University Research Council

The University Research Council (URC) was established in July 1976 as part of a larger effort to stimulate research at the University of Pittsburgh. The Council is charged with helping to nurture a climate that encourages research as one of the primary missions of the University. The Council advises the Provost and the Vice Provost for Research on policies pertaining to the conduct of research, scholarship, and creative activities within the University. Members are appointed by the Provost. Faculty members on the Council represent the research-oriented schools and departments of the University as well as the University Senate.
