Strategic Research Initiatives
The Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI) team supports NDSU’s research mission by advancing strategic efforts that strengthen the university’s research enterprise. In collaboration with campus stakeholders, the team partners on high-impact initiatives aligned with institutional goals, providing expertise and specialized services to foster innovation, build capacity, and position NDSU for success in a competitive research landscape.
SRI provides proposal development support for large, collaborative, and multi-stakeholder submissions; research recognition and external faculty honors nomination support; programming in team science, research leadership and convergence; strategic deployment of department funding and resources; and assistance with federal relations that advance institutional research priorities. The team also supports undergraduate research through programs such as NDSU EXPLORE and Student Research Day.
