VICE PRESIDENT FOR RESEARCH
There’s never been a better time to be a researcher at the University of Georgia. Over the past five years, our research enterprise has grown by roughly a third, as our talented faculty have pushed the boundaries of knowledge and developed new technologies and innovations that have made the world a better place.
The UGA Office of Research exists to support these investigators in all they do for science, engineering and the humanities. We work in partnership with central administration, colleges and major centers and institutes to advance UGA research in all its myriad forms.
We assist with the hiring of research-intensive faculty, the development of research space, major equipment acquisitions and technology services, as well as the building of interdisciplinary research programs.
We connect faculty to research funding opportunities and help ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of research administration, as well as research integrity and safety.
We encourage innovation, entrepreneurship and technology-based economic development through technology transfer and business incubation. And we help spread the word about all of these accomplishments to audiences far and near.
Thank you for your interest in UGA research. Whether you’re already a researcher on a UGA campus looking for answers, or you think might enjoy working and creating new knowledge at the nation’s oldest public university, we’re here to help.
