Research & Innovation

Backed by VCU’s strategic research priorities plan and the university’s strategic plan, VCUarts research seeks to enrich the human experience and advance human health and well-being through exceptionally creative, collaborative and community-engaged research.

As we move from distinction to preeminence … we will innovate to change better, faster and with greater focus than our peers around the nation. And we will stay true to our roots of discovery in science, scholarship and creative expression to unfailingly serve the public good.

Michael Rao, Ph.D. President, VCU
