Research Council

---

The OUS Research Council serves as an advisory council to the Chancellor and Oregon State Board of Higher Education on research issues within Oregon. The Council is comprised of both public and private sector representatives and includes at least:

1. Vice Presidents/Vice Provosts for research at OSU, PSU, UO and OHSU;
2. A representative of OUS regional institutions;
3. A representative of Oregon's private colleges and universities.

The Chair, with approval of the Chancellor, may appoint additional members as necessary. Private sector members currently include a patent attorney and venture capitalist.

In 2005, the Oregon State Board of Higher Education charged the Research Council with monitoring and facilitating OUS research, among other responsibilities. The scope of the Council’s responsibilities is detailed in the OUS Research Council Charge. For a roster of members, meeting schedule, and meeting materials, see links to right.
