Research Navigation Tool for New Faculty and Research Scientists

The Office of the Vice President for Research offers many services and collaborative opportunities to help researchers get started at the UI.

UI Research Administration units use a web-based tool to begin the onboarding process for new faculty and research scientists. To help us better assist you with setting up your research program, the navigation tool provides information about each unit and collects information about the nature of your research. Based on your responses, representatives from the various Research Administration and Compliance units will contact you to provide guidance and support during your onboarding process. When you complete the survey, you will receive an email with unit descriptions from the navigation tool.
