Mission

Our mission is to establish and support collaborative applied research ties with individuals and institutions across the American continents.  We support Texas State University faculty and students as they seek opportunities for academic collaborations in teaching and research.  We support public and private institutions that seek advice for resolving problems of common interest to Texas State University faculty.  

We are a dynamic interdisciplinary center with much specialized expertise.  Our foci are constantly changing as we focus on the issues that are most important across the Americas and to the University. Currently, CIAAR seeks collaborative projects that focus our expertise on 4 core areas:

  • Biodiversity and Sustainability
  • Criminal Justice, Law and Policy
  • Environment, Water and Development
  • Materials Science and Engineering

Many of the faculty members involved in the center are simultaneously involved in other University and departmental centers.  As such, CIAAR has access to an extended group of experts and facilities.  While these are the areas where CIAAR currently seeks to build collaborative relationships, we support our faculty in all aspects of international collaboration.
