The Office of Research supports the WSU land-grant mission by partnering with the University community and other stakeholders to advance, extend, and apply knowledge across the full range of scholarly disciplines pursued at WSU. The Office of Research also serves the University community by supporting the research infrastructure needed for discovery to flourish and for researchers to collaborate effectively across campuses and disciplines. To aid in this support, the Office of Research encourages those interested in leading and contributing to WSU research initiatives to submit their name for consideration for the Fellowship Program.
The Fellowship Program provides opportunities for individuals to grow and develop their leadership skills while promoting OR activities and objectives. The program will provide participation and responsibility in the Office of Research.
Fellows will:
- Learn and shape OR-related procedures;
- Provide leadership for specific OR initiatives;
- Work collaboratively with WSU research leadership, faculty, and staff to develop and articulate OR goals, objectives, and strategy;
- Foster participation by faculty and academic units within OR;
- Raise OR visibility across the WSU system, including interacting with key stakeholders;
- Contribute to overall OR success.
The Fellowship Program (ORFP) will provide faculty with participation and responsibility in Office of Research programs. Fellows will play a vital role in the Office of Research’s constant improvement, identifying strategic opportunities, innovation, and enhancements to research administration.
The ORFP will provide opportunities for growth and development of leadership skills while supporting Office of Research activities and objectives. OR Fellows will receive compensation that is negotiable based on scope and context of the assigned activities.[1]
OR Fellows will participate in meetings with the designated OR unit and senior leadership, university administration, and college leadership, as needed. Required time allocation will be determined upon assignment to the selected OR unit and scope of project and/or activities. Fellowship appointments are on a per year basis, as needed.
