• Organized Research Units (ORU)
  An Organized Research Unit (ORU) is an academic entity established to administer research programs that complement the campus's academic goals. ORUs are collaborative and interdisciplinary, and they are approved by the Chancellor and UC President. ORUs are reviewed every five years and have a maximum lifespan of 15 years unless approved for extension by the UC Office of the President. For more information, please refer to the UC Davis Policy & Procedure Manual Section 210-20 - Organized Research, 6/24/94: http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/210/210-20.htm

• Organized Research Projects (ORP)
  Like an ORU, the purpose of an Organized Research Project (ORP) is to foster research that crosses disciplinary boundaries. ORPs are the necessary precursors to establish an ORU. For more information, please refer to the UC Davis Policy & Procedure Manual Section 210-20 - Organized Research, 6/24/94: http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/210/210-20.htm
