AIR science aims to serve society's needs by discovering solutions to modern challenges. This year, our specific research goals are to:

• Create 1-2 additional applied research centers or programs within AIR
• Establish a new endowed chair faculty position
• Host a series of knowledge-sharing events for interdisciplinary researchers

We are focused on expanding our education programs to provide more impactful opportunities for students. We are working to:

• Provide life-changing, paid experiential learning opportunities to even more students
• Establish a graduate interdisciplinary program in resilience practice that will prepare our future workforce to advance solutions across sectors

Water is a critical topic of our time, and policymakers, researchers, and engineers are rushing to find solutions together. Please help us to:

• Fund ongoing and new research projects in water quality and reuse
• Expand the university's academic capacity to support our communities, our partners, and our state decision makers in devising solutions for this critical resource
