Develop and recommend research administration policies for clinical research on the Wichita campus;
Develop Wichita campus input that the Wichita RAC representative may take to RAC discussions.

Council Representatives

The RAC-W consists of representatives from each of the five full-time departments and from each participating part-time department. The Office of Research will provide staff support to the Council.
