PCI provides an incubation and growth mechanism for new interdisciplinary centers and initiatives that will benefit from parallel computing; by expanding access to computing resources and infrastructure; by teaching critical skills; by identifying more opportunities for funding; and by helping to establish key external partnerships.

The mission of the Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL) is to use research and evaluation methods to improve policies, programs, and practices that enhance community college education and the transition to college for diverse learners at the state, national, and international levels.

The TCBG brings the most advanced molecular modeling, bioinformatics, and computational technologies to bear on questions of biomedical relevance. We extend, refine and deliver these technologies in response to experimental progress and emerging needs of the wide biomedical research community. We magnify the impact of our work through direct collaboration with experimental researchers, the distribution of cutting-edge and user-friendly software, and via extensive training, service, and dissemination efforts.

Neuroproteomics and Neurometabolomics Center on Cell–Cell Signaling provides proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics technologies to biological collaborators at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and to members of the neuroscience community at other institutions in the United States and throughout the world. Our Center is built around the overarching theme of cell-cell signaling to advance state-of-the-art proteomics/metabolomics technologies focused on the study of addiction mechanisms in the central nervous system.

The National Center for Professional & Research Ethics (NCPRE) is dedicated to creating and supporting academic cultures of excellence: excellence in mission quality; excellence in exemplary leadership; and excellence in ethical and responsible conduct.

The M-CNTC is training the next generation of leaders who will define the new frontiers and applications of nanotechnology in cancer research.

The goal of the MSI is to sustain a vibrant microbial sciences research and training enterprise at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Illinois microbial systems research addresses critical problems in health, agriculture, energy, and many other sectors. The MSI carries out ongoing activities to build collaboration across disciplines, provide world class training opportunities, and build environments of inclusive excellence.

HMNTL is one of the country's largest and most sophisticated university facilities for conducting photonics, microelectronics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology research. Our 15 class 100 and 1000 cleanrooms, 46 general purpose labs, and 2,500 square foot biosafety level-2 bionanotechnology complex contain all the tools researchers need to conduct their work.

Established in 2009, the Lemann Center for Brazilian Studies promotes teaching and research about Brazil by faculty and students at Illinois and their Brazilian counterparts, who take advantage of the extensive resources available at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Building on long-standing collaboration with Brazilian scholars in economics and agriculture, as well as nearly a half-century of teaching and research in Brazilian literature and history, the center fosters knowledge and understanding of Brazil across disciplines and colleges.
