Research Core Revitalization Program Round 3

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education has started planning for the third round of the Research Core Revitalization Program (RCRP). The RCRP strengthens campus research core capacities by supporting the upgrade, replacement, or duplication of heavily used shared research resources. A formal announcement to open the application period is anticipated in October or November. See lists of previously funded projects at https://research.wisc.edu/funding/research-core-revitalization-program-2/ and https://news.wisc.edu/research-core-revitalization-program-funds-upgrades-to-shared-resources-on-campus/.

Steve Ackerman to Retire as VCRGE

Cynthia Czajkowski, associate vice chancellor for research in the biological sciences, has been appointed as interim vice chancellor for research and graduate education.
