The Center for Research and Engagement coordinates the university's research work and connects inquiry with community needs.
From question to contribution
Faculty and student researchers can work through the university's structures for planning, review, sharing results, and building partnerships.
Research development
Research begins with a relevant question, a clear proposal, and a sound method. CRE supports researchers as they develop work within university priorities and disciplinary standards.
Ethical practice
Projects involving people or communities require careful review of consent, privacy, and participant welfare. Use the current CRE guidance for submission and review procedures.
Publication and knowledge sharing
USLS supports dissemination through research publications, presentations, and other avenues that make findings useful beyond the campus.
Engagement and partnerships
Research and extension connect the university with schools, organizations, and communities to address practical challenges.
