Creating and communicating new knowledge for the public good is at the heart of a research university’s mission. Developing and supporting the impact of that work is critical to the long-term success of Georgia State. We enhance our reputation when we recruit and retain excellent faculty who advance our research, scholarship and creative activities, and integrate this work into teaching.

1.2 Identify, invest in and scale cross-cutting research that builds and strengthens intellectual community, fosters internal and external partnerships, and offers opportunities to impact academic disciplines, our Atlanta community and our global society.
1.3 Reimagine existing structures to increase efficiency and leverage successful entities to create additional research capacity for increased domestic and global engagement.
