Research Study Group Gathering Input for Study of UNM Research

The Research Study Group (RSG) has been charged by the Provost to review and make recommendations for improvement of all aspects of main-campus research administration.

Professor Carlton Caves, Chair of the RSG, notes: "Our study is now entering an intensive phase of gathering input from main-campus researchers, research-support staff, and senior administrators. In addition, a team of four consultants from the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) is looking at UNM research administration from the perspective of national standards and best-business practices. The NCURA team should submit their final report by mid-May, and the RSG hopes to produce its final report by mid-June."
