As the inaugural Asst. Provost for Research & Scholarship, I lead the university's research enterprise and manage a portfolio of approximately $5.75 million in institutional and external funds. My administrative work blends teaching and research across the institution’s academic units and has been instrumental in growth from regional to national ranking and an expected first-ever designation as a “Research University” by Carnegie in the coming years. I am charged with connecting ideas to opportunities for success and - while my daily tasks vary greatly - my role centers on ensuring that the Marian University research ecosystem is ethical, safe, compliant, productive, and efficient. This is accomplished through focus upon "The Five F's of MU Research:" 1) Faculty Development, 2) Facilities, 3) Funding, 4) Federal Compliance, and 5) Future Growth. Growing from zero staffing, I founded the Research & Scholarship Administration and oversee 3 FT and 6 PT staff across the Office of Sponsored Programs & Research, the Office of Undergraduate Research, and the Office of Research Operations, Integrity, and Compliance -- the latter of which includes the IRB, IACUC, and IBC with an additional approx. thirty-five partial reports in various leadership and regulatory compliance roles.

As a tenured Associate Professor of Physiology in the MU College of Osteopathic Medicine, I am the content expert for numerous topics related to molecular endocrinology and musculoskeletal physiology in the organ systems-based, integrated medical curriculum, in which I frequently utilize active learning techniques and case studies. I also integrate students into my biomedical research program (funded both internally and externally) so that problem-based research is used as a “high-impact educational practice.”

As the inaugural Faculty Lead for Research Development in the Marian University Center for Teaching & Learning. In this role, I was responsible for creating faculty development resources and strategies to boost the overall research activity of the university. I served a diverse range of scholars - from sociologists to theologians to chemists and beyond. Success in this position led to promotion as the inaugural Assistant Provost for Research & Scholarship in 2021.

In this ad hoc role, I reported directly to the Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and was responsible for the following duties: ascertain baseline student, faculty, and staff needs for the MS in Biomedical Science Program; establish the breadth and depth of programmatic needs to optimize student learning in a research-robust environment; develop a strategic plan that will augment connectivity to other research opportunities and offerings across the MU campus and with affiliated partners.

I serve as the founding editor in chief for the Springer Nature journal Clinical and Translational Metabolism, which aims at integrating new research from clinical and translational science in all areas of metabolism. In addition to classical aspects of metabolism such as the biochemical and physiological processes that underlie metabolism, energy homeostasis, and the regulation of nutrient balance, the journal also seeks to highlight advances in the integration of these areas in the broader context of whole organism physiology and clinical medicine from areas such as cancer, mitochondrial diseases, cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal health, endocrinology, and regenerative medicine.
