The Office of Research & Development and Innovation Services provides administrative support for research and innovation activities, including reviewing systems and procedures, monitoring performance, identifying funding opportunities, and assisting researchers with grant proposals and project management. It coordinates the development and implementation of CSU’s research policies, manuals, and work plans in collaboration with the VPRDIE, RDI Centers, TTLO, TBI, and other units. The Office also serves as Secretariat for the University Research, Development, Innovation, and Extension Council (URDIEC) and fosters a culture of collaboration by organizing workshops, seminars, and training, promoting interdisciplinary research, ensuring compliance with research standards, and managing the University’s participation in regional, national, and international research consortia.
