The ORCS is committed to enhance the research, teaching, and service goals of the College of Education and Human Development through a three-part mission, by providing professional research consultation and services to:

1. Build the research capacity of the college by providing support to researchers to enhance their productivity and research quality;

2. Provide critical opportunities for professional development in all areas of research from study conceptualization to reporting; and

3. Promote collaborations among researchers in the college by bridging the work of substantive researchers and methodologists.

Through these goals, the ORCS strives to maximize the potential contributions of College researchers to their fields and to the community.
