	Public Health A. Leads: Dr. Dorothy Browne, Dr. Goldie Byrd (A&S), Dr. Mohamed S. Admedna (Agr.) B. College of Arts & Sciences, School of Agriculture, School of Nursing C. Academic Tie: Institute of Public Health
	Biotechnology & Bio Sciences A. Leads: Dr. Guochen Yang (Agr.) & Dr. Mary Smith (A&S) B. School of Agriculture, Technology; Colleges of Engineering, Arts & Sciences C. Academic Tie: Proposed Biotechnology Graduate Program
	Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology A. Leads: Dr. Jag Sankar (Eng) & Dr. Solomon Bililign (A&S) B. Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering; Schools of Agriculture, Technology C. Academic Tie: Ph.D. Program in Mechanical Engineering
	Computational Science & Engineering A. Leads: Dr. Guoqing Tang (A&S) & Dr. Ram Mohan B. Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering; Schools of Agriculture, Technology C. Academic Tie: Graduate Program in Computational Science and Engineering
	Leadership & Community Development A. Lead: Dr. Robert Pyle (Tech) & Ms. Cynthia Clemons (Bus) B. All Colleges and Schools C. Academic Tie: Ph.D. Program in Leadership

	Energy & Environment A. Leads: Dr. Abolghasem Shahbazi (Ag) & Dr. Shamsuddin Ilias (Eng) B. Schools of Agriculture, Business; Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering C. Academic Tie: Ph.D. Program in Energy & Environment

Each Cluster is led by two or three research faculty members who drive development of research cluster programs. These Cluster co-leads have the expertise to direct Cluster activities and to engage other faculty. Co-leads are currently spearheading cohesive, comprehensive, synergistic programs that lead to the development of interdisciplinary proposals and funding opportunities.

The Research Clusters allow the University to more effectively focus its capabilities, match the requirements of funding agencies, support interdisciplinary research and provide opportunities for faculty participation in sponsored programs.
