Research at Southeastern takes on many forms, including empirical investigations,
scholarship, and creative activities. Our faculty are engaged in basic research that
will impact the future and increase our understanding of the world; others are applying
their skills and knowledge to current problems and improving current processes or
practices or contributing to the body of cultural works. The dedication of our faculty
to research complements and enriches Southeastern’s undergraduate and graduate academic
programs.

We are on an aggressive mission to increase our research funding and the involvement
of faculty and students at all levels as a means for better understanding our world,
preparing our students to make significant contributions in their chosen fields, and
promoting economic development in the region.

Whether in the physical sciences, the field at Turtle Cove Environmental Research
Station, K-12 schools, health facilities, the Business Research Center,  the Social
Science Research Center, in the stacks of some of the world’s most renowned libraries,
or in art galleries, theatres, and performance halls, Southeastern faculty are conducting
valuable research and contributing to the culture of the region, state, nation, and
beyond. Grants from agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the National
Endowment for the Arts, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation,
and many other sources fund our cutting-edge scholarly and creative efforts.

The Office of Sponsored Research and Programs is here to serve the needs of faculty,
students, and our community. We always appreciate comments and suggestions of how
we can improve this Web site to better serve you.

We’re Southeastern and we’re on the MOVE!
