The University of Texas at El Paso has made great strides in building capacity and creating an environment of growth for research. With $91 million in annual research expenditures in FY 2018, UTEP is designated a top tier research university by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. This achievement is due in part to the capital investment the University has made in research equipment and facilities, an investment that has facilitated the recruitment and retention of faculty who successfully compete at the national level. UTEP’s success also is enhanced by the supportive climate for research, creative, and scholarly activities in all of the University’s colleges.

Through this portal you will find information on current research initiatives, funding opportunities, research programs, research policies and procedures, opportunities for collaboration and procedures for licensing innovations produced by research.
