Research is an integral part of a strong academic experience and a critical priority in NJIT’s 2025 Strategic Plan. The university aims for national and international prominence in research through new discoveries in areas ranging from medical sensors and devices to robotics, to nanotechnology, to cybersecurity, to next-generation materials, among other topics of vital importance in basic, applied and translational research.
Our research enterprise is comprised of core and transdisciplinary basic, applied and translational research interests through five research clusters:
National Academy of Inventors Chapter at NJIT celebrates the outstanding innovation and invention contributions of faculty, staff, and students. To quote NAI President Dr. Paul Sanberg, “NAI is proud to have NJIT, a true innovation powerhouse, as part of our membership. [NJIT has] created an environment where research and innovation flourish in such diverse fields as bioengineering, chemistry, medicine, computer science, and much more.” As a Member Institution of the NAI, NJIT has the exclusive opportunity to recognize active researchers and faculty with success in patents, licensing and commercialization at the national level through the Fellows and Senior Members Program.
Research with NJIT is a collaborative effort by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) and the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education (OSHE) to forge stronger connections between New Jersey’s research universities and industry.
