A Database for RSCA Advice and Collaboration

This database of faculty expertise for research, scholarly, and creative activities (RSCA) has been developed by the College of Social Sciences (CoSS) to facilitate faculty collaboration.

Experts would be happy to provide mentoring/pro-bono advice for areas of expertise marked with “*” in the listing below. For the remaining areas of expertise, please discuss various collaboration options when you contact the experts. These options include mentoring/pro-bono advice, working as a paid consultant, developing proposals for funded research, working on an already funded research project, etc., or a combination of such options.

To list faculty with specific areas of expertise, choose from the options below and click the APPLY button, which appears as soon as you start selecting search criteria. Please note that choosing multiple options could result in a smaller list of experts. Finally, if you were not able to participate in the survey, please consider doing so now.

Help: Selecting Search Criteria

  • Check the boxes corresponding to the areas of expertise you require. When you check a box, a submenu appears, in which you can choose more detailed requirements. When you execute a search, you will be shown only those results meeting all your selected requirements. Bear in mind that the more boxes you check, the fewer results you get.
  • Click APPLY to execute a search based on the criteria you have selected. APPLY buttons appear only once at least one box is checked. Many APPLY buttons have been provided, in the hope that one will always be reachable without scrolling. All of the APPLY buttons are exactly equivalent in function.
  • Click CLEAR to uncheck all boxes. CLEAR buttons appear only once at least one box is checked.
  • Click CANCEL to return to the search results you were last viewing, without initiating a new search. CANCEL buttons appear only after at least one search has been executed.
  • Clicking the HELP button once displays this help message. Clicking the button again hides it.
