About the Department

The Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Business Operations and HR Service Center is to be a one-stop shop where staff provide expert response and care for small- to mid-size groups under the Provost’s Office umbrella. The center was originally created for NC State’s academies to streamline business processes and operations for both HR and financials, while also being fiscally responsible by not hiring for these services for each academy/smaller unit.

Services have expanded to include support for the Provost Office Main Operations, Office of Faculty Excellence, University Data and Analytics, Institutional Effectiveness, Office of Equal Opportunity, Office of University Interdisciplinary Programs, Biotechnology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Pappas Real Estate Program, Academic Strategy, Innovation and Solutions, Climate and Sustainability Academy, Genetics and Genomics Academy, Plant Science Initiative, Global One Health Academy, Integrative Sciences Initiative, Data Science and AI Academy, Ombuds Office, Shelton Leadership Center, and Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program.

Additionally, the center provides these services on an as‑needed basis for many other units under the Provost’s Office umbrella through times of transition or need.
