Research Excellence Programs

The primary function of Research Development is to assist faculty and professional staff to pursue their scholarly research and creative production activities. This is accomplished through various internal programs.

Research Development administers three grant programs to assist faculty in their research/creative production efforts. Applications are reviewed by the Research Excellence Committee (REC), which is composed of the last three years' recipients of the Rothberg Award and the New Faculty Achievement Award for Scholarship, and is chaired by the Director of Research Development.
