At the Atkinson Center, we know that planetary health doesn’t encompass just one ecosystem or one species, and that sustainability solutions cannot be limited to one field of inquiry.

That’s why we empower question-asking, creative-thinking, risk-taking researchers from all disciplines to be part of the innovation conversation.

Founded by a generous gift from David and Pat Atkinson, the David R. Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future empowers faculty to think outside of their departments and across disciplines when it comes to tackling the world’s greatest challenge—creating a vital and resilient future for the global community. By providing start-up funding for cross-college collaborations, emergency research, and partnerships with non-profits, government, and industry, the Atkinson Center supports the pioneering risk-takers at the very heart of radical collaboration through multiple funds and fellowship programs.
