University Research Advisory Committee (U-RAC) formed

The Office of Research is excited to share an update on our research administration transformation, specifically around the newly formed University Research Advisory Committee, the progress we’ve already made, and what’s to come.

U-RAC has officially kicked off

We have formally established and launched the University Research Advisory Committee, or U-RAC. This group provides a structured, cross-campus forum to help guide this work and ensure it reflects the needs and realities of our research community.

U-RAC brings together broad representation across campus, including:

• Faculty active in research

• Center and institute directors

• Associate Deans for Research

• Academic Affairs and research administration partners

This structure supports alignment across colleges, functions, and the full research lifecycle. View the committee members here.
