Core research facilities provide highly specialized services, equipment, and staff that would otherwise be too expensive for a single laboratory or department to maintain. A variety of research cores are available to UConn faculty, including those housed in the Center for Open Research Resources and Equipment (COR²E).

Center for Environmental Sciences and Engineering (CESE) comprises more than 160 faculty members from the biophysical and social sciences, as well as from engineering and agriculture.  The Center’s mission is to lead and promote multidisciplinary research, education and outreach in environmental sciences, engineering, policy, and sustainability.

The Institute for Collaboration on Health, Intervention, and Policy (InCHIP) is a multidisciplinary research institute dedicated to the creation and dissemination of new scientific knowledge and theoretical frameworks in the areas of health behavior and health behavior change at multiple levels of analysis (e.g., individual, environmental, social, and policy)

The Innovation Partnership Building at the UConn Tech Park provides an ecosystem that inspires great ideas and collaboration between industry and academic scientists. At the IPB, cross-disciplinary research teams develop novel approaches to critical real world problems in fields ranging from manufacturing to biomedical devices to cybersecurity.

The mission of the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) is to increase the resilience and sustainability of vulnerable communities along Connecticut’s coast and inland waterways to the growing impacts of climate change on the natural, built, and human environment.

Connecticut Sea Grant is part of a national network comprised of 33 Sea Grant programs based at flagship universities in U.S. coastal and Great Lake states and territories.
