UVM will help shape the future

THIS IS A BOLD CLAIM. But boldness is what our shared future requires.

The world’s challenges are not simply complex. They’re existential. As individuals and as a species, we all hope to discover pathways to better health, greater sustainability, and deeper fulfillment.

Today, UVM has launched SOLVE, an unprecedented fundraising campaign to support a wave of research projects aimed at creating a future of healthy societies and a healthy environment.

Join us today — as UVM shapes tomorrow.

SOLVE: The Campaign for Breakthrough Research at UVM

The impact of research

In these challenging times, we each seek the certainty that our world can be balanced, resilient, verdant.

Who among us acts to deliver this assurance to humankind? The scientists and scholars whose daily commitment is to question, investigate and innovate.

They...and you.

As a donor to this campaign, you can have a catalyzing role in unlocking the future. Because our progress is limited only by the resources we can apply.

Join our team. Because research is advanced not by scholars alone, but by everyone who shares this conviction: the solution is out there.

Together, let’s SOLVE.

Built for Breakthroughs

In UVM’s research, you find lofty dreams, deep insights, and genuine impact.

Here, eagerly collaborating faculty and students transcend organizational silos to achieve rapid success on targeted challenges. This interdisciplinary agility is uncommon, and it is also indispensable: the pathways to healthy societies and a healthy environment demand the melding of multiple perspectives.

This campaign will continue UVM’s momentum of achievement. SOLVE will fuel the research aspirations cascading from our enterprising faculty, allowing UVM to claim its mantle as a cutting edge research flagship.

Distinctly Vermont

UVM reflects the distinctive energies of the people of Vermont — a cohesive, community-minded people who possess the wisdom and will to change our world.

Despite its small size, Vermont faces challenges common to many rural and urban communities. Yet Vermonters share an uncommon, clear-eyed pragmatism about the importance of making progress together. This combination makes the state an exceptional laboratory for testing new ideas.

As the nexus of research in Vermont, UVM exists not just to educate students but to lift the state’s social, cultural, and economic fortunes. That gives our research a decidedly real-world orientation, energizing dynamic collaborations with partners statewide.

The future we shape

The sustainable use of resources is pivotal to our society’s well-being and survival. The vision of a healthy planet and healthy people is inspiring hundreds of research projects in institutes and academic units across UVM, in four distinct avenues of research…

Avenue of Research

Future-Facing Medicine

Anticipating the future of medicine, our research will unravel the factors that create both health and harm, addressing society’s need for integrated health at the individual, community, and global levels.

Viable Sustainability

To address the global climate crisis, we must merge society’s economic, environmental, and social goals. UVM will partner with private industry to prove that equitable, environmentally sound decisions can also be economically wise.

Alternative Agriculture

In an era when industrial-scale food and farm systems make produce less healthy and production less ecologically sound, society must reimagine its food systems structure. UVM research will help industry move beyond practices that harm health and habitats and toward a holistic vision of agriculture.
