Welcome from the Executive Director, Chancellor Emeritus Charles R. Bantz
For the past 15 months, we have seen amazing examples of IUPUI faculty, staff, and students translating research into practice - including a pioneering COVID-19 study with random sample surveys of Indiana, Peter Schubert's work on renewable energy, which earned him the 2020 Bantz-Petronio TRIP Award, and other amazing projects across campus. The Center for TRIP's mission is to champion translational work and connect researchers and community partners to solve complex problems. This newsletter is another channel to share the work that is being done and encourage new connections. Please share with us what you are doing. Take care - Charles.
