It’s tremendously rewarding to be able to help faculty do amazing things.  They are the creative force that drives discovery.

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research exists to promote and support Washington University researchers as they seek funding sponsors, conduct world-class research, and share their research results through publication and commercialization for the use and benefit of the public.
