Cross-cutting Initiatives

Providing generous financial support for graduate students includes increasing funding for university fellowships, establishing a tuition match program, and increasing graduate student living stipends and key benefits.

Yale’s commitment to excellence is supported in part through the Faculty Excellence and Diversity Initiative, the Emerging Scholars Initiative, and the Science, Technology and Research Scholars Program.

This new initiative serves as the university’s home for entrepreneurship and innovation efforts, offering training and support for faculty, student, staff, and community innovators to transform their research into products, services, and social ventures. It includes the Blavatnik Fund for Innovation at Yale, which combines business expertise, intensive guidance, and essential funding to support innovative, Yale investigator-initiated research.

Housed in the Physical Sciences and Engineering Building, this central resource for staff, researchers, and faculty engaged in developing instrumentation and advanced technologies will foster interdisciplinary initiatives across campus and beyond.

The transformation of SEAS into a distinct faculty focusing on initiatives in artificial intelligence, biological systems, materials science, mathematical modeling, and “robotics for humanity” allows the school to reimagine its culture, expand its research, and optimize its partnerships both within and outside Yale.

To build on the school’s historic strengths and ensure its future excellence, it will transition into a self-supporting, independent school, supported by a pledge of $150 million of endowment funds toward YSPH’s teaching, research, and practice.

A pledge of $100 million in matching funds to support the development of future leaders in these fields will increase access, foster advancements in health equity, and enhance the quality of health care for everyone.

This university-wide initiative, led by the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health, is designed to combat complex global health problems through innovative scholarship, education, and service. It serves as the focal point for research, collaboration, and engagement of global partners to improve the health of individuals and populations worldwide.

Investments in equipment help support a diverse range of scientific work on campus, including cryo‐electron microscopy, cell sorting and microscopy, and materials manufacturing.

Centered along the southern stretch of Prospect Street and Hillhouse Avenue, the Yale Center for Engineering Innovation and Design, the Greenberg Teaching Concourse of the School of Engineering & Applied Science, and the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale (Tsai CITY) help nurture creative thinking and entrepreneurial solutions to real-world problems.

This new building serves as a central hub for interdisciplinary collaboration and boasts cutting-edge technology, from the wet-bench labs of the Quantitative Biology Institute to the cryo-electron microscopy facility to the greenhouse built directly onto the roof.

Changes in the distribution of net income generated by new technologies help encourage the translation of faculty research into products and services that benefit society.
