The SLI Research Fund supports issue-focused research that addresses some of the most pressing challenges facing our global society. Funded projects explore real-world questions with academic rigor and societal relevance - from AI to tax policy to new business models for healthcare.
Over 60 GSB faculty members are engaged in active research on these issues, with more than a third collaborating across the university. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across Stanford and beyond, the fund stimulates new ideas and approaches.
