The Office of Sponsored Programs and Grants Management supports all faculty and staff in the pursuit of external funding that benefits Radford University, its students and faculty. 

The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship is dedicated to supporting student-faculty teams create and disseminate new knowledge in the form of undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activities (URSCA). This support empowers students from diverse backgrounds to have transformative educational experiences that cultivate strong relationships, innovation, and the creative and critical thinking needed to address the social, economic, and environmental issues confronting our region, nation, and world.

From databases to interlibrary loan, the librarians at McConnell Library (main campus) and the Radford University Carilion Library (RUC) are ready to support faculty and student research.

The SMART Lab is operated by faculty and students from the graduate and undergraduate programs in the School of Communication. It provides research and data visualization, resources and training to Radford University’s faculty, students and staff, as well as businesses in the New River and Roanoke Valley communities.
