Impact 

We make connections that push research forward and make our world more sustainable. 

SUPPORTING ONE HEALTH

Boosting Purdue’s One Health Data Engine 

Western Digital awarded 1.2 petabytes of storage to Purdue, powering the new One Health Data Engine (POHDE) — a facility supporting data-driven research from climate and ecosystems to human and animal health. 

Building stronger research teams 

ISF supports the formation of interdisciplinary research teams to tackle today’s complex challenges. Through calls for interest, funding opportunities, and active collaboration, ISF helps faculty build strong partnerships. Our professional staff and leadership are committed to advancing excellence and increasing success in securing support.  

Industry Partners

ISF’s Industry Partnership program connects companies with Purdue researchers and students across sustainability fields. Partnerships can support collaborative research, shape the educational pipeline, and provide access to experts across disciplines. 

Supporting the Next Generation Workforce

The Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship (DUIRI) program gives undergraduates the chance to take on dynamic, real-world research challenges. Through support from the Institute for a Sustainable Future, students can contribute to projects that address today’s most pressing sustainability issues — gaining hands-on experience, building valuable connections, and preparing to become the next generation of researchers and leaders.
