Knight Campus
The Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is a hub of discovery and innovation where teams of world-class bioengineers and bioscientists are dramatically shortening the timeline between discovery and societal impact through world-class research, training and entrepreneurship in a nimble scientific enterprise.
With your partnership, the Knight Campus is:
- Redefining the modern research university by fostering world-changing research unfettered by traditional academic boundaries
- Serving as the educational engine driving the new economy of Oregon
- Transforming student education through discovery-driven learning
- Engaging the public in the excitement and creativity of scientific research

Your support is essential! Your gifts allow us to compete with longer-established programs by offering undergraduate and graduate scholarships and fellowships to diverse and talented students to fuel discoveries and launch the next biotech start-ups that will drive Oregon’s economy.
Please consider supporting:
- The Knight Campus Bioengineering Fellowships: This fund provides awards and support for bioengineering graduate students. It will also be used to attract and retain top students by supporting their scholarly and entrepreneurial aspirations.
- The Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program: This fund provides scholarships and programmatic support to this fast-tracked master’s program, which has a 98% graduation rate and matches 90% of graduates with employment within three months of graduation, providing students with career-ready training and fueling the scientific and technical workforce in Oregon and beyond.
- Knight Campus Undergraduate Scholars: This fund provides support to this comprehensive research experience designed to develop the next generation of leading researchers. The program immerses a cohort of students in a full year of research in a Knight Campus-affiliated lab and is 100% reliant on philanthropy.
