In September 2023, the Research Committee Working Group was formed by the Office of Research. The Research Committee Working Group will work closely with the Research Committee and the Office of Research to ensure that there are a sufficient number of reviewers for each of the grant programs to aid with the transparent and unbiased review of each grant proposal and application, playing a meaningful role in SCU’s commitment to supporting and elevating scholarship.
