Research Council
Main Content
Established in 2022, the College of Education Research Council was created to enhance the College’s research enterprise by fostering a culture of external grant acquisition, interdisciplinary collaboration, and faculty mentorship. In alignment with TCU’s Strategic Plan Pillar II, we seek to foster a research culture that encourages academic discovery, creativity and scholarship across disciplines. The Council leverages the expertise of teacher-scholars to advance high-impact scholarship and support the development of competitive research proposals across the disciplines.
