The mission of the Grant F. Walton Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis is to advance the development and application of geospatial information science and technology (remote sensing, geographic information systems, global positioning systems, computer simulation modeling) to address issues in the built and natural environment both locally and globally. As a multi-disciplinary research center our objective is to bring the best information to bear in place-based decision-making with the broader goal of promoting sound land, coastal and marine planning, natural resource and agricultural management.

The vision of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB Protein Data Bank) is to enable open access to the accumulating knowledge of 3D structure, function, and evolution of biological macromolecules, expanding the frontiers of fundamental biology, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Recognized experts in fields, including but not limited to, structural biology, cell and molecular biology, computational biology, information technology, and education serve as advisors to the RCSB PDB.

Founded in 2007 at the School of Social Work, the mission of the Center for Research on Ending Violence is to eliminate all forms of violence and the power imbalances that permit them. We accomplish our mission through a collaborative approach that focuses on multidisciplinary research, education, and community engagement.

The Whitcomb Center for Research in Financial Services, originally named the New Jersey Center for Research in Financial Services, has been active in funding research, acquiring up-to-date financial databases, and underwriting faculty and doctoral student participation in prominent academic conferences. Through its activities, the Whitcomb Center aims to promote and facilitate research in financial services, foster interaction between the academic and business/finance communities, and bring national recognition to the research being done at Rutgers Business School–Newark and New Brunswick.
