Learning About the CR&I
Mission & Vision
Mission: The CR&I, a Christ-centered organization, amplifies the God-given talents and passions of students and faculty through innovative research, entrepreneurship, and partnerships; thereby invigorating the community and impacting the world.

We want students and faculty to be energized through innovative research and entrepreneurship, and thereby make a meaningful impact on the world.
Innovation is the intrinsic quality of an organization to identify and apply beneficial new solutions. At Taylor, we desire to foster a spirit of innovation with the Center for Research and Innovation (CR&I). The CR&I is a comprehensive entity that provides the resources necessary for faculty and students to pursue their dreams. These resources range from facilities and equipment, to seed funding, to administrative and expert support.
