The Office of the Vice Provost for Research
World renowned researchers and scholars call ETSU home. For this reason, ETSU is a hub of creativity, innovation, and knowledge generation. ETSU researchers literally improve the quality of life of the people of the region and beyond through the work done here. And that critical thinking, idea generation, and passion for knowing are taught to and modeled for students. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research has the privilege of supporting the faculty, staff, and students who blaze trails through their research, scholarship, and creative activity endeavors.
