The leadership of ODU and Darden College of Education & Professional Studies (DCEPS) know that research is a key element in making impacts for our partners. This crucial work is carried out by faculty, staff, students, and community partners often alongside their various other responsibilities. The DCEPS Research Support Center has been established in a dedicated commitment to assist these members. 

Its mission is to maximize the impact of scholarly activity by:

  • promoting faculty, student, and community interdisciplinary relationships,
  • establishing platforms and networks to share new knowledge,
  • developing infrastructure for funding development and resource acquisition, and
  • supporting professional development and mentorship that leads to research excellence.
