As vice chancellor for research, Dotson’s role is to support research and creative
activity at UAA at all levels — from conception to completion and commercialization.
To do that, the overarching Office of Research is divided into three functions, starting
with the Office of Sponsored Programs, which helps researchers prepare project proposals
and secure funding and awards for their work. Next is the Office of Research Integrity
and Compliance, which works to maintain safety and ethicality on all projects while
adhering to federal guidelines and considerations unique to Alaska. Finally, Seawolf
Holdings looks to the future by supporting researchers with the licensing of intellectual
property by securing patents and exploring possible commercial applications for their
work. Ultimately, all three offices work in harmony to accomplish a single function.
