Research at Binghamton University is conducted in multiple venues. Some faculty members are primarily affiliated with their departments and conduct research that originates from questions in a particular discipline. However, the interdisciplinary nature of some of today's most pressing questions frequently requires expertise from several areas and/or departments. Often these cross-disciplinary connections develop into permanent working relationships.
Researchers have formalized these connections in federally designated institutes, through Binghamton University's Center of Excellence, through Organized Research Centers (ORC) and in Institutes for Advanced Study. These organizations often offer equipment and expertise that may be shared by experts on campus and beyond.
Research teams interested in becoming an ORC must apply. To view the Call for New Organized Research Center 2023, click here. To view the University's Guidelines for Organized Research Centers, click here.
