Mission Statement

The mission of the Office of Research and External Funding is to establish and maintain the infrastructure to help every Eccles faculty member succeed in identifying, pursuing, winning and managing research grants.

Goals

Increase Grant Applications

  • Interface with the Office of Sponsored Programs
  • Support the identification, pursuit, and submission of research grants and contracts
  • Oversee the development and efficient management of the research laboratories, and the common participant pool, including the use of behavioral research funds to stimulate additional intramural and extramural funding pursuits
  • Help with the design of faculty and graduate students’ incentives for grant submissions and more importantly for successful funding

Campus Interconnectivity

  • We seek to increase the amount of deliberation that occurs between research with the Eccles School of Business and other campus departments.

Centralize

  • We seek to centralize the process of funding. By bringing all resources to one location and office, we hope to make things simpler for both the faculty doing the research, and the staff supporting them. This also increases the ease of applying for grants.
