Seventeen cross-disciplinary projects involving 153 faculty from all 10 Vanderbilt colleges and schools were selected for the initial set of awards from the Trans-Institutional Program (TIPs) initiative. The projects represent a broad range of research and teaching, with diverse topics such as preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes, big data infrastructure and private governance approaches to climate change. 

Written by the faculty members and students involved with the projects, these blog posts will give readers a behind-the-scenes view into the major accomplishments being achieved.
