An annual funding initiative to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration across UNH
CoRE reached its 5th year anniversary! To celebrate, we took a look back at the program and its impact with a series of stories and infographics. Check it out!
UNH holds a deep commitment to interdisciplinary research and academic excellence to address issues facing UNH, our state, region, and beyond. CoRE supports this vision by providing five funding opportunities that collectively reinforce a broad culture of interdisciplinary exchange, collaboration, team development and success, planning, and support.
CoRE is funded through the Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Research, Economic Engagement, and Outreach to support interdisciplinary and collaborative efforts driven by UNH researchers that address local, regional, and world issues. To-date, CoRE investments have been leveraged for over $44M in additional external funding for UNH research activities.

- Interdisciplinary Working Groups support groups of faculty to convene around research topic areas to build awareness and relationships across disciplines, allow for cross-fertilization of ideas, identify potential collaborative research opportunities, and provide a venue for finding partners.
