The Institute for Public Policy and Social Research applies research to pressing public policy issues and builds problem-solving relationships between the academic and policymaker communities. The Institute promotes and conducts research on issues of public policy, provides survey research services, produces public policy education and training programs, initiates discussion of society's most pressing needs among diverse audiences.

Matrix: The Center for Digital Humanities & Social Sciences works with museums, libraries, archives, and heritage sites to digitize, preserve, and provide access to collections of cultural and historical materials. We collaborate with scholars, educators, institutions, and community members to create tools and digital experiences that engage researchers, students, and the public in questions about the past and our shared culture. We build software and services that enable the analysis and interpretation of historical and cultural data in new and innovative ways. We work with students, scholars, communities, and institutions to build critical digital skills, capacity, and infrastructure.

The Center for Community and Economic Development is committed to creating, applying, and disseminating valued knowledge through responsive engagement, strategic partnerships, and collaborative learning. We are dedicated to empowering communities to create sustainable prosperity and an equitable economy.

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) is America’s premier rare isotope facility, serving more than 1,000 researchers from around the world, enabling them to explore the inner workings of atoms and their role in the universe. NSCL provides rare beams of rare isotopes, including new research capabilities with stopped and reaccelerated beams.

FRIB will enable scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes (that is, short-lived nuclei not normally found on Earth), nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry.

The Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) at Michigan State University is a supportive, professional resource for all university investigators.  Through collaborative efforts with investigators and clinicians, we each strive to catalyze and fuel the scientific process by providing interdisciplinary expertise and understanding to research teams. As a team, we leverage our collective experience to support scientific discovery and help overcome challenges and stumbling blocks. As a unit, CTSI endeavors to help advance and translate state-of-the-art science, arising from basic and clinical research, to practical use, providing tangible benefits to MSU, Michigan and the world.

IHP is a unit within the College of Human Medicine(CHM). The Institute serves a unique role facilitating and supporting collaborative relationships involving different stakeholders such as university and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) partners. These collaborative activities inform policymakers, state agencies and others with a goal of optimizing health and well-being in Michigan.
