Centers and Institutes - Many UB faculty pursue their unique interests by combining their talents and expertise in research centers and institutes, sustained in large part by their own time and effort and the external support they attract. Some of these enterprises receive institutional start-up support to further the research goals of the University or to provide essential services for the research enterprise.
