The Center for Sustaining the Urban Environment

The Center for Sustaining the Urban Environment (SUE) at the University of Cincinnati (UC) is a trans-disciplinary education and research Center. The Center at UC:

  • studies how urban infrastructure and environmental policies affect the long-term health and wealth of cities
  • develops and disseminates information regarding the scientific metrics, policies and technologies that promote the evolution of economically and environmentally sustainable urban regions

Environmental Engineering Research Center

Recently enhanced analytical and computational capabilities and higher strength materials have led to lighter, larger and more complex structures. To design them, the engineer must be able to evaluate their overall behavior, including their performance under possible heavy overloads of both static and dynamic (seismic, wind, blast) environments.

Center for Environmental Genetics

While most NIH and other federal grants fund research projects, the NIEHS Center Grants are funded to increase the amount and quality of Environmental Health Sciences research, recruiting new investigators to the Environmental Health Sciences field, educating young investigators, and developing facilities to improve the research at both the University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

University of Cincinnati Research Center

The University of Cincinnati, classified as a "very high" research university by the Carnegie Commission and ranked as one of America’s top public research universities, is an institution with a rich history in discovery and innovation.
