WELCOME BACK FACULTY
FALL 2026
Research starts here.
Whether you’re developing your first research idea, preparing a proposal, building a collaborative team, or managing an active award, Purdue’s Office of Research is here to help. We’ll connect you with the right expertise so you can spend more time advancing discovery—not navigating administrative complexity.

WELCOME BACK
Dear Purdue Faculty,
Welcome back! As we begin a new academic year, Purdue’s Office of Research is here to help you move your research forward—from the first spark of an idea through funding, proposal development, award management, and ultimately, impact.
A New Place to Start
We’ve designed our updated OOR website around the questions and needs researchers have—not around our organizational structure. Whether you are searching for funding, developing a collaborative team, preparing a proposal, navigating research requirements, or looking for the right person to help, the site can point you in the right direction.
We are also introducing a new Research Support Intake Form. If you know what you need—or even if you don’t, the form gives you one place to tell us how we can help. Our team will connect your request with the appropriate research support resources.
This fall, we are launching Research Starts Here, an effort to make it easier to find and connect with the research support, expertise, and resources available to you across Purdue.
Wherever you are in your research journey, start here:
Develop Your Idea → Find Funding → Develop Your Proposal → Submit Your Proposal → Manage Your Award → Make an Impact
Over the next six weeks…
Watch for a short series of messages introducing the people, services, tools, and resources available throughout the Office of Research. We’ll highlight how Purdue’s research support teams can help at different stages of your work—and make it easier to know where to turn when you need us.
You bring the ideas, expertise, and ambition that drive Purdue research forward. Our job is to help you get where you want to go.
Wherever you are in your research journey, Research Starts HERE.
Welcome back, and I wish you a productive and exciting semester.
Best regards,
Dan DeLaurentis, PhD
Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships
Purdue University
