Research

With expenditures in excess of $1 billion, research is central to the university’s mission and permeates all 19 schools and colleges. U-M is a strong advocate of interdisciplinary research initiatives—such as nanoscience and technology, energy, and life sciences—that involve faculty and students from many units on campus. Large-scale research institutes focused on long-term interdisciplinary problems join numerous research museums, libraries, laboratories, and centers to form a vast network of resources.
