‘Roadmap to Research Top Tier’ will guide UNC Charlotte’s research direction
Over the past year, a dedicated group of UNC Charlotte faculty, staff and administrators collaborated to study the University’s potential to become a top-tier research university. Through a rigorous evaluation process, the commission recommended concrete, actionable steps that Charlotte should take to continue to grow its research enterprise and build upon its existing and emerging strengths to advance its status as a top-tier research university.
