Research Resources

Research Support Offices

Marshall's Office for Research is a one stop shopping resource to foster cutting edge research. Whether it's helping with undergraduate research apprenticeships, supporting PhD student research, acquiring critical research databases, helping with research grants and foundation support, identifying cross-disciplinary research opportunities, or fostering research collaboration opportunities, the Vice Dean of Research office supports research in every possible capacity. Our goal is to create a positive and supportive research environment for faculty and students. Marshall Faculty and PhD students will find a wealth of information relevant to all aspects of research at (http://mymarshall.usc.edu - click on 'Community'; 'Marshall Community Groups').

We work synergistically with complementary research offices at the University including the Vice Provost for Research Advancement, Contracts and Grants, Office for the Protection of Research Subjects, Sponsored Projects Accounting, and the Office of Compliance. We make it easy for faculty and students to search for funding opportunities, obtain training in developing a funded research program, or identify personnel for research projects.

Library and Computing Support

State of the art library support provides a strong base for research excellence. Free access to syndicated data services, including WRDS, OneSource, ABI-Inform/Proquest, Psychinfo and hundreds more offer a wealth of data pertinent to critical issues relevant to business. Whether it is at Marshall's Crocker Library, the Accounting Library, the undergraduate library (Leavey Library), our flagship research library Doheny Memorial Library or any of the other libraries on campus, faculty and students will find and outstanding array of electronic research resources. Librarians are at the ready to answer library and database-related questions, Faculty and students can recommend books for library purchase and can request book purchases on an expedited basis. Our Scholar's Portal makes it easy for USC/Marshall researchers to identify published articles relevant to their research domain by simultaneously cross-searching multiple databases in a single search query. A variety of library supported workshops a help faculty and students get the most out of the library resources on campus.

Marshall and USC support research through outstanding computing and software support. Remote computing lets researchers work on their office computers from home. Support staff at Marshall and at USC provide indispensable aid with computing, including help with statistical packages.
