Villanova Institute for Research and Scholarship

Focusing on Process

 

Strengthening research, scholarship and creative endeavors across campus

The  Villanova Institute for Research and Scholarship (VIRS) augments Villanova's research culture through professional development programs, resources and services that empower faculty and post-doctoral fellows to pursue their scholarly and creative aspirations sustainably over their careers. 

We offer inclusive support for Villanova's scholars and their varied forms, methods and traditions of inquiry. We aim to promote substantive, multidisciplinary engagement across the University’s colleges, departments and centers.

Our approach is shaped by Villanova’s Augustinian Catholic ideals of Veritas, Unitas, Caritas (Truth, Unity, Love). We are committed to the goals of diversity outlined in the Villanova University Diversity Statement.
