NEIU ORD

Office of Research Development

The Office of Research Development (ORD) is dedictated to helping NEIU faculty develop their research programs and involve students in research, with a special focus on health-related, biomedical and behavioral sciences. We do this by:

Conducting workshops and seminars in research-related topics, such as human subjects and grant writing.
Collecting and disseminating information on available grant opportunities.
Mentoring faculty during grant writing.

The director of the office is Dr. Linda Rueckert, in the Dept. of Psychology. We are funded by an Extramural Associates Research Development Award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

News:

Grant writing seminars with Dr. Robert Porter on Sept. 23, 2011. The monring seminar will focus on NIH grants and the afternoon will be for general audiences. For more information, click here.
