Vision- The Office of Research creates a culture of excellence in research and economic development for our students, faculty and staff.
Mission- The Office of Research leads the innovative planning for research and economic development to enhance the connection between students/faculty/staff, and community needs, at the regional, national and global levels.
Research- We provide support for faculty, staff, and student scholarship through offering connections to TAMU Sponsored Research Services for grant application assistance and the Texas Engineering Experiment Station for research collaboration, through oversight of human subject’s research through the Institutional Review Board, and through compliance and financial monitoring with the MAESTRO project management system. For faculty we provide funding for research and travel through the Faculty Scholarship and Research Committee, and we support student participation in state, TAMU system, and on-campus research presentations. We oversee the University Center for Applied Research and Engagement, which provides faculty and staff opportunities to work on research with local governments and nonprofit organizations and to mentor graduate and undergraduate students. Information is available through our office on the IRB, IACUC, IBC, FCOI, MAESTRO, SRS, UCARE, and FAQ support for research questions.
Economic Development- We provide support for programs at Texas A&M University-Central Texas that enhance economic development in the community (e.g., UCARE). Information is available for community links to government agencies, chambers of commerce, and economic development corporations.
