DSP: An organized research unit performs research and complements the activities of academic departments. To qualify as an organized research unit, a UI research unit must consist of more than one researcher, receive funding from sources other than departmental allocation, have access to UI facilities and services, be directed by an individual drawn from the faculty or equivalent ranks, participate in the university’s educational functions but not grant degrees, be more than a facilitator of research (such as a computer lab), and be located on central campus or be accountable to the university. For more information, please see the UI Centers Policy. 

PVAMU: An Organized Research Unit (ORU) is an academic agency within the University. ORUs consist of an interdepartmental group of faculty members and students engaged in research, interdisciplinary in focus, involving two or more academic departments or schools. An ORU may not be established if research objectives are essentially the same as any existing department, nor may the offer formal courses or support faculty positions. The purpose of an ORU must be complementary to the academic goals of the University. ORUs are established on single campuses, whereas Multi-campus Research Units (MRUs) exist on two or more campuses. Prior status as an IRU is highly encouraged.
