The division works with faculty campus-wide to create teams of researchers, identify potential funding, and develop grant proposals. Dr. Gad Perry, the current Director of the International Center for Arid and Semiarid Land Studies (ICASALS) has been tapped to be the founding Senior Director of the research division, starting September 1, 2014. Ms. Reagan Ribordy was hired in Mar ch 2014 as the Senior Grants Administrator, and has already ramped up efforts to secure sponsored funding for international research.
