Meet the Interim VPRI
Welcome to San José State University!
I am Marc d’Alarcao, the newly appointed SJSU Interim Vice President for Research and Innovation (VPRI) and the Interim President of the Board of Directors of the SJSU Research Foundation. I also currently serve as the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
In my VPRI role, I lead the planning, administration, and evaluation of university research facilities, centers, institutes, and support services, as well as the allocation of funding for research and innovation programs and activities. The R&I team is responsible for identifying, securing, and maintaining extramural funding from governmental agencies, private foundations, businesses, and industry, as well as for developing public-private partnerships that foster innovation and grant collaborations.
As Interim VPRI, I lead the existing vision to build and strengthen the SJSU administrative infrastructure necessary to support our growing faculty-led research programs to provide the needed experiential learning to all SJSU students. With increased resources, focused training, and efficient support services for our researchers, SJSU will grow its public impact through research, scholarship, and creative activities.
We at San José State University are dedicated to supporting your journey through our Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (RSCA) programs and beyond. I am honored to be serving as the Interim Vice President for Research and Innovation (VPRI) and look forward to learning how I can help enhance your educational experience. All of us in the Research and Innovation Division are at your service.
Marc d’Alarcao
