Centers and Institutes

Eastern Michigan University encourages the creation of Centers and Institutes that offer unique contributions and services. These organized research units enhance the University's educational mission with interdisciplinary, problem-focused research. According to Board Policy 2.4, EMU Centers and Institutes promote collaboration with external partners, often with applied research projects that attract funding, or by providing service and training pertinent to area interests. The Associate Vice Provost and Assistant Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research oversees their procedures.

If you are interested in learning more about research through EMU’s centers and institutes, please contact the Director of EMU’s Office of Research Development and Administration.
