Office of Research
The Office of Research is dedicated to empowering researchers by providing tailored support for grant development, proposal writing, and securing external funding from prestigious agencies such as the NIH, NSF, and DOD. We enhance research capacity by offering access to advanced research facilities, state-of-the-art media production studios, and robust data analytics tools. Our team is committed to advancing research development through dynamic programming such as grant writing workshops, expert-led research talks, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. We actively engage students by connecting them with research opportunities, from assistantships to hands-on roles in faculty-led projects, ensuring they gain valuable research skills and experience. Our ultimate goal is to drive impactful research by collaborating with industry, community, and academic partners to transform research into tangible solutions that address critical challenges at local, national, and global levels.
