Research

Image

In partnership with leading institutions, industries, and communities across Los Angeles and around the world, USC research is bold, interdisciplinary, and future-facing. We break down barriers between fields to accelerate solutions to society’s most urgent challenges—climate, health, justice, and innovation.

Our goal is to empower every student and scholar to see research not as a siloed pursuit, but as a transformative tool for shaping a better world.
