The Office of the Vice President for Research is committed to supporting foundational research infrastructure and the research facilities necessary to enable excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievement in research, scholarship and creative artistry. One of the goals of the Cores Program is to provide access to state-of-the-art research tools and expertise across the University research enterprise. The OVPR supports CSU Core Facilities by providing stewardship, visibility and leadership for strategic planning and vision. Through our campus research partners, specific core facilities provide in house resources for researchers. Below is the current list of campus research resources as compiled by the OVPR.

Recharge Fiscal Officers (RFO) Listserv
Business and Financial Services, in conjunction with the VPR’s office and Sponsored Programs, has created a listserv specifically for Fiscal Officers associated with Recharge (21/22) Accounts.
Our goal with this listserv is to create a community across our campus of people with similar responsibilities related to Recharge Accounts and to generate a forum in which we can easily disseminate important information and where questions can be asked and answered.
We hope this group can be open and collaborative where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and providing constructive feedback and recommendations.
