From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies is the only comprehensive research institute on the University of Iowa campus. Located in the Office of the Vice President for Research, the purpose of the Obermann Center is to support the research mission of the University and to help share discoveries with a wide range of audiences. Its programs inspire, support, advance, and communicate research in its many forms. The Center incubates multi-disciplinary research projects and accelerates imaginative collaborations. Its public programming connects scholars across campus and engages the larger public in the work of campus artists and researchers. Obermann Center awards come with training in collaboration, grants management, and communications as well as guidance and backing from the Center's staff members.

Reaching across high impact areas such as research, discovery, engagement, and education, the Center has served faculty and graduate students from every College at the University of Iowa. Over the years, it has provided research support to nearly 1,700 faculty and graduate students.

Nearly 1,000 books and articles have resulted from Obermann-sponsored projects. Other outcomes include conferences, exhibits, performances, and new courses.
