As an active research university, UNCW students, faculty and staff are advancing the frontiers of knowledge, solving critical world problems, and enhancing the economic and cultural vitality of our community.
Gifts supporting the research and innovation enterprise provide resources that enable faculty and students to conduct ground-breaking research and inform real change in our coastal region, our state and beyond.
