The Research Advisory Council (RAC) supports the growth and success of research, scholarship, and creative activity across UConn and UConn Health by providing representative faculty input to the Office of the Vice President for Research. The Council promotes the quality and integrity of the University’s research enterprise while serving as a two-way channel of communication between faculty and the Vice President for Research. Through the RAC, faculty share perspectives on emerging needs, priorities, and research-related issues, while Council members represent the interests and concerns of their schools, colleges, departments, and other academic units.
