Research Advisory Councils
The Research Advisory Councils advise the dean of the College and the associate dean for research and operations on ways to enhance the research profile of the College. It reviews the current procedures in place that are related to research and gives input on how they can be improved; suggests and discusses other initiatives that can be added to help reach the goals of the VCU Research Strategic Priorities Plan; and assists with the review of internal funding allocations, such as the Dean's Research and Dean's Teaching Grants.
