Research Advisory Board

The Research Advisory Board (RAB) was initiated in December 2012. The overriding goal is to sharpen the UO’s focus on excellence in research and innovation, scholarship, and creative work across all divisions, schools, and colleges. The RAB’s mission is to inform and guide the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation on opportunities, challenges, and strategy related to all research, innovation, scholarship, and creative activities regardless of their funding status (unfunded, internally funded, and externally sponsored activities).

The RAB shall also be responsible for conducting reviews of proposed and existing OVPRI centers and institutes, as well as advising the VPRI on planning and engagement of researchers across the institution, including undergraduate research opportunities, activities to spur diversity, equity, and inclusion in research, and more.

Membership on the RAB is typically on a two-year basis and should reflect the diverse research and innovation efforts across the institution. At least one member of the RAB must be a non-tenure track research faculty appointment. The board typically meets twice quarterly throughout the academic year.

The VPRI appoints individuals to serve on the RAB. Individuals who wish to self-nominate for this committee may email vpri@uoregon.edu
