The Research Development Office (RDO) at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC is a vital unit within the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI). They play a crucial role in fostering growth and collaboration by supporting interdisciplinary research collaborations and laying the foundation for sustainable research growth. The RDO assists with strategic planning, identifies funding opportunities, manages internal seed-funding programs, and oversees the university's Shared Core Research Facilities, Centers and Institutes, and industrial consortia.
The Proposal Development Unit (PDU) within the RDO provides assistance for proposals over $1M, while the Core Facilities team oversees NC State's six Shared Core Research Facilities. With a focus on interdisciplinary research, the university's Centers and Institutes, Faculty Clusters, and Industry Partnerships provide platforms for collaboration among the brightest minds across the UNC System. The RDO's work has already yielded impressive results, including the development of self-sterilizing polymers effective at inactivating coronaviruses, offering potential solutions to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases.
