Research Administrative Community

Helping WSU investigators thrive

Administrators across the WSU system come together to help faculty prepare and submit research proposals, then manage their awards and accounts.

Role of the Research Administrative Community (RAC)

The RAC group convenes on a regular basis to to review new policy changes, grant updates, and more. It enables administrators across the WSU system to share information and build understanding of research-related topics, such as:
