Recognizing the value of an interdisciplinary approach to the search for
knowledge, the University maintains organized research units outside the usual
departmental structure . Organized research units aid research and may enhance

regular academic curricula or confer degrees. They may provide research training
to graduate students employed in research programs with faculty supervision.
Organized research units are designated as institutes, centers, projects,
bureaus, nondepartmental laboratories, stations and museums . While the objectives
and fields of study vary widely, and institute is organized around a broad
subject area which cuts across department , school , college or even campus
boundaries . A center may be an agency established within an institute covering
a major area, or it may be separate and provide specialized facilities . A bureau
is an academic agency engaged primarily in public service activities and in
