A new study involving University of Arizona researchers suggests change is happening faster than trees can adapt. The finding offers "a word of caution for ecologists" studying climate change.

Proposals from more than 10 academic units were among the recipients of the 2023 Catalyst Seed Grants from Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP). The focus of the grants was the creation of new undergraduate research opportunities that are embedded in faculty- or staff-led projects.

Dr. Martha Bhattacharya, Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at UArizona, received the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the foundation’s most prestigious honor for junior faculty members. She will receive $1.1 million of funding over five years from the NSF's Division of Integrative Organismal Systems.

Building an AI tool to improve medical interviews is the continuing focus of a Vertically Integrated Project offered by Health Sciences Design.

The University of Arizona debuted its Wonder House at South by Southwest, giving attendees of one of the country's largest festivals a first-hand look at UArizona research and innovation.

Briana Pomales started her research on the DNA and migratory patterns of bees at Pima. Today, she is a research assistant and peer mentor at the University of Arizona.

This summer, the Arizona Institutes for Resilience launched its support for Vertically Integrated Projects, or VIPs, focused on inquiry and research into pressing environmental and resilience challenges. VIPs provide a compelling and authentic avenue for student engagement and collaboration as undergraduate and graduate students work alongside postdoctoral scholars and faculty members in long-term research with tangible outcomes.

What if a nursing student interested in improving quality of life for senior citizens could be put on a team with an engineering student and a computer science student? And what if instead of spending just 16 weeks getting their feet wet on the topic, they could help usher a project into existence semester after semester, watching it slowly unfold from start to finish?
