University Research Council

The University Research Council (URC) exists to support the promotion and development of research and other creative and scholarly activity at the University of the Incarnate Word. Its role is to advise the Provost and Dean of Research and Graduate Support regarding research development at the University. The council identifies the needs of the faculty, students and other researchers; analyzes services, policies and procedures that affect research; and makes recommendations that, in its view, will facilitate the research process and improve research productivity at the University. The URC is not a policy-making body, but rather a council established to develop recommendations to be passed on, through the Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, to the Dean's Council, the Faculty Senate and the Provost, with the ultimate goal of enabling the University to realize its potential for research and creative, scholarly activity.
