University of Michigan

Research Support

We are one of the nation's great public research universities, and our work extends from the humanities and natural sciences to the Life Sciences Institute, the Medical School and the College of Engineering. Our commitment to the creation of knowledge is really a dedication to help solve the complex problems facing the world in the environmental, biological and social arenas.

Our research goes hand in hand with our teaching, and students benefit from exceptional faculty whose continuous innovation is shared in the classroom and beyond.

The outstanding offerings of our schools and colleges make Michigan a stimulating institution for students, researchers, teachers and scholars. We seek to maintain and expand our strongest programs while developing new initiatives. In particular, our interdisciplinary programs stand out among an already exemplary number of courses and initiatives. Arts of Citizenship, the Program in the Environment, the Honors Program, the Women in Science and Engineering Program, and the New England Literature Program are but a sampling of only-at-Michigan opportunities with the potential to be the pinnacle of a student's experience.

Support will benefit programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels: multidisciplinary courses, museum and gallery exhibits, conferences, lectures, international study, film series and theme semesters.
