The University of New Orleans Office of Research fosters faculty, staff, and student innovation across disciplines, helping investigators find funding, apply for opportunities, manage awards, and learn best practices at every stage. We safeguard the integrity of the research conducted in our community, protect the intellectual property of our investigators, and promote UNO's creative, scholarly, and research achievements.

The mission of the UNO Office of Research is to 1) support and grow the research, scholarly, and creative enterprises of the University community, 2) foster innovation—the process of creating new ideas and bringing them to fruition—and 3) promote sustainable economic growth and advancements in quality of life through research, scholarly, and creative output.
