California State University, Sacramento is changing rapidly.
In January 2009, the University was designated an “Emerging Research Institution” by the Federal Demonstration Partnership (FDP), a federal-research collaborative led by the National Academy of Sciences.
This critical designation, awarded through a competitive peer-review process, gives Sacramento State a heightened presence as we move to expand resources, capacities and opportunities for the campus. As a result, we are able to work more in concert with federal funding agencies, large research institutions, and other entities engaged in research planning and development.
I invite you to learn more within these pages, and encourage you to comment to me or any of my RACA colleagues on ways in which we can help advance the campus climate of inquiry and discovery. MORE >
