Research & Scholarly Affairs Committee (RSAC)

 

The Office of Research and Grants provides research support to OU-COM faculty to enhance research activity and to increase competitiveness for funding from both external granting agencies and internal sources at Ohio University. Proposals are solicited and reviewed by the Research and Scholarly Affairs Committee (RSAC), chaired by Susan Williams, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences. This committee deals with faculty research and library issues in OU-COM and works closely with the Office of Research and Grants to stimulate research activities by our faculty.
