The Research Corporation of the University of Hawaiʻi (RCUH) was established by the Hawaiʻi State Legislature in 1965 as a public instrumentality and is attached to the University of Hawaiʻi for administrative purposes. 

Our Mission

To support and enhance research, development, and training in Hawaiʻi, with a focus on the University of Hawaiʻi.

What We Do

To fulfill its mission, RCUH is exempt from certain state procurement and personnel laws. This allows RCUH to provide rapid and efficient financial and human resources services which enable its clients to be more productive and to meet their research and training objectives in a timely manner.
