Research

Now it its sixth year, UMEC has completed a variety of projects and has several more underway. UMEC research will conclude in September of 2023. You can find details about our New and Ongoing Projects and read the final reports from all Completed Projects.

Don't feel like reading an entire report? Here is a selection of one-page Fact Sheets summarizing a few of our projects, and our two-minute videos do the same. Please note, not all projects have an accompanying Fact Sheet or Video.
