Welcome to the Valdosta State University Center for Applied Research (CAR). CAR is here to help connect faculty expertise in the College of Arts & Sciences with applied research needs within our 41-county service region. We can help with design, implementation, and analysis of problems that require expert assistance. Our faculty have outstanding research experience in many fields and can serve as consultants and researchers for businesses, non-profits, local and state governments, private organizations, and federal and international agencies. For more information about the center or faculty expertise, please contact: Dr. Gary Lynn Wood, Coordinator of the Center for Applied Research, at 229-333-5230.

Faculty Applied Research Seed Grants are also available. The ARSG program provides up to $1,000 to assist faculty in exploration (and possibly start-up) of applied research opportunities. Applications involving more than one faculty member are capped at $1500.
