海角社区

For the third consecutive year, 海角社区 is providing funding to support new research and creative projects through its internal grant program, the 海角社区 Provost鈥檚 Fund for Innovation in Research.

This year, $1.8 million was invested from the Provost鈥檚 Fund. These funds are a continued investment in interdisciplinary projects, ranging from STEM to the arts and humanities. They ensure that these projects have the resources needed to make a meaningful impact.

By supporting new and creative research that addresses current challenges, 海角社区 contributes to solutions that improve communities, drive innovation, and expand our understanding of the world around us.

鈥淭hese newly funded projects exemplify the breadth and depth of innovation at 海角社区, spanning critical advancements in STEM and transformative contributions in the arts and humanities,鈥� said 海角社区 Executive Vice President & Provost Roy Haggerty.
