Revised Visiting Researcher and Scholar Procedure

A new hosting procedure for visiting researchers and scholars makes hosting and onboarding process easier — for the visitor, faculty sponsor, the hosting unit and OVPR.

The Office of the Vice President for Research recently implemented a new hosting procedure for visiting researchers and scholars. Refined guidelines, procedures and questionnaire are now posted on the OVPR website to make the hosting and onboarding process easier for the visitor, Faculty Sponsor, the hosting unit and OVPR.

Changes include:

  • A more refined definition of the Visiting Researcher/Scholar status so a Faculty Sponsor and unit can more easily determine which visitors should go through the hosting process.
  • A revised VRS questionnaire that will aid in a quicker review.
  • A revised and streamlined hosting procedure initiated by the Faculty Sponsor.

Please always check the VRS webpage for the most up-to-date information.
