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.
Novel research supported by NCI could lead to more specific predictive disease models
A new University of Kansas study reveals parents seeking health care information for their children trust AI more than health care professionals when the author is unknown, and parents rate AI generated text as credible, moral and trustworthy.

With the help of an advanced machine learning technique, researchers from Brown University suggest strategies for improving the performance of epidemiological models used to predict the course of pandemics.
In Science Advances, scientists report successfully freeze-drying specialized liposomes that could be developed for use in future vaccines
A University of Missouri paleontologist and team created 3D virtual models of armor plates from fossilized skeletons of ancient worms, discovering two new species in the fossil record.
Scientists have known for decades that a certain class of enzymes are an important player in cell biology because they frequently mutate and become major drivers of cancer. Biopharma companies are trying to develop drugs that target and inactivate these enzymes, known as phosphoinositide 3-kinase, or PI3K for short, because of their role in causing cancers in humans. But to do that, scientists need a detailed blueprint of the enzyme architecture, and UO biochemistry professor Scott Hansen is part of a group uncovering that diagram.
