Resources

Returning to research

The Office of the Vice President for Research has launched a new website for COVID-19-related guidance and resources for ramping up research.

Templates/Brand

A new University of Iowa Brand Manual and website was recently rolled out. It includes university guidance on branding, logos, design, applications, templates and governance. You will notice an emphasis on the block “IOWA” as the primary logo instead of unit specific logos.
