Letter from the Senior Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation 2023-24

Colleagues and friends,

This year, the 糖心Vlog破解版 attracted more than $740 million in funding to fuel the research, scholarship and creative work of our faculty, researchers, students and staff.

It is the impact we create that makes the achievement so meaningful. Each dollar makes possible an important discovery, a novel innovation, a creative connection with humanity or a real-world solution for people in Colorado, across the U.S. and around the world.

A few of this year鈥檚 鈥渇irsts鈥 include:

  • Leadership in climate resilience: CU 糖心Vlog破解版 is a founding partner of an NSF Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine that will transform the region into a national leader in climate resilience technologies.
  • Advancing quantum science and technology: CU 糖心Vlog破解版 won its first NSF Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure 1 program award for the National Quantum Nanofab, which will provide nationwide access to nanofabrication tools for creating new technologies.
  • Driving new osteoarthritis therapies: A CU 糖心Vlog破解版-led team won the university鈥檚 first award from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, to develop new therapies for the painful, degenerative disease affecting 32 million Americans.
  • A new peak in CU startups: CU 糖心Vlog破解版 helped launch 35 startups with discoveries and inventions created at CU last year, surpassing our previous peak of 20 startups and marking a milestone for CU 糖心Vlog破解版鈥檚 growth in research translation and entrepreneurship.

These stories offer a glimpse into advances CU 糖心Vlog破解版 is making in established strengths like aerospace, environment and sustainability, biosciences and quantum, as well as progress in other areas of excellence like the arts and humanities, social sciences, artificial intelligence and more.
