The Nature Conservancy works in Utah and around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. Spawned from the Ecologists Union 65 years ago, with University of Utah Professor Dr. Walter Cottam as a founding Board Member, the Conservancy currently employs over 700 scientists around the globe working to set conservation priorities, guide restoration efforts and implement land and water stewardship programs. In Utah, for more than three decades, the Conservancy has combined good science with good sense to help protect nearly 1 million acres of public and private land. As Utah grows, our expertise, pragmatism and collaborative approach continue to benefit Utah’s lands and waters while helping to leave a natural legacy for future generations to enjoy.

Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment

UPHE is dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of the citizens of Utah by promoting science-based health education and interventions that result in progressive and measurable improvements to the environment. With 3,000 members including approximately 400 doctors in Utah and more than 6,000 social media followers, UPHE has educated the public about the risks of air pollution on health for 10 years since we began in 2007.   UPHE’s outreach began around the Salt Lake County area, and has now expanded to other counties in Utah.  UPHE has provided in-depth, scientific and technical information to state and federal agencies on projects and rules that could affect public health in Utah.  Because of UPHE’s outreach efforts, Utah’s air quality is frequently covered by print and broadcast media and is often cited in polls as a top issue of concern for many Utahans. To further promote a healthy environment, UPHE’s outreach has focused on: The health effects of air pollution from Utah's oil and gas operations, refineries, incinerators, a pet coke plant, gravel pits and mining operations near populated areas; The value of more diesel emission testing; Water quality issues in Utah; and, The benefits of all forms of renewable energy and better mass transportation options.​

Utah Avalanche Center

The Utah Avalanche Center depends on science and engineering to help us help winter backcountry skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers, snowshoers, and others stay on top of the Greatest Snow on Earth.  We combine weather forecasts, remote weather station data, field observations of snow morphology , and recent avalanche activity to produce daily avalanche forecasts.  We use the latest research findings regarding human factors in complex decision-making environments and the latest information technology to best convey this information to our users in an attention-grabbing way. It seems pretty simple to just go enjoy a day in the snow, but a lot of science goes into providing people with the data they need to have fun and stay safe.

Wild Utah Project

The Wild Utah Project strives to: advance our mission of providing science-based strategies for wildlife and land conservation. We do this by filling gaps in the ecological science literature; and, by addressing threats to wildlife habitats through informing policy decisions via best science, supporting our partners with scientific support for their conservation campaigns, and engaging citizens in conservation science and science-based advocacy. We seek to bring positive change through science as long-time, prominent voices within the Utah conservation community, as we enthusiastically bridge the divide between scientific knowledge and public understanding by demonstrating collaborative expertise and tenacious persistence.

Tracy Aviary

Tracy Aviary's mission is to inspire curiosity and caring for birds and nature through education and conservation. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Tracy Aviary has grown and evolved over our 79 year history to become a cultural landmark, public garden, and every leader in environmental education and conservation. $1 from every admission and $2.50 from every membership fuel our conservation fund, which supports local and international avian ecology and conservation research. Our conservation science program includes ten citizen science projects located from south to north along the Jordan River, in the heart of downtown and up City Creek and Little Cottonwood Canyons. These research projects connect a broad and diverse community to science and empower local citizens to collect information that informs evidence-based policies, planning, and land stewardship to conserve avian populations.

Westminster College

The Great Salt Lake Institute (GSLI) connects people to Great Salt Lake through research and education. GSLI was established in 2008 with support from Westminster College and an external grant, allowing us to hire a coordinator, involve student employees, and purchase equipment to reach out to the community in a real way. We began by running community field trips and developing high school and college curriculum on GSL. Shortly thereafter, we created a GSLI summer undergraduate research program. Westminster College is uniquely situated between the Wasatch Mountains to the east and Great Salt Lake to the west. We are firmly rooted in an urban landscape in a major metropolitan area adjacent to one of the great terminal lakes of the world. Science faculty at Westminster College noted a general disinterest in the lake by community and research institutions alike and began researching this unique ecosystem.

Neuroscience Initiative

The University of Utah launched the Neuroscience Initiative in Fall 2014 to take steps towards alleviating the devastating effects of brain disorders. The initiative was created with a goal of deepening our understanding of the brain in disease and in health, and transforming this knowledge into innovative solutions for patient care. The University's $10 million commitment aligns with President Obama's BRAIN Initiative which calls upon universities, government agencies, and private organizations across the nation to develop new tools to map the trillions of connections within the human brain. Synergy between the Neuroscience Initiative and national efforts ensures that outcomes from the Neuroscience Initiative will impact not only Utahns, but patients worldwide.
