Welcome to Research at Montclair State University
Montclair State University is a public comprehensive research institution whose mission is to advance the creation of new knowledge, innovate the application of existing knowledge, and serve as a center of pedagogical and creative excellence for the benefit of our students and society. As a result of our research and scholarly activity and the doctoral programs that support it, we have earned the Carnegie classification of Doctoral University – High Research Activity, the R2 designation. We are also one of only four public research universities in New Jersey.
Research at Montclair State is supported by the Office of Research. The Office of Research provides high-quality services to the University community to encourage, facilitate and support faculty, staff and students in their pursuit of new knowledge, understanding and creative endeavors. The Office assists in identifying funding opportunities for sponsored research, provides training workshops, assists in the preparation of external grant applications, and administers the non-financial aspects of awards while also protecting the University’s interests in assuring compliance with federal and state laws, rules and regulations.
Whether you are a member of the Montclair State community, a research sponsor or a potential collaborator, faculty member or student, we invite you to explore our research enterprise and what we have to offer.
