This is Research Support

The DOR provides research functions not easily performed by individual faculty, such as collaboration with other global institutions and organizations. Such research efforts focus on economic impact studies and survey research. Click  here for some examples of recent studies.

The Division of Research also provides assistance to faculty of the Moore School of Business so that maximum advantage can be taken of their research strengths. This assistance is two-pronged. First, the Division helps faculty develop proposals for funding by external agencies. Second, it coordinates internal research funding through such activities as the Research Fellows  Program and USC-Business Partnership Foundation Research Grants.
