For most research support and services at EUC, the first stop is our Research Officer, Rhoda Reyes. At the university level, support is also provided by Research Accounting, the Office of Research Ethics, the Office of Research Services and other units under the Vice President Research and Innovation. For many researchers, university-level Organized Research Units (i.e. research centres) also provide extensive research support.
