11/6/2024
The Research Corporation of the University of Guam, RCUOG, recently celebrated a notable milestone – in the 11 years since it was established, it has grown from a two-employee startup handling five grants to a 246-employee operation managing 171 grants and projects.
Over the past decade, RCUOG has become a driving force for growth at UOG, providing hands-on research opportunities to students, helping scientists secure and manage major grants, and delivering economic and social benefits for the people of Guam.
The corporation supports about 80% of the grants at UOG – managing money, hiring, buying equipment, and ensuring all actions comply with regulations and grant requirements. By doing the heavy lifting on grant administration, RCUOG allows researchers to focus on their work and discover solutions to challenges facing the region.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Cathleen Moore-Linn, RCUOG supports more than $100 million in multi-year grants. As of 2022, the National Science Foundation ranked UOG in the 68th percentile nationwide for total research and development expenditures, placing it 284th out of 890 institutions.
