Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC)

High Performance Computing (HPC) is becoming a competitive differentiator for institutions vying for top researchers, including faculty in the arts, humanities and social sciences. At UC, HPC users from every college and unit are collaborating with colleagues from more traditionally research-intensive fields such as biomedicine and engineering, thus creating an even higher demand for HPC resources at UC.

UC’s Advanced Research Computing Center (ARCC) establishes a high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure that supports and accelerates computational and data-enabled research, scholarship, and education across the entire University of Cincinnati research enterprise.

Alliance for Arts in Research Universities (a2ru)

The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) advances the full range of arts-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice to acknowledge, articulate, and expand the vital role of higher education in our global society. Through our institutional engagement and a2ru programming, the UC Office of Research acknowledges arts-integrative research and believes in the seamless integration of the arts in the pursuit of basic knowledge and in applied research.

Armstrong Institute for Space, Technology, and Research

University of Cincinnati Armstrong Institute for Space, Technology, and Research aims to use the knowledge and competencies of our faculty, students, and partners to continue Ohio's extensive legacy of contributions to aviation and spaceflight.

National Humanities Alliance (NHA)

As part of the Office of Research objective to build new connections that promote research across all disciplines, it proudly supports the University of Cincinnati’s partnership with the National Humanities Alliance (NHA).

UC’s collaboration with the NHA provides humanities faculty with opportunities to travel to NHA conferences, advocacy training in Washington D.C., NEH program officer meetings, and congressional visits to promote humanities research and education both on the local and grand scale.

THE NEXT CULTURE OF RESEARCH

The Next Culture of Research initiative at UC is a strategic initiative of Research2030, UC’s 10-year plan for research. Our initiative is 3-pronged and is composed of The Next Culture of Research Fellowship, The Next Culture of Research Advisory Council and The Next Culture of Research Digest. The Next Culture of Research Initiative is aligned with UC’s Next Lives Here Strategic Direction which has a major focus on Inclusive Excellence.

Next Lives Here: Urban Futures Pathway

Urban Impact research at the University of Cincinnati is that which addresses social, economic and health challenges posed by urbanization. As a part of next lives here, the Urban Futures Pathway was established to advance research at UC that reimagines and reshapes the future through impactful, applied research for social transformation. Urban Futures is foundational to the University of Cincinnati’s Strategic Direction and is now a major pillar of Research2030, UC’s 10-year strategic plan for research.

Urban Futures comprises four strategic initiatives:  Digital  Futures, the Community Change Collaborative (C3), Sustainability@UC, and the Non-profit Leadership Initiative. The guiding principal and goal of each is Collaborative problem solving to improve people’s lives.

• Digital Futures: High-tech, use-inspired research that addresses complex problems
• Community Change Collaborative (C3): Community-engaged research with measurable impact
• Sustainability@UC: Climate change action and research
•  Non-Profit Leadership Initiative (NPLI): Developing and connecting UC leaders to support non-profits in our region
