The University of Pittsburgh has launched Proving Possible, a $3 billion fundraising campaign designed to expand opportunities for students, strengthen support for faculty and researchers, and accelerate discoveries with impact in Pittsburgh and beyond.
$1.5B invested in research
Fueling discoveries that transform our city, strengthen our state and shape our world.
With the launch of the Trivedi Institute for Space and Global Biomedicine, led by former NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, Pitt is set to accelerate discoveries made in spaceflight into lifesaving advances on Earth.
Future physician-scientist Satyaj Bhargava is advancing brain imaging research through innovative bioengineering. By developing algorithms that enhance visualization and analysis of cerebral blood vessels, his work could deepen our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and support earlier detection and improved treatment strategies for neurodegenerative disorders.
What goes into a $6.6 billion economic impact? Five diverse campuses, a robust research footprint and a partnership with one of the world’s largest academic medical and research centers make the University a critical contributor locally and across the state.
