KSU is a Carnegie-designated doctoral research institution (R2 institution). The CSM has experienced rapid growth in student population as well as research, leading to development of a new PhD program. The ADRGS will serve as a member of the college’s leadership team. In collaboration with a Faculty Research Development Committee, department chairs, and Dean, the ADRGS will implement research enhancement strategies, and oversee all graduate programs. The ADRGS will organize training and mentoring of faculty in research, as needed. The appointment is 60% administrative, with the remaining responsibilities to be negotiated with the Dean.

The ADRGS will oversee compliance with various regulations by principal investigators and monitor safety procedures in college research, in collaboration with various units and committees (e.g., environmental health and safety (EHS), Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the College of Science and Mathematics safety officer).

 

The ADRGS will manage research resources including allocation of space for faculty, staff, and graduate student researchers, and funds for graduate research and teaching assistantships. In collaboration with graduate program directors and a program administrator, the ADRGS will help seek extramural funding to support graduate student education, and will help develop, oversee, and enforce college-wide policies regarding graduate students.
