Faculty Research Development

The office of Engineering Research and Graduate Programs, or ERGP, coordinates professional development activities for faculty and staff involved in research and proposal development. These activities disseminate information about resources and tools available on campus as well as best practices for research funding, proposal development, scholarly publications, collaborative research and more.

Faculty ERGP calendar of sessions and events are offered several times throughout the year around timely research-related topics to help faculty develop and advance their research portfolios. ERGP also hosts small group monthly lunches to engage with research faculty, develop connections, and spark potential research collaborations.

ERGP provides assistance to college tenure-track faculty as they develop and grow their research program and promotes early career workshops and seminars on campus as well as those sponsored by funding agencies.

Additionally, the Dean’s office encourages all engineering faculty to take advantage of research activities, workshops, and trainings offered by university units such as the offices of Research Development, Sponsored Programs, Corporate Engagement , K-State Research Foundation (KSURF) and the Teaching and Learning Center.
