What research is done in Boise?

Papers authored at Boise's institutions — Boise State University, Boise VA Medical Center, St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center — with the Prism stance layer.

Summary

Boise's research engine is overwhelmingly Boise State: 1123 of 1166 papers come from the university. The strongest opportunity themes are education, machine learning and STEM, with climate change and children's health also drawing caution.

WATCH Watch whether strong university work converts into companies and employer demand.
Research outlook for Boise

What the papers — written in the city and about it — point to, split by the Prism stance layer: work that reads promising versus work that flags problems or urges caution.
