Welcome from the Dean of Research
at Stanford University
As a world-class research university, Stanford is committed to the pursuit of knowledge for the benefit of society. At Stanford, research provides the training ground for tomorrow’s leaders. We welcome you to this web site, and encourage you to explore its pages.
Research that Spans Boundaries and Disciplines
The interdisciplinary centers below are managed at Stanford University by the Dean of Research. Operating outside of the boundaries of schools, they draw on strengths across the university and play a critical role in the research initiatives identified as part of the very successful Stanford Challenge campaign.

Bringing scientists and engineers together in unique centers, Stanford has advanced the understanding of our universe. Through innovative applications of technology to science, we can examine space and time, light and material. |
Protecting Our Environment
 |
Protecting our planet requires an integrated focus on land, water, air and energy. Solutions will require the combined efforts of scientists and engineers along with researchers in business and law.
|
Understanding the Human Condition
 |
Problem-solving in the 21st century will take depth of knowledge and breadth of skill across the range of political, economic, technical, scientific and legal studies. |
Improving Human Health
 |
Stanford has organized interdisciplinary approaches to increasingly complex problems dealing with the medical and biological sciences. Stanford’s Bio-X program, for example, joins engineers, chemists, computer scientists, and physicists with our medical researchers to find solutions.
