Grants and Funding
The intellectual breadth at the University of Notre Dame spans nearly every discipline imaginable, but it is those key areas of research where innovation can promote good in the world that Notre Dame shines. By boldly embracing our Catholic mission to serve our neighbor, we are focused on areas including economics, global development, global health, nanotechnology, nuclear physics, energy, computational data science and engineering, climate change, and cancer research.
If we make true progress in these research areas, the ramifications could have global significance. Discoveries in those fields could change the world as we know it. While we believe the bright minds at Notre Dame are suited for these great challenges, we also acknowledge that collaboration with our colleagues across countries and continents, across nationalities and religions, across time zones and climates will lead to the most fruitful yield. If researchers at Notre Dame can leverage our global network across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe to bring the brightest minds to Notre Dame and to bring Notre Dame to innovators across the globe, we are certain we will discover and create knowledge for the good of our neighbors and the world.
