Research and Creative Activities

The Research & Creative Activities Team within OU’s Center for Faculty Excellence is excited to work with OU faculty as they pursue research and creative activities throughout their career. We strive to support faculty individually while making resources available widely and transparently. We host information sessions and workshops throughout the year, meet individually with faculty in consultations, review internal and external funding proposals, and coach faculty in their development of impactful publications and presentations. In these efforts, we hope to help faculty communicate their work, partner with collaborators, secure funding, and broaden their impact on society. 

NOTE: CFE’s R&CA team currently has three open positions, which are in the process of being filled. During this transition period, we may not be available to provide support for every proposal request. Our availability to help will depend on the complexity of the proposal, our other commitments, and the tightness of the proposal deadline. We encourage faculty to contact us early in the proposal development process to discuss the level of CFE support available for your project.  We also encourage you to explore the wealth of resources available in the self-enroll Canvas courses associated with many of our workshop offerings.
