These three-year thematic research and learning collaborations consist of faculty from at least three distinct units, undergraduate and graduate students, and potential external partners. Through the Incubator, they receive research funding to foster imaginative new partnerships, academic and public programming, and undergraduate and graduate courses.
Clusters will provide a framework for developing innovative and vibrant student learning opportunities as well as identify new areas of study that will potentially transform our research infrastructure and enhance our global visibility.
