A sustainable society depends on the health and wellbeing of its people regardless of age, race, gender, or economic status. Through innovative research into health and disease, CAS researchers help to identify the behaviors, treatments, and cures that create and sustain human health.

Individual human health can only be achieved and sustained in the context of communities that value and support healthy behaviors and practices. CAS researchers seek to identify the elements of civil society that promote safety, security, justice, and wellbeing.

Just as healthy people depend upon their communities to support their values and choices, so too do we rely on our natural ecosystems for sustainable success. CAS researchers conduct innovative research that explore trends in the world to help prevent environmental degradation.
