The Office of Research and Engagement supports Penn State Altoona faculty and students in their research, creative practice, out-of-classroom academic activities, and community engagement.
Our students and faculty engage in a wide range of research projects and creative activities that benefit our local communities, businesses, and society at large. Our internationally recognized faculty conduct over $1 million in externally funded research every year. We support undergraduate research with over $200,000 in grants awarded directly to students working with faculty on cutting-edge projects that lead to promising careers in all fields.
