At Sacramento State, faculty and students engage in research, creative and scholarly activity in addition to pursuing a range of initiatives which meld pedagogy and discovery. In Research Administration and Contract Administration, we work to support faculty research and expand the range of opportunities for faculty and students seeking external support for their research and scholarly activities.
Research Administration and Contract Administration provides a broad range of support, coordination, and outreach services related to funded research grants and contracts. We submit research and grant proposals on behalf of Sacramento State faculty for external funding, and we accept and administer the research awards and contracts that result from those proposals and related activity. Research Administration also facilitates the Institutional Review Board (IRB), comprised of faculty committees which oversee the protection of human subjects and regulate animal care reviews. The office also coordinates the selection and award of research and creative activity funds allocated by the campus in support of faculty initiatives.
The structure of Research Administration and Contract Administration is the result of a creative partnership between Academic Affairs and University Enterprises, Inc. (UEI), the primary campus auxiliary, in which Academic Affairs provides support to scholarly and creative activities, and UEI accepts and administers the awarded grants and contracts. University and UEI professionals work side-by-side in support of the intellectual and programmatic initiatives of faculty, staff, and students on our campus. We also serve a critical role as liaisons with local, state, and federal funding agencies and other organizations which support and encourage the intellectual, creative, and service activities of our great University.
