The Aggies Research Program is expanding and trasnisitoning to Aggie Collaborate

 

About the transition to Aggie Collaborate

The mission of the Aggie Research Program is expanding to meet the extraordinary needs of present moment. Since 2016, the Aggie Research Program has served over 10,000 participants by helping undergraduates, graduate students, research staff, and faculty create their own research and leadership opportunities by working collaboratively. The approach of breaching artificial boundaries separating disciplines, academic levels, and the institutional missions of research, teaching and education has been wildly successful. It must now be expanded. The Great Disruption of 2025 has caused a sudden reduction in research funding and the research workforce. Administrative capacity to address rapid changes has been overwhelmed. The acute impact on active research programs, research training, and research careers threatens a significant and sustained contraction of research capacity at Texas A&M and across the nation. The transition to Aggie Collaborate recognizes this existential threat by standing up three corps open to the entire Aggie Family:

• Aggie Research Corps
• Proposal Development Corps
• Academic Administration Corps

The Aggie Research Corps will incorporate the functions of the Aggie Research Program. Please visit our new site at AggieCollaborate.tamu.edu to learn how you can participate.
