The most significant transformation at Rensselaer since 1999 has been the creation of a research portfolio of greater size, significance, quality, and prominence, allowing Rensselaer both to address pressing global challenges-and to offer a world-class education to our students at all levels.
The Office of the Vice President for Research oversees the five signature research thrusts at Rensselaer, in addition to the centers where this critical research takes place.
Your support of research at Rensselaer enables students to play a part in the solving of the global challenges. Gifts in support of research can be made to the endowment and the Rensselaer Annual Fund.
