Faculty Research Council

Consisting of members appointed by President Cook in Fall 2022, the Faculty Research Council will create priorities for a new, modest internal funding program that will result in proposals reviewed by the Council. These efforts will support President Cook’s priority of maintaining our Carnegie R1 classification and helping nurture a thriving and mature R1 research culture on campus.

The group will work with other campus stakeholders in creating a long-term overall vision for the council. Nominees were solicited from Deans, Faculty Senate, and other campus stakeholders and will serve a one-year term.
