Research at UH Hilo

UH Hilo Research Council

The UH Hilo Research Council is the primary recommending body on research for the administration. The Chancellor appoints members of the university units for three-year terms. The Council administers the intramural grant programs, proposes policies and procedures for extramural grant activities, and advises the administration on matters concerned with research and grant activity.
