Vision
Our goal is to foster research and innovation in the digital realm and spearhead a multi-campus cooperative effort to engage faculty, postdoc and graduate fellows in collaborative research.
Objectives
We aim to accomplish our goals by working toward the following objectives specific to digital innovation:
- driving collaboration across the five campuses for joint impact and
- accelerating research, mentorship and learning.
Strategies
To achieve its objectives, the Initiative is investing in three primary mechanisms:
- funding individual research and fellowship awards at various levels to pursue both targeted and exploratory research in key research focus areas (see current funding opportunities)
- accelerating collaboration through multicampus projects in each of the Initiative domains and
- building community by creating opportunities for researchers to network and share knowledge.
