Research and Innovation Network

Facilitates communication among senior unit administrators and campus administrators who have research as their primary mission.

Members are either administrators of units reporting to the campus administration whose primary function is the support of research, scholarly, and creative activities, or senior administrators from each academic college whose primary responsibility is the support of research, scholarly, and creative activities. A RIN member will typically be the associate dean for research in a college or the director of an institute or administrative unit. Senior staff reporting to the VCRI who have campus-wide responsibilities for research support are also part of RIN, as are directors of units that are primarily focused on the translation of Illinois research.
