Research & Innovation
SDSU President Malcolm A. Love, who served between 1952 and 1971, once declared, “No institution of higher learning can exist and not do research. Our primary aim is teaching, but research is concomitant.” Our faculty engage in cutting-edge research that focuses on important practical issues. Our research findings enrich our teaching and allow us to provide more valuable service to our community.
The efforts of our faculty have resulted in over $26.8 million in grants and contracts awarded for the 2025-2026 academic year. 15 funded centers and institutes are advancing research in the education field and providing services to the San Diego community and beyond.
