As such, we have set in motion a culture of inquiry amongst faculty and a strong interest in leadership to advance our positioning in the broader research landscape. Ultimately, we seek a visionary to translate our mission and expertise into a collaboratively-driven research agenda that will advance knowledge relative to community development, provide policy counsel and inform the academic and development community on best practices.

The Vice President and Chief Research Officer will serve as the authorized institutional official responsible for assuring academic integrity in research and compliance with federal, state and local regulations pertaining to research. Serving as a member of the Universitys Leadership Team, the Vice President and Chief Research Officer will establish the Universitys research strategic vision, goals and budgets and will represent the Universitys research interests to internal and external stakeholders.
