Research Development
The mission of the Office of Research Development (ORD) is to promote, cultivate, and advocate for research and creative activity based on the academic community’s interests.
Our vision is to provide outstanding proposal development services and expertise in our areas to create a world-class customer experience to foster research and creative activity excellence across the Island University.
What We Do
Our office strives to support research and creative activity at all levels of development. We host multiple programs and opportunities for faculty and staff to enhance their work and grow as researchers. The Office of Research Development is able to work with a range of disciplines from all academic colleges at TAMU-CC.
To further our mission, we:
- Promote, cultivate, and advocate for research and creative activity
- Manage internal funding competitions
- Provide support in developing research- and creative activity-focused proposals
- Coordinate resources to strengthen proposals
- Assist with large team/collaborative proposal submissions
What We Offer
The Office of Research Development is dedicated to providing faculty and staff on campus with the tools to develop successful and competitive proposals. We also provide support in the form of funding opportunities and regular events highlighting faculty and researchers on campus.
If you are looking for support for programs and activities not related to research and creative activity, or you are submitting a proposal to a nonprofit foundation, please contact Kimberly Becerra (kimberly.becerra@tamucc.edu), the Executive Director of Development.
