During 2024, important Boilermaker breakthroughs and research developments were highlighted in Dimensions of Discovery. With $648 million in research awards in this fiscal year and a $3 billion active research portfolio, I am awed and enormously proud of the progress that has been made this year to impact lives and change the world for the better.
The Purdue Policy Research Institute is expanding its op-ed initiative to collaborate with the Office of Research on a new workshop for faculty. On Nov. 19, PPRI Faculty Fellow Kathryn Cramer Brownell, will lead the workshop “Taking Your Research Public with Op-Eds: Why and How To Do It.”
As we read in the news daily, AI tools are no longer confined to computer science laboratories – they’re driving advancements in fields as diverse as biology, engineering and social sciences. This is evident at Purdue, where we embrace AI to accelerate discovery and reshape how research is conducted — all while contributing to AI’s evolution.
The Office of Research has announced a new program that provides pilot funding to faculty members who are submitting applications for a second or third R01 grant. The program is known as the Purdue Multiple NIH R01 Award Program, or R012.
I am proud to announce that after more than a year of planning, the Purdue Excellence in Research Administration system, or PERA, is now live!
The Office of Research has announced the renewal of the Laboratory and University Core Facility Research Equipment Program to support researchers wanting to purchase the most up-to-date research equipment.
When invited to speak to groups, I often talk about Purdue’s public service mission which plays out with many public benefits such as medical, technical, and educational breakthroughs, but today I want to highlight another: competitiveness.
Executive Vice President for Research Dr. Karen Plaut provides an update on the Purdue Excellence in Research Administration (PERA) system.
Through our work, we all strive to make a positive and lasting impact on students, our fields of expertise and the world. Each edition of Dimensions of Discovery contains numerous examples of Purdue faculty doing exactly this. In this edition, I also want to briefly highlight the role of authoring academic books as another means of achieving this goal.
Leaders from industry, academia, government along with faculty, staff and students will soon gather at Purdue for the Competitiveness Conversation: The Indiana-Illinois Innovation Corridor — Chips, Qubits, and Molecules event. The event is hosted by Purdue University, Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Illinois System along with the Council on Competitiveness.
