Giving
Bioengineering is booming with new discovery and promise, thanks to advances in genome sciences, molecular biology, nanotechnology, materials science, and information technology. UW Bioengineering has always been a pioneer in the field, and today the department ranks #1 in National Institutes of Health research awards to biomedical engineering programs and #1 in bioengineering inventions and patents.
But we need your help to secure our future as one of the nation's best programs—so we can accelerate a health-care revolution in electronic medicine, monitoring and diagnosis, and treatment. The need for private support has never been greater—and your gift can make an important difference to our students, our faculty, and our research.
Nationwide, academic bioengineering programs are proliferating. Securing federal and private funding has become intensely competitive. To expand our program and accelerate research productivity, UW Bioengineering must make major investments where they matter most—in the faculty and students who will lead and innovate in the 21st century.
All the nation's top bioengineering programs are recruiting from the same pool of talent. Private support provides critical leverage in our ability to offer competitive faculty compensation in this highly competitive marketplace. We must also compete for top students. The most promising graduate students are drawn to schools with nationally recognized faculty and exciting research opportunities, and—like the interlocking strands of the double helix—faculty are eager to join institutions with brilliant students who can help drive research forward.
Your gift can open doors for qualified and deserving students, reward and honor accomplished faculty, and allow us to maintain preeminence in our field, as well as to support innovators who will improve our lives in innumerable ways.
The College of Engineering can work with you to tailor a giving program to your wishes. Contact us to find out how you can make a difference.
