Welcome!

The National Institutes of Health / NICHD Extramural Associates Research Development Award (EARDA) allowed us to establish the Office of Research Development, Planning and Coordination (ORDPC) in the division of Academic Affairs under the leadership of Professor Delroy Louden during the fall 2003 semester.

ORDPC is designed to assist faculty, students and administrators in identifying grant opportunities through timely dissemination of grant and contract availability and to assist faculty in applying for grants. We work closely with the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP). ORDPC collaborates with SPIRT to increase the number and improve the quality of grant proposals submitted by faculty, administrators and students.

The major goal of ORDPC is to foster and institutionalize research as an integral component of Lincoln University’s intellectual environment, and to assist in the development of a workable research infrastructure at the University. ORDPC is designed specifically to assist faculty and students by providing opportunities for engaging in research that focuses on broadening knowledge within specific discipline–oriented content areas.
