Thirteen interdisciplinary projects, ranging from cellular processes and smart cities to global health care issues, were selected as the 2016 awardees of the Trans-Institutional Program (TIPs) initiative. These projects, which involve more than 100 faculty from all of Vanderbilt’s 10 colleges and schools, are helping to advance discovery and learning, with many of them providing cutting-edge immersion experiences for students. 

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.
