Grand Challenges

Grand Challenges are ambitious, societally-relevant, and transdisciplinary. They connect scholars across the university, and create partnerships across sectors to add value to our scholarly work, while addressing the complexity of today’s challenges. Grand Challenges recruit and engage faculty and students in scholarly activities at Boise State, building our capacity for research and creative activity. These challenges, as described and established by members of Boise State, will lay the foundation for the path of the university in terms of its future strategic goals and initiatives.
