The UTCSW’s faculty research extends far outside the walls of our locations in Stokely Management Center in Knoxville and Polk Avenue in Nashville. Faculty have been working on partnerships with researchers from around the University of Tennessee, other organizations within the state, and numerous universities nationwide and beyond. 

The collaborations broaden and deepen research, allowing the best of what the college has to offer alongside the best from outside the institution. If there is truly strength in numbers, the UTCSW is primed for great things. Below is a sampling of some of these notable collaborations.
