Projects
On this page we’ll post a variety of Research Partnership efforts underway, with links to additional information and updates. Below appears a compilation of current initiatives.
Jefferson Laboratory / 12 GeV Upgrade
Jefferson Laboratory’s 12 GeV upgrade will allow scientists to pursue with even greater precision and resolution JLab’s primary mission of studying the basic building blocks of matter. Physicists will be able to employ new methods to study the basic properties of the particles known as quarks: how they are formed, how they interact, and the forces that mediate their interactions. Through experiments aimed at revealing these and other secrets of matter, physicists will use an upgraded electron accelerator to contribute to Jefferson Lab's goal of pushing knowledge of nuclear and particle physics well beyond its current level.

NASA Langley Research Center / CLARREO
The Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission is being developed by NASA and partner organizations to monitor the pulse of the atmosphere to better understand climate change. CLARREO was identified as a mission of national importance in a report known widely as the Decadal Survey. The study addresses key scientific questions and societal objectives on which to focus future Earth and environmental observations. CLARREO is intended to provide accurate, credible and tested climate records that lay the groundwork for informed decisions on mitigation and adaptation policies that address the effects of climate change on society.

Old Dominion University / Innovation Research Park
Old Dominion University has created Innovation Research Park, a unique enterprise zone that co-locates world-renowned scientific talent and research capabilities with high-tech, private-sector expertise. The Park resides in the 75-acre, mixed-use University Village on the ODU campus. As one of the only research parks in the nation to be located on the campus of its research institution, the Park sits at the heart of ODU's intellectual capital, research infrastructure and student/faculty talent.

Virginia Institute of Marine Science / Infrastructure Improvements
As one of the largest facilities of its kind in the United States, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science maintains a comprehensive suite of research laboratories, provisioned with the analytical instruments and cutting-edge field equipment needed to address the challenges facing the Chesapeake Bay and the coastal ocean. Infrastructure improvements have enlarged VIMS capacities, which include advanced research in areas such as computer modeling, genetics, geochemistry, immunology, pathobiology, physical oceanography and toxicology.
