Our Mission

The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program is designed to facilitate long-term, high-impact research projects at KSU. These projects involve large teams that include faculty and students along with anyone else who may contribute, such as postdocs, staff, community members, collaborators at other institutions, etc.

The VIP Consortium is a collection of higher education institutions who are committed to fostering these partnerships.
