Use-Inspired Research
ASU believes that you should measure the value of research by the impact it has on society. ASU encourages its scholars to pursue research that will impact society, conduct that research in a way that recognizes its potential impact, and share it with people in a way for it to make that impact. This idea shapes one of ASU’s goals: whatever the research encompasses, the university will measure success by looking at the ways in which that research has changed patterns in society. This could be a social scientist figuring out how to help politicians make better decisions. Or it could be a bioengineer working to make a cancer vaccine. Whatever the topic, the goal is: impact.
