Mission: The Office of Research and Graduate Affairs administers the College’s research faculty and graduate training activities. This includes promoting research development, securing funding, and collaborating with units across campus. This office also oversees several of the College’s Master’s and PhD programs. The research program of the College is divided into two major components : an intramural program that includes the Veterinary Medical Experiment Station and Veterinary Medical Agricultural Research; and an extramural program comprised of a diverse group of federal (NIH, USDA, NSF) and private agencies. The office also provides support and resources for faculty via grant writing seminars, assistance with submitting grants, and other educational opportunities to advance the research enterprise of the College and individual faculty members.
