What is the Research Excellence and Innovation?
Research Excellence and Innovation provides administrative support for the research enterprise which is extensive, highly specialized, and diverse. REI works to ensure that faculty, staff, students, visitors and postdoctoral fellows embark upon and execute their research and partnership activities to the highest operational, financial, legal, ethical and safety standards. The office makes sure the institution develops and executes policies that ensure compliance to regulations set by external agencies and stakeholders, and that it leads in demonstrating the best practices of research administration.
