Research Leadership
FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT
At the University of Delaware, research never stops. Curiosity, and the desire to make a positive impact on the world, continually drive us forward. Our faculty and students are making important discoveries as they work in well-equipped facilities and at field sites in Delaware and around the globe. During the past decade, external funding for UD research has steadily increased and now exceeds $237 million a year.
The Research Office serves as an advocate for UD faculty and scholars as they pursue research sponsored by governmental and non-governmental agencies and develop new innovations. Our staff help ensure compliance with all policies and procedures associated with the responsible conduct of research, foster the transfer of inventions and technologies into commercially marketable products, and assist in communicating UD research achievements to the public we serve.
