Research
As a leading R2 research institution, our students have an unprecedented opportunity for hands-on research. Because we are a small, engaged community, students are participating in cutting-edge faculty research from as early as their sophomore year.
The Research Office
The Research Office at Rutgers–Camden supports research, in all its forms, across the campus by assisting students, faculty and staff to identify appropriate funding and collaborative opportunities to advance their work. From ideation to submission, our office staff will be with you every step of the way.

Through funding opportunities, faculty mentorship, professional development, and research dissemination, we help students develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences that prepare them for graduate study, professional careers, and lifelong learning.
Research Administration & Compliance
We work with you to ensure that research is conducted safely, ethically, and in accordance with university and sponsor requirements. This includes IRB, Conflict of Interest, Research Integrity, and more.
Research Resources
The Research Office maintains a collection of resources designed to support researchers throughout every stage of the research lifecycle. Whether preparing a proposal, managing an award, or meeting compliance requirements, these resources provide the information needed to navigate research administration with confidence.
Our Team
Our team partners with faculty, staff, students, and external sponsors to build a collaborative research environment that promotes innovation, integrity, and academic excellence. We help strengthen the university's research enterprise and expand opportunities for scholarly discovery.
Students who have identified research interests should connect with faculty members whose research topics match their interests. Faculty members can provide students mentorship on research and writing, career advice, and offer valuable academic feedback. Faculty members can guide undergraduate students in developing research skills and constructing independent research projects. Developing relationships with faculty members is an important process that can connect students to future opportunities.
What Powers Our Research
Our faculty members are committed to innovative teaching at every level — undergraduate, master’s and doctoral — and inspired by the ideas and opinions of their students. This faculty mentorship, where professors and students share the excitement of discovery, is a hallmark at Rutgers–Camden.
