Research

What the College does at the University of Nevada, Reno matters beyond our own campus. It is about focusing the College's limited resources toward solving urgent and vital problems Nevadans face. Our stakeholders’ greatest problems are not waiting for the right time to be solved; they are waiting for the right people to solve them. Those people are here.

Production agriculture
Training a scientific workforce committed to innovating the way food is grown, processed and distributed to meet and sustain the growing global demand for food.
Natural resources
Providing solutions for complex local, regional, national and global issues related to the management of natural resources.
Human health
Improving dietary recommendations by understanding variability in people’s responses to diets, nutrients and other food constituents.
Renewable energy
