Research Impact Partners

The Institute has been working since the 1970's in providing assessment of employee engagement and organizational effectiveness with governmental and nonprofit organizations.

The Engineering Student Success Center provides special programming through workshops, student leadership opportunities and welcoming spaces that help all students have a wonderful experience to aid in positive educational outcomes.

The Environmental Science Institute (ESI) was founded as a multi-disciplinary institute for basic scientific research in environmental studies. The Institute serves as a focal point on campus for a wide scope of interdisciplinary research and teaching. ESI coordinates cross-departmental environmental science instruction; facilitates education and outreach in STEM fields; and disseminates advances in the area of enviromental science that are important locally and globally. ESI coordinates innovative educational outreach programs that work together to support awareness of science, technology, engineering and math, promost better communication of scientific research, and ultimately spark an interest in science and learning. Host Science - Cool Talks provides a front row seat to world-class research. Presented by ESI, this nationally recognized series allows leading researchers from UT and other prominent universities to share their passion about science, technology, engineering and math with the general public. Events are held six times a year (on-campus or virtually).

EPIC's mission is to broaden participation in K20 computing pathways through research, outreach, professional development, and policy advocacy. (PK-12 students and teachers)

The Freshman Research Initiative (FRI) gives first-year students the opportunity to initiate and engage in real-world research experience with faculty and graduate students.

GeoFORCE Texas develops the next generation of STEM workforce through participation in traveling in-person and virtual field academies. Students travel throughout the U.S. for 1 week in the summer for 4 consecutive years learning about geologically relevant field sites from experts in Earth science. Student recruitment is focused on 8th grade students, application is required for selection into the program, and participation is free.

The Libraries provides geographic information system (GIS) and geospatial data services for university faculty, students and staff across all disciplines and departments. We can help ensure that you have the software, data, technical training, and other resources you might need to successfully carry out any type of geospatial research project. Our goal is to facilitate geospatial research at the university by helping scholars overcome the technical challenges of working with geographic information in all phases of the research lifecycle.

This team supports training for Dell Med researchers and learners conducting translational investigation, as well as the development of an integrated learning health system in which research is embedded in, drives and reinforces excellence in clinical, educational and community-focused missions.

The University of Texas High School Research Initiative is a scientific inquiry program focused on training teachers in rural high schools across Texas to successfully lead independent project based research experiences for high school students, infuse inquiry into existing curriculum, and use innovative resources to support inquiry in the classroom. The program provides access to training, resources, and undergraduate mentors to facilitate flexible modular experiences in the health sciences for high school classrooms.

The summer High School Research Academy provides high school students with an immersive and hands-on five-week interdisciplinary research experience at the University of Texas at Austin campus. (Including 9th-12th grade students)
