Santa Rosa Island Research Station (SRIRS) is its own department under the Office of the President at California State University Channel Islands (CI). We seek to cultivate a diverse and interdisciplinary community of scholars. By supporting diverse types of research, education, and outreach across disciplines we initiate innovative resource management solutions. The SRIRS and its community seeks to address management challenges from multiple perspectives that will enable energetic, well-rounded, and successful responses to our changing natural and human landscapes. SRIRS is interdisciplinary in nature and is inclusive of all partners, who currently span a breadth of academic programs both within CI and externally.
Mission Statement: We provide students, faculty, researchers, and our local community with the resources and opportunities to engage in natural and cultural resource-based research and education via a partnership between the US National Park Service who own Santa Rosa Island and CSU Channel Islands that operate the SRIRS within Channel Islands National Park boundaries.

- Build inquiry centered educational partnerships.
