Field and Research Service Units
Welcome to the Field and Research Service Unit (FRSU) homepage. The FRSU serves as the back bone for well over 1,000 statewide field and lab based research trials annually. Our unit consists of 18 outlying research stations, the Controlled Environmental Research Lab, the Ridge Road Greenhouse Phase I and Phase II, the Noble Research Center and the Stored Products Research and Education Center. The FRSU is supported by an electronics support shop for lab equipment located in the Noble Research Center, a fleet of 90 vehicles and a fully staffed mechanic shop, a project management group for capital improvements and repairs, and a staff of 70 full-time and 30 part-time employees statewide.
The FRSU works to provide a central focus for station operations and management with the goal to improve overall efficiency by providing a systematic means for budget management, facility upgrades, consolidation of labor pools, maintenance and repair of equipment and buildings and other infrastructural needs.
We welcome you to explore our website and look at the diversity in research activities that we have across Oklahoma. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.
