Applied Research

How can the Office of Applied Research help with your research goals?

At College of the Rockies we are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to real-world challenges in our Rocky Mountain region, through community and industry partnerships with faculty and student researchers.

Here are some of the ways we typically offer research support:

Connect you with others doing research in your area of interest (colleagues, businesses, community groups, other academic institutions)
Identify funding opportunities in your area and assist in writing grant applications
Coordinate logistics for research with external partners
Provide a venue for discussion of innovative ideas and topics of interest (brainstorming sessions, networking meetings, etc.)
Provide guidance in the application process for teaching release time for your research
Provide guidance in the requirements of the ethics review process

If you have a need not listed here, we would be pleased to meet with you to understand your needs and to support your project.

Please note: All research involving human or animal subjects must be approved by the Research Ethics Board.
