Research, Discovery and Creative Activities

Over the next five years, Texas Woman’s will highlight, promote, and strengthen our burgeoning research enterprise across system-wide disciplines, from STEM and healthcare to the arts and humanities and beyond. From basic, applied, and translational research to innovative creative activities, this initiative aims to increase output, external funding, and sustainability for Texas Woman’s programs, students, and faculty. Our focus is trained on solutions for global challenges.

While fostering excellence in research and elevating our standing both locally and globally, our research initiative centers student engagement and activities that reflect our diversity. Our goals include attaining and maintaining the Carnegie classification of High Research Activity for doctorate-granting institutions for the sake of attracting world-class faculty and graduate students. We seek community and philanthropic collaborators to join us in anchoring Texas Woman’s unique values in what we are committed to achieving: a thriving and self-sustaining research initiative.
