The Office of the Vice Provost for Research

World renowned researchers and scholars call ETSU home. For this reason, ETSU is a hub of creativity, innovation, and knowledge generation. ETSU researchers literally improve the quality of life of the people of the region and beyond through the work done here. And that critical thinking, idea generation, and passion for knowing are taught to and modeled for students. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research has the privilege of supporting the faculty, staff, and students who blaze trails through their research, scholarship, and creative activity endeavors.

The R2 Designation

ETSU is an R2 institution with premier R2 aspirations. That means ETSU values and prioritizes research and is recognized for it. Through training graduate students, competing for and being awarded research grants and contracts, and engaging undergraduate and professional students in research activities, ETSU contributes to the research and innovation economy. And we desire to contribute even more.
