The university’s internal faculty funding programs are some of the primary vehicles for Vanderbilt to invest in its faculty, fostering developments in discovery and learning that promote collaboration and advance disciplinary excellence.

VU BreakThru was established to highlight some of the currently-funded projects across all four programs, giving faculty members and students involved with the programs an avenue to communicate key accomplishments, research breakthroughs and much more.

The programs include:

• Trans-Institutional Programs (TIPs)
• University Courses
• Discovery Grant Program
• Research Scholar Grant Program
