These administrative units are led by a Director who is appointed by the Vice President for Research and Innovation. In addition to the Research Centers and Institutes supported through OVPRI, the University of Oregon has many other centers, institutes, and research-related groups on campus: \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://research.uoregon.edu/centers-and-institutes/other-centers-institutes-and-research-related-groups\" \u0014https://research.uoregon.edu/centers-and-institutes/other-centers-institutes-and-research-related-groups\u0015\nUNIVERSITY RESEARCH & INNOVATION INSTITUTE: A University Research & Innovation Institute is a unit that is organized to support multi- and interdisciplinary research and innovation involving a number of faculty, staff, and students. As such, University Research & Innovation Institutes are expected to include faculty of three or more departments/units and/or from two or more schools, and/or include substantial research and innovation portfolios. Such units are broad in scope and are characterized by their programmatic autonomy from an individual discipline or college, by having a budget that is fiscally independent of other academic units and requiring independent administrative support. Furthermore, University Research & Innovation Institutes often are the drivers of multi- or interdisciplinary graduate education and also require specialized infrastructure (e.g., space, facilities or equipment). University Research & Innovation Institutes are expected to have substantial external funding from either extramural sponsors or donor resources. A University Research & Innovation Institute is hereafter referred to as an “Institute.” These Institutes report to the VPRI and are administered under the auspices of the OVPRI.\nUNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER: A University Research Center is a unit organized to support multi- and interdisciplinary research in a manner that is less comprehensive than an Institute, but that still requires and/or benefits from specialized support mechanisms beyond those provided by a department or college. University Research Centers rely primarily on other existing units for their administrative support and typically are characterized by less programmatic and fiscal independence than University Research & Innovation Institutes. University Research Centers focus on broader themes that draw on multiple departments. They have a moderate level of extramural sponsors or donor resources. These Centers report to the VPRI and are administered under the auspices of the OVPRI. A University Research Center is hereafter referred to as “Center.” University Research Centers may be housed within an Institute. Other research centers that focus on a specific topic or theme would typically report to, and be administered by, the affiliated department or college.\nLAB: A lab is a research unit typically organized around one or two faculty members’ individual research activities. They may or may not have external or donor resources.\nSERVICE CENTER: A service center is a facility, center, operation, function, or activity whose output is measurable on a workload or other quantitative basis and the costs associated with these activities are separately accounted for and charged to users in proportion to services rendered. The primary purpose of a service center is to provide specific services to the UO community, although services may also be provided to external users.\nUNIVERSITY RESEARCH CORE FACILITY: Research Core Facilities (RCFs) are OVPRI-affiliated service centers.
