• Monitor the accounting research activities of other accounting associations (e.g. AICPA, FEI, IIA, and IMA) and coordinate with those organizations, as appropriate.
• Advise the Vice-President/Research in the development and administration of the Association's programs in accounting research, including contributing to effective initiatives undertaken by headquarters' staff involved in faculty development, the regions and the sections.
• Suggest ways to encourage research in accounting, including research related to discovery, integration, application and teaching.

• Provide effective research liaison with regions and sections.
• Coordinate the work of research-designated committees, such as the Competitive Manuscript Committee, the Deloitte Wildman Medal Award Committee, the Distinguished Contributions to Accounting Literature Award, the Doctoral Consortium Committee, the Financial Reporting Issues Conference Committee, the New Faculty Consortium Committee and the Notable Contributions to Accounting Literature Award Selection Committee.
• The AAA Vice-President-Research will collect nominations for the Seminal Contributions to Accounting Literature award until March 32st in years in which they are solicited.  The AAA Vice President-Research will involve the Research Advisory Committee to screen the nominations.  The committee will consider works worthy of the Award and add them to other nominations considered.  The AAA Vice President-Research and the Research Advisory Committee will take into consideration that the Award is not given too frequently to avoid diluting its original purpose.  The AAA Vice President-Research makes recommendations to the Executive Committee at the Spring Executive Committee meeting.  The Executive Committee will make the final decision on giving the Seminal Contributions to Accounting Literature Award. 
• Evaluate the current charge of this committee. If appropriate, recommend changes to the Executive Committee.
