Innovation

A major gift from alumni will provide the Princeton Bioengineering Initiative funding to pursue some of the biggest questions and opportunities emerging at the intersection of biology and engineering.

The Gilbert S. Omenn, M.D, '61 and Martha A. Darling *70 Fund for Grand Challenges in Bioengineering will allow the recently created initiative to move rapidly on several fronts, including hiring post-doctoral investigators, seeding research, and starting a series of lectures on technical and societal frontiers of bioengineering.

Seeking a detailed blueprint for early quantum computing applications, Princeton researchers have joined a multi-institutional effort to develop large-scale simulators to study complex quantum systems.

From addressing climate change to developing new ways of delivering vaccines, Princeton’s proposed engineering and environmental studies project will enable breakthrough teaching and research in the service of humanity while enhancing the public experience of the surrounding neighborhood.

Princeton researchers are highly encouraged to use and to login at the Research Funding Gateway, hosted by the Office of the Dean for Research and curated by the Office of Corporate Engagement and Foundation Relations. The Gateway is a portal site containing timely funding opportunities from internal Princeton sources, corporations, foundations, nonprofit organizations, and highlighted federal calls. It is best viewed using the Chrome or Firefox browsers.
