Major Avenues of Support

Research Advisory Council

The Research Advisory Council is here to support you in your scholarly and creative endeavors. RAC brings the primary research administrators from each UNCG academic unit together with representatives from our campus- wide centers and other groups crucial to the support of research activities, such as University Libraries and Information Technology Services. The council seeks to promote a positive research culture, expand research opportunities, and continually improve research administration. When you embark on a new scholarly or creative endeavor, contact your RAC representative for help developing a successful research strategy that best utilizes the infrastructure and support systems available at UNCG.

Centers and Institutes
