Research Council


The OUS Research Council serves as an advisory council to the Oregon State Board of Higher Education on research issues within Oregon.  The Council is comprised of both public and private sector representatives and includes:

  1. Vice Presidents/Vice Provosts for research at OSU, PSU, UO and OHSU;
  2. One member of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education;
  3. A Provost from EOU, SOU, WOU or OIT;
  4. A senior administrator from an Oregon private college engaged in academic research;
  5. A private sector attorney with expertise in patents and technology transfer;
  6. A venture capitalist; and
  7. A representative from a research unit in Oregon private industry.

In 2005, the Oregon State Board of Higher Education charged the Research Council with monitoring and facilitating OUS research, among other responsibilities. The scope of the Council’s responsibilities is detailed in the OUS Research Council Charge. For a roster of members, meeting schedule, and meeting materials, see links to right.
