Research Development

What is Research Development?

Research Development encompasses a set of strategic capacity-building activities designed to enhance faculty and administrators' ability to increase competitiveness and secure extramural RSCA funding. 

The Mission of Research Development at San ​José State University

Our mission is to maximize the institutional capacity for extramural funding by building a robust SJSU research culture in support of faculty-led, student-focused, multidisciplinary research that empowers SJSU to lead in the creation of public impact research delivering social and economic benefits to our local, regional, and global communities.
