The Office of Innovation and Strategy advances MIT’s cross-disciplinary initiatives that turn research into impact.

As the administrative home for MIT’s presidential strategic initiatives, OIS provides the structure and support that help these efforts move quickly and effectively. Each initiative is led by its own faculty directors and dedicated staff, while OIS supplies shared resources in communications, industry engagement, finance and administration, and fundraising. Reporting through the provost’s office, OIS is positioned to strengthen alignment with Institute leadership and ensure these initiatives have what they need to deliver meaningful, long-term impact.
