Office of Research

The mission of the Office of Research is to support, advocate and stimulate research at UM-Dearborn.

The Office of Research supports the efforts of the faculty and researchers of the University of Michigan- Dearborn in seeking, securing, and carrying out research projects and collaborative efforts. The Research Development and Research Administration team members provide professional expertise, excellence in service, and guidance to all campus units in the process of applying for external funding.
