Research flourishes in our 22 departments across seven schools and departments\u00a0 as well as in dozens of centers, labs, and programs<\/a> that convene experts across disciplines to explore new intellectual frontiers and attack important societal problems. Our on-campus research capabilities are enhanced through the work of HiT Laboratories, active research relationships with industry, and a wide range of\u00a0global collaborations. In this work, the HiT Libraries serve as a crucial partner and a source of important research in their own right.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\"l1\"\n\t
