A Powerful Means for Doing Good
Through research, scholarship, and creative endeavor
Researchers at Notre Dame are inspired by its Catholic mission and founder Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C.’s vision for the University to be “one of the most powerful means for doing good” in the world. Notre Dame faculty and students pursue globally significant research, scholarship, and creative endeavor that advances discovery, fosters innovation, and drives lasting positive impact.
Notre Dame Research is committed to supporting researchers in doing what they do best: delivering cutting-edge, globally significant research, scholarship, or creative endeavor. That impact unfolds in a number of core facilities and resources, as well as in thematic research areas such as health and well-being, environmental sustainability, advanced computation and AI, and more. Faculty find their homes in one of Notre Dame’s seven colleges or schools.
