University-wide Research Council
The Research Council is a representative body that serves in an advisory role to the Vice Provost for Research, enabling connections between constituencies.
About
The University-wide Research Council is comprised of representatives from Schools, Centers, and key administrative offices. Its goal is to:
- open up new lines of communication to ensure broader input
- improve knowledge-sharing and deepen collaboration across departments, centers, schools and university units that contribute to the research enterprise at Tufts
- work together to improve research outcomes and conditions
The Council is a representative body that serves in an advisory role to the Vice Provost for Research, creating a two-way information circuit between the various constituencies.
University-wide Research Council convenes monthly.
