Faculty Handbook
7.5.22 University Research Council
The University Research Council formulates and recommends policies governing research administration at Appalachian State University to the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research. The council will also: seek and recommend ways to secure internal and external financial support for faculty engaged in research and creative activities; work to create an environment (e.g., reduced teaching load, recognition of work done, etc.) in which the faculty may be encouraged to do research within their specialties; support faculty publications; and develop and recommend University policy related to such research issues as the use of human subjects, care and protection of research animals, and scholarly ethics. Specific duties may include: serve as liaison between Graduate Studies and Research and the academic colleges/schools for the purpose of encouraging research and grants activity; recommend the University's competitive research awards (elected members of the council will serve as the committee to recommend these awards to the full council); review and monitor as needed research involving human and animal subjects, as well as scholarly ethics; insure that University research policy is consistent with state and federal regulations; and develop incentive programs for research and grants activity. (Dean of Graduate Studies and Research).
