research Advisory Board

The Research Advisory Board is the faculty advisory committee that counsels the Vice President for Research, and his executive staff, regarding research policies, procedures, and initiatives. The Research Advisory Board collaborates and works in unison with several University offices and governing bodies in order to enact the best possible research policies and procedures at all levels. The Board's membership represents the wide range of research fields throughout the University and meets once a month during the academic year.

If you have issues, agenda items, and or concerns to be addressed to the Research Advisory Board, please contact Beth Hurt, Director of Finance and Administration, in the Office of the Vice President for Research.
