Research Support Office

The School of Engineering Research Support Office is located in Centennial Engineering Center Room 2052.
What we do
The SoE Research Support Office (RSO) provides proposal support to faculty applying for large research grants, as well as financial and operational management assistance for Category 2 Centers.

This will allow for the School of Engineering to foster career growth for highly qualified and skilled project managers.
