Research Council meets 7-8 times a year for less than 2 hours. Any effort expended beyond that is voluntary and focused on a specific task.

The mission of the Research Council is to promote research at the University and so advise in diverse areas as it pertains to the research enterprise.

Be prepared to engage in critical discussions on current and future viability of research enterprise on campus – both externally and internally funded research, with and without graduate student assistance. Expect to make some contributions to both research administration and research compliance discussions as needed.
