When Great Minds Collaborate, Fresh Ideas Emerge

Waksman Institute of Microbiology

Centers & Institutes

Bring sharp thinkers together on an issue, and innovative solutions emerge. Great minds are the engines behind more than 200 Rutgers research centers and institutes, places that make important and lasting contributions to the world’s body of knowledge. These centers are often collaborative, interdisciplinary beehives of thought, where faculty and students from different fields, schools, and academic departments come together to attack and solve problems from all angles.

From the internationally acclaimed Waksman Institute of Microbiology to the pioneering Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience to the unique Center for Children and Childhood Studies, Rutgers research centers have been forging solutions for nearly 130 years.

The Eagleton Institute of Politics

Eagleton Institute of Politics

Florence Peshine Eagleton, a suffragist and founder of New Jersey’s League of Women Voters, made the bequest that established the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers in 1956. Today, Eagleton faculty and staff work closely with political practitioners and scholars from around the state and across the nation to accomplish Florence Eagleton’s ambitious goal: “the development of and education for responsible leadership in civic and governmental affairs and the solution of their political problems.”

To whet your appetite, we invite you to explore a sampling of off-campus facilities administered by the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.

Cranberry Research for the Garden State


New Jersey is the third-largest cranberry producer in the United States. In the heart of the New Jersey Pinelands, where New Jersey cranberries are grown, is Rutgers’ Philip E. Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Research and Extension. The center helps New Jersey growers apply scientific principles to increasing crop yields, an urgent need as development restrictions in the environmentally sensitive Pinelands largely prohibit expansion and the establishment of new cranberry bogs. The center also develops cranberry pesticides that are safer than broad-spectrum formulas, now often banned due to health and environmental concerns, and studies the medicinal properties of cranberries, with recent research linking cranberry compounds to urinary tract health and more effective treatments for ovarian cancer.

Topic of Study:
Community Impact of Hospital Closings

The closing of an acute care hospital facility almost always presents lingering challenges to the host community. What are the social and economic impacts to a community when a hospital closes? What are the short-term, intermediate, and long-term effects on health services delivery, access to and quality of health care services? These and other issues were discussed by area experts and community representatives when the Joseph C. Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Studies hosted its fifth annual forum, “Investigating the Impact of Hospital Closings on the Consumer, Community, and Service Providers,” on June 10, 2009, at Rutgers–Newark.
