What We Do

Research contracts often require a much more flexible and streamlined method of operation than is permitted by typical state agencies, which is one of the primary reasons why RCUH was created. In order to help the University of Hawai‘i (UH) run more like a business, RCUH was established to help hire personnel and procure goods and services in an expeditious manner. Services include:

  • Fiscal Support for Direct Projects
  • Guidance for Procurement Transactions
  • Employee Recruitment
  • Benefits Management
  • Wage and Salary Administration
  • Staff Training

Although the large majority of RCUH’s volume of business is from research and training projects supported by extramural contracts and grants to UH faculty, RCUH also accepts projects from state departments, county agencies, international entities, and non-profit organizations if it fits within RCUH’s mission.
