Research Emphasis 

Research Emphasis

InSTePP's operations are organized around specific research themes—each with its own set of research programs and projects, collaborating institutions and individuals, funding sources, and specific research and outreach objectives.

The Center's research focuses on (but is not limited to) the economics of science and technology practices and policies concerning the life sciences, especially the agricultural and health-related biosciences.

The Center's research is carried out by on-campus researchers and affiliates, most often in partnership with individuals and institutions elsewhere in the world.
