Humanity's Grand Challenges
With great pride, UMD is investing $30M into 50 projects across our campus to design impactful solutions to humanity's greatest and most complex problems. Congratulations to all the Grand Challenges winners whose research and action moves us fearlessly forward.
Let us unite in support for one another to build a culture of care that focuses on the well-being and support for every member of our community, so that we may all fully participate and thrive in our world.
