Winning tomorrow starts with research at the U.


From drought to disease, the problems of today demand solutions. At the University of Utah, we use federally funded research to discover new ways to win the fight for a better world, where impossible dreams can become reality, and breakthroughs advance humanity.

Our labs, clinics and classrooms are a training ground for solutions that have real-world applications, but their value and impact doesn’t stop there. As an R1 research institution, the U helps pump an annual $1.6 billion into Utah’s economy. Above that, every dollar invested in public education more than doubles its return. Our work directly impacts Utah’s status as No. 1 in the nation for innovation capacity and No. 3 as the fastest-growing state for the life sciences industry.

Our research is at risk of losing its federal funding, but you can champion the work that keeps us moving forward.

Here, winning research is a win for us all.

Take Action

As a reminder, employees who engage in political activities must do so outside of work hours (or while on approved leave), and they must use their own resources. This means that employees should not use university email accounts, university letterhead, university office supplies and equipment or other university resources to engage in these activities. In addition, employees are expected to make it clear that they are speaking on their own behalf and not on behalf of the university.
