2.1: Signature Initiatives

Recommit to successful signature initiatives, enabling them to achieve a new level of excellence

Other Information:

We reaffirm our commitment to our signature initiatives: the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy, the Social Science Research Institute, the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute, the Kenan Institute for Ethics, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, and the Sanford Institute of Public Policy. These signature initiatives serve as models for other universities and require continued and enhanced support. These programs will shape faculty development opportunities through the Faculty Enhancement Initiative, serve as magnets for attracting the best graduate students, enhance undergraduate educational opportunities, and foster interdisciplinary "vertical integration teams" of faculty, post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students, and practitioners.
