Research is more than institutional progress; it is how we broaden society’s understanding of the world and improve our quality of life. As the state’s land-grant university, the University of Idaho is progressing on many fronts to improve quality of life for Idaho’s citizenry. Our 2020 Research Report, Inspired Discoveries, tells a story of record-breaking growth in our research enterprise and paints a vivid portrait of the innovations that advance Idaho’s economy, as well as the research that embodies our ongoing commitment to solving the challenges of our state, the nation and the world.
