Research Support
The Cato College of Education provides a variety of resources to support faculty, staff, and students in the pursuit of scholarly research, including a team that assists the College research community in the pursuit and management of extramural funding. Team members provide education, consultation, communications and other services in support of the research enterprise of the College. Faculty and staff can reach out to team members via email to ask questions or schedule a time to meet, but are encouraged to Submit a Service Request for support that may require time and effort to address. Submitting a ticket ensures that the request is tracked and completed in a timely fashion.
