Research Institutes at CU Boulder

Research Institutes

CU Boulder's 12 research institutes account for more than half of all sponsored research dollars at the university—and they employ some of the most productive researchers in the country. With more than 3,000 babyÖ±²¥app, researchers, students and supporting staff, the institutes make a major contribution to the university's research and education missions as well as the local and area economy.
