It is the mission of the Research Office to provide an environment that facilitates and stimulates University-related research, scholarship, and creative activities by: (1) providing leadership to identify and pursue promising research opportunities; (2) providing resources to help recruit and retain outstanding faculty and student scholars; (3) improving research support services that are highly responsive and efficient; (4) fostering a culture of academic research integrity that discloses and manages conflicts-of-interest and conflicts-of-commitment, and that is consistent with federal regulations; and (5) identifying, protecting, and, where appropriate, commercializing intellectual properties for the benefit of authors/inventors, the University, and society.

Office of Global Engagement
Utah State University’s Office of Global Engagement sees the world through the eyes of USU professors and students who are solving global challenges by empowering people in other countries to improve their communities and individual economic opportunities. This objective is accomplished through education, training, and research in areas ranging from water conservation, microfinancing, and ecology to training teachers, as well as through expanding opportunities for persons with disabilities. The Office of Global Engagement also manages USU’s Office of International Students, Scholars, and Study Abroad and operates under the auspices of the Office of the Provost and the Office of the Vice President for Research. USU is engaged as an active member of the global community, and USU’s goals are facilitated to encourage the efforts of faculty and students to be involved in research and education in the global setting, while increasing awareness of the global context.
Undergraduate Research Program
Established in 1975 as the second-oldest program in the country, Undergraduate Research supports students in meeting their academic and professional goals. Undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity offer Utah State University students unparalleled educational opportunities for hands-on learning, a hallmark of the institution. Students may begin a research track as early as their freshman year, preparing them to compete for prestigious scholarships, such as the Goldwater, Udall, and Rhodes, and for graduate studies. Undergraduate Research and Creative Opportunity (URCO) Grant competitions are held twice annually, in February and October. The Research Office also supports the annual “Research on the Hill” event at the State Capitol, as well as “Student Showcase,” the spring celebration of undergraduate research. In addition, students selected to present at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) or the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) “Posters on the Hill” competition are also supported. For support of other travel to professional conferences and meetings, the Associated Students of Utah State University (ASUSU) allocates money to eligible undergraduates through the Academic Opportunity Fund. |
