the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo are coordinated
by a Research Office, led by Interim Vice Chancellor for Research Daniel E. Brown (at right).
A Research Council, whose members are appointed by the vice chancellor for research for three year terms, is the chief recommending body for the vice chancellor. The council administers the intramural grant program, proposes policies and procedures for extramural grant activities by the campus, and advises the vice chancellor on matters concerned with research and grant activity. The UH Hilo Research Council is chaired by Ken Hon, professor of geology.
Grants for faculty and staff at UH Hilo are administered by the Research Corporation of the University of Hawai'i (RCUH).
