Saint 直播自慰视频 University's Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) provides support, guidance, and resources to faculty pursuing original research.
The Office of the Vice President for Research enables faculty research by fostering a vibrant research environment at SLU. Our goal is to lift many of the administrative burdens that accompany managing sponsored research so that faculty can focus on pursuing the research itself. The Office of the Vice President for Research can assist SLU faculty in the following areas:
- Identifying funding opportunities
- Convening faculty from across disciplines and creating collaborations
- Proposal development and review
- Managing awards and post-award compliance support
Research Councils and Committees
In the spirit of shared governance, SLU Research manages a variety of committees and councils to convene faculty, staff and administration around research. A list of these organizations, their charges, and their most up-to-date rosters can be viewed on the page below.

Ellen Barnidge, Ph.D., M.P.H., serves as interim vice president for research at Saint
直播自慰视频 University, a position she has held since June 2024. Barnidge is a professor
of behavioral science and health equity in the College for Public Health and Social
Justice (CPHSJ) and was interim dean of CPHSJ from 2022-2023. She has also led multiple
college-based and University-wide committees and special initiatives (including service
as the president of the CPHSJ Faculty Assembly and co-chair of the Student Well-being
Task Force).
Barnidge earned both a master鈥檚 in behavioral science/health education and epidemiology
and her Ph.D. in public health studies and behavioral science at SLU and has been
a CPHSJ faculty member since 2010. In addition to her authorship of dozens of publications
in high-impact journals, she has been a principal investigator or co-investigator
on grants funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National
Institutes of Health and the Missouri Foundation for Health. In this work, Barnidge
has drawn heavily on OVPR resources to support her widely recognized scholarship addressing
food security, healthy equity and related issues. She values transdisciplinary research
evidenced by research partners in social work, nutrition and dietetics, medicine,
economics, health outcomes, and law.
In her new role as interim vice president for research, Barnidge seeks to continue
the momentum SLU research has built in the past decade and to draw on her years of
experience as a SLU researcher and active member of the University鈥檚 research community.
She is enthusiastic about facilitating and disseminating research for greater impact
in people鈥檚 lives 鈥� a true demonstration of SLU鈥檚 mission.
