Each Vitality program operates independently, allowing it to develop unique approaches and strategies that align with its specific mission and focus area. Each program is entrusted with the freedom to govern itself while still following the basic principles of Vitality. While each program does have a focus area, in research, students will inherently explore just about every field of study. There may be many locations of the same focus area program as well as programs of different focus areas in the same location.
While autonomy is a cornerstone of Vitality, collaboration across programs is highly encouraged. Programs are invited to share ideas and resources with each other.Â
Each program operates within a framework of general guidelines that ensure alignment with the broader Vitality mission. Importantly, funding allocations are performance-based, with programs demonstrating a commitment to the Vitality mission earning funding. Programs may also raise funds independently, keeping 100% of the proceeds.
