AAU universities conduct a majority of the federally funded university research that contributes to our economic competitiveness, health and well-being, and national security. AAU universities are growing our economy through invention and innovation while preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers for global leadership. By moving research into the marketplace AAU universities are helping to create jobs, and provide society with new medicines and technologies.
UMD geologists uncovered evidence of a section of seafloor that sank into the Earth's mantle when dinosaurs roamed the Earth; it's located off the west coast of South America in a zone known as the East Pacific Rise.

The world’s scientists rely on an elaborate network of technologies to help predict the weather and assess the global effects of climate change, But they are overlooking some of the most informative instruments of all: animals.
Every day beneath our feet, microbial decomposers tussle with soil minerals over a vast reservoir of carbon stored in the ground — and scientists know almost nothing about how this jostling plays out at the global scale.
Researchers have used CRISPR gene editing, stem cells and human neurons to understand the role of a gene that is commonly mutated in autism. A new study ties mutations in the gene CHD8 with a broad spectrum of molecular and cellular defects in human neurons.
A team of biomedical engineers has developed a new hydrogel-based delivery system that balances the acidic environment in a tumor and greatly enhances the cancer-fighting activity of the chemotherapeutic drug it encapsulates.
Mapping out brain networks in teenagers can help predict current and future risky drinking behavior, according to Sarah Yip, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and in the Yale Child Study Center.
