Research Advisory Council    

The charge of the Research Advisory Council is to advise the Associate Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies on the development of the TAMUG research program, procedures for allocation of resources related to research and development of long-range plans for enhancing TAMUG’s research program, considering the wide range of funding sources, technologies, and expertise required to conduct a nationally recognized research program. To be eligible, faculty must have a funded extramural (non-TAMUG) research proposal submitted within 3 years prior to election, a peer-reviewed publication within the previous three years and be willing to be an active member. There are seven voting members (including the Chairman) plus one ex-officio member. The term is two years with a one-time renewal for a total of up to four years. Representatives may be elected or appointed by their respective departments; this is dependent on departmental by-laws and policies. Meetings are typically held in October, March and August with additional meetings called as needed.
