Research Advisory Council
The Research Advisory Council (RAC) plays an important role advising and assisting the Associate Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies to elevate and grow discovery and innovation at Texas A&M University at Galveston. The RAC achieves this goal by evaluating the necessary projects, technology, and research funding investment that is required to develop and sustain an internationally respected research program. RAC members are chosen for research expertise across academic disciplines represented on the campus, and their insights are valuable for ensuring discipline-specific research excellence.
