Research will also be an important aspect of the institute’s role, galvanizing the Haas faculty’s thought leadership in areas ranging from corporate social responsibility and multi-sector leadership to fraud, corruption, and ethics; environmental governance; poverty; health efficacy; gender parity; and more. The institute will house several of the school’s current centers and programs that already provide courses, activities, and research spanning the for-profit, nonprofit, and public sectors. They include: The Center for Nonprofit and Public Leadership, which works with organizations whose mission is to improve social and environmental sustainability. The Center for Responsible Business, which integrates social and environmental goals into the business models of for-profit enterprises. The Graduate Program in Health Management, which trains students for the future of health finance, health systems, and new innovations in health care. The Haas Global Social Venture Competition, which is the nation’s largest student-run competition for approaches to social and environmental challenges. The Institute is also launching an initiative on the impact of women on business and the economy. Through classes, applied research, a speakers' series, and seminars with leading executives, this program will explore strategies to foster the advancement of women in corporate management, entrepreneurship and nonprofit leadership.
