The Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Subcommittee is a subcommittee of the Faculty Senate.

Some minutes are missing.

Historical note: The Research and Scholarship Subcommittee was created as the Bylaws were being updated in late 2013 (approved June 2014). It did not have a direct predecessor pre-2014. The name changed to Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Subcommittee in fall 2017.

From the 2020 Bylaws of the UMD Campus Governance: The Research, Scholarship & Creative Activities Subcommittee will provide a forum for internal discussion, initiate policies touching on research matters, gather and disseminate information to the faculty, and provide a faculty voice to administration on matters pertaining to research. This subcommittee will review and articulate the research mission of UMD; provide a forum for exchange of perspectives and experiences among the community of researchers; identify standards and benchmarks of good practice in research, identify desirable resources, practices, and policies for further enhancement of the research and creative climate at the university; and review and report annually on the effectiveness of university policies and practices regarding research. The committee will foster the development of continued communication with the administration and make recommendations to the appropriate standing committee or senate.
