Tulane State of the University 2024
Tulane University has emerged as a leading research institution, with federal research funding increasing by over 75% in the past seven years and faculty gaining global recognition for work on topics like ancient societies, aging, coastal erosion, and disease. A notable achievement is the $23 million ARPA-H grant for the MAGIC-SCAN project, an interdisciplinary initiative in biomedical engineering and computer science aimed at improving cancer surgery outcomes. The university has revitalized its downtown campus with new research labs at Hutchinson Memorial Building and expanded infrastructure at the Tulane National Primate Research Center. The renaming of the Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, supported by a record $160 million donation, will further enhance research capabilities through scholarships, new centers, and discovery-driven spaces. Tulane has also fortified its campuses with 16 megawatts of backup power to safeguard research during weather disruptions, reflecting its dedication to transformative, collaborative, and innovative advancements in the research sphere.
