In alignment with Brown’s strategic plan, Building on Distinction, the Operational Plan for Investing in Research is the detailed roadmap for propelling Brown’s research and scholarship to a new level of excellence. 

The research Brown produces plays a critical role in benefiting communities locally, nationally and around the world. With increased investment in research across all disciplines — in areas ranging from treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and unraveling the mysteries of RNA, to confronting social and economic inequality, addressing climate challenges, and deepening our understanding of the historical and cultural legacies that shape current issues — Brown stands ready to make a transformative impact on the lives of individuals, families and society.
