Mission
The primary mission of the Engineering Research Institute (ERI) is to provide research-related services to faculty and staff in the College of Engineering to build, strengthen, and sustain their research portfolios.
ERI staff engage with faculty across all engineering departments and centers in identifying funding opportunities, developing compelling responses, and increasing the number of successful submissions to various agencies and large programs.
When needed, ERI provides post-award management support to ensure the smooth project execution, maintain research compliance, and facilitate engagement with program managers and sponsors, positioning engineering faculty and staff for success in both current projects and future funding opportunities.
