The Office of the Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies plays a leadership role in the pursuit and achievement of excellence in research, graduate studies, and international initiatives.

Through the Office of Research, the Vice-President is responsible for research facilitation and promotion, including maximizing research funding opportunities, the development and implementation of policies related to research, technology transfer, and providing a full range of research services and support to Concordia researchers.
