At UC San Diego, our $1.2 billion research enterprise transforms the way we see and understand the world. The Office of Research Affairs works with partners across campus and the region to ensure that innovative projects like the Alliance for Binational Border Solutions, the Bioregional Gateway, and the Qualcomm Institute’s Cultural Heritage Engineering Initiative are equipped with the resources they need to pursue revolutionary ideas, unexpected answers, lifesaving discoveries, and planet-changing impact.
The Alliance for Binational Border Solutions is a partnership designed to foster collaboration among government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and industry partners on both sides of the border to solve increasingly complex problems facing our border communities including health, education, environment, security, inequality, and migration.
The Bioregional Gateway unites academic and government partners in Mexico and the U.S to establish an open-access mapping and visualization resource that researchers and community members can use to help design and carry out innovative approaches to climate change, green infrastructure, renewable energy, food and water security, and environmental health.
