San José State University is a major, comprehensive public university located in Silicon Valley. The founding campus of the California State University system, SJSU takes pride in a faculty and student body that is active in hands-on learning, research, community service and the arts. What powers us changes our world.

As an integral part of the Division of Research and Innovation, the SJSU Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that provides administrative and business support to the campus research enterprise. In doing so, we are continually inspired by the intellect, creativity, and dedication demonstrated by our principal investigators, who explore groundbreaking scientific theories, conduct progressive engineering research, and lead initiatives that transform the community.
