About Accelerating Research

As a public research university, Stony Brook is a vital source of discovery and innovation as well as a leader in social and economic change for our region and our country. It’s more important than ever for SBU to explore new opportunities to expand our research portfolio, and we must pursue these goals together as one campus.

You’ve shared your ideas and challenges, your struggles and solutions, and some of the obstacles standing in the way of our success. We heard you—and we’re taking action to unleash our ambitions.

Building upon the ongoing work of the Research and Innovation Task Force, Stony Brook is accelerating research by more effectively aligning our resources and infrastructure, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration, and eliminating barriers to productivity and success. This site aims to serve as a gateway to the latest information on research initiatives, funding opportunities and ways to connect with colleagues to enhance your work.
