About Us

R&GE Team PhotoResearch and graduate studies are inextricably linked, which is why our office has personnel monitoring the many pieces that keep our research engine going. Our office is organized around three important functions: Pre-Award Administration, Post-Award Administration, and Graduate Education. We provide proposal research and development, financial guidance, administrative oversight, and other research administration support services to faculty, staff, and students who pursue and receive grant and contract awards.

We help CFAES pursue grants to enhance teaching, research and public service. Listed below are some of the services available in our office:

  • Prospect Research - provide assistance in searching for potential external funding opportunities
