At Pratt, research creates new futures that pave the way for a more equitable, just, and sustainable world. Our faculty, staff, and students lead research that deepens what we know about our world and the ways we engage within it.
Research at Pratt takes on many forms: our researchers design buildings, materials, products, and environments; they partner with community groups, government agencies, and other academic institutions. Our focus is both global and hyper-local, and our partnership network represents a diverse coalition of knowledge communities.
Our team is here to help you develop your ideas and find support for your research. Whether you’re working toward a funding opportunity or need project approval, we have resources available to streamline the process and broaden the impact of your work.
Our strategic partnerships enable us to realize impactful, cross-sectoral projects and programs with other academic institutions, government agencies, non-profits, and the private sector. We help faculty connect with collaborators and clients, to expand the reach of their research and benefit communities.
Research at Pratt is driven by the interests of our faculty, staff, students, and partners. It takes on many forms, from published scholarship to symposia, to product R&D and applied research programs. We conduct research in the classroom, through our Research Innovation Studios, and through projects and programs developed by our Faculty Research Fellows, Research Accelerators, and Provost’s Centers.
We are dedicated to empowering creative professionals with the tools and business literacy skills they need to develop and commercialize their work, lead and grow their businesses, and innovate in their fields.
We host events large and small at the Research Yard and across Pratt Institute’s Brooklyn and Manhattan campuses. If you have an idea for a conference, symposium, showcase, or other event you would like to host at the Research Yard, contact our team at research-partnership@pratt.edu.
