The College of Science (COS) promotes a collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment to inspire discovery and foster innovation. Science faculty and students pursue both fundamental and applied research in over 100 labs across campus. We bring unique talent and capabilities to four key areas of interdisciplinary research with global distinction: Marine Science, Biomedical Science, Materials Science and Data Science. These areas represent our global impact in research vital to human and animal life health, the sustainability of our planet, a strong economy with start-ups and innovative market solutions and scientific discoveries that solve our most pressing problems in these areas. The COS includes seven academic departments and key Research Centers and Facilities that span research across a variety of disciplines.
The Research Development Unit (RDU) within the College is focused on accelerating research growth by leveraging college resources to encourage faculty to address grand societal research challenges and target funding opportunities to increase the size and number of competitive research grants in alignment with the Oregon State University’s Strategic Plan SP4.0, the college’s diversity action plan, Embedding Equity, Access and Inclusion, and the College of Science’s Strategic Plan. The RDU designs and implements services to help faculty, staff and student investigators succeed in obtaining and maintaining intramural funding within Oregon State University (OSU), and extramural funding from federal agencies and foundation grants.
