Research and Innovation

Division of Research and Innovation at SJSU

The Division of Research and Innovation works with the entire campus to seek internal and external support for faculty and student research, scholarship and creative activity (RSCA), and institutional projects that support the educational and service mission of the university. Collaboration is sought across disciplines, departments, and community partners in preparing proposals to federal, state, and private agencies.

The Division consists of three units: the Office of Research, Office of Innovation, and the SJSU Research Foundation.

What is RSCA (Pronounced "RISKA")?

The growth of research, scholarship, and creative activity on campus is referred to as RSCA. SJSU, as an institution, is investing heavily in RSCA to provide the opportunity for students to engage in faculty-led experiential learning to develop critical thinking skills and prepare students for their careers in a strong and meaningful way.
