NC State’s research efforts uncover ways to add value to agriculture, improve public health, advance technology and engineering and enhance the quality of life. Today, these areas have grown to include genomics, bioinformatics, nanotechnology and a host of highly-technical pursuits unimaginable a generation ago.
Our forwarding-thinking research focus has paid off. Over the next decade, only a small number of first-tier research universities will have amassed the extensive human and capital resources necessary to sustain work on the most complex scientific and social issues. NC State will be one of them. Thanks to the strengths of its highly ranked libraries, its well-established and growing culture of collaboration and engagement and its burgeoning technologies — NC State has an unparalleled opportunity to become a national model for academic research and real-world problem solving in the 21st Century. A breakthrough of this scope requires substantial funding beyond what is provided by government support. Privates fund from Achieve! The Campaign for NC State will be crucial in allowing us to fulfill our potential as a premiere research institute.
