Advisory Committee

The ORSP Advisory Committee

As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening the research environment at Rutgers University — Newark, the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) formed an Advisory Committee to provide strategic guidance and cross-disciplinary perspectives. Committee members play a vital role in identifying needs and priorities to enhance support for researchers on our campus. They provide advice and consultation to the ORSP and help to promote collaborations across departments and disciplines. The committee meets together at least once per academic year and may be called upon for ad hoc requests during the year, such as to review limited submission opportunities when the need arises.

Committee Members:

  • Colleen Berryessa, Associate Professor, School of Criminal Justice
  • Thea Johnson, Dean for Faculty Research, Rutgers Law School
  • Gregory Porumbescu, Associate Professor, School of Public Affairs and Administration
  • Gregg Van Ryzin, Interim Dean, Graduate School Newark
