Center for Applied Research
The Center for
Applied Research, a
department within Extended Services, serves as a “front door” for
businesses and organizations that wish to work with the University
of Southern Indiana. We mobilize the resources of the
University, including its faculty, students, and staff, to help
regional businesses and organizations thrive. |
WHAT WE DO
The
Center for Applied Research works with
businesses and organizations throughout the region to help leverage the
intellectual capabilities of the university. We match faculty,
staff, and
students with regional businesses and organizations to conduct research, consulting, and
other applied projects.
These projects can range from economic impact studies to new product
development. In addition, USI is the University partner for Downtown
Evansville’s Certified Technology Park, Innovation Pointe.
Our purpose is to actively engage faculty, staff, and students in our
regional community to share their expertise with businesses and non-profits.
This engagement will not only benefit the region, but will also help
these individuals in their career development.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
The Center can provide
assistance in many areas of expertise for your business or organization.
