Syracuse University coordinates research development across multiple units on campus through the Syracuse University Research Development Team (SU RD Team). This includes representatives from the central Office of Research; seven of the eleven degree-granting schools and colleges; an interdisciplinary research center; and other centralized administrative units as liaison members. The SU RD Team maintains close working relationships to support research across campus.
If you have questions about support, you may contact the team members in your school or college, or in the Office of Research.
