Policy puts plans into action and changes lives. We aim to create a network of experts and influencers to deliver solutions for the world’s biggest challenges and threats to human dignity.
Engineering For Action Fellowships
The world needs graduate engineering programs that teach specialized skills to design, build, and innovate for a better community. The Engineering for Action program enables Ph.D. students to devote their last year to translating their research into products that can change lives.
Postdoctoral and Graduate Training Programs
A strong research program elevates the student experience and the University’s impact on the world. It relies on graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Prestigious fellowships and a unique science training program allow us to recruit the best scholars and advance research in service to society.
Bioengineering and Life Sciences Initiative (BELS)
Only 8% of the more than 10,000 diseases affecting humans worldwide have a FDA-approved treatment. To foster radical collaboration and accelerate progress toward finding disease treatments, the Notre Dame Bioengineering and Life Science Initiative (BELS) will serve as an intellectual hub for scientific discovery and disease solutions.
The Psychology Clinic
Suicide, trauma, substance abuse, and health disparities require experts with proven track records in addressing these issues. By enhancing the Psychology Clinic with direct care for the community, cutting-edge research, and training programs, we support our specialized faculty and staff and effect positive change in people’s lives.
