Funding Priorities: Building a Foundation

Pursuing the promise of the future and meeting the rapidly changing needs of science and technology require substantial ongoing investments in people, programs, and facilities. Faculty salaries, student fellowships, and equipment purchases are some of the building blocks that make our programs among the best in the world. The following are particularly vital areas of investment for meeting our teaching and research missions.
