Research with Real World Impact

At the UO, education is not just about acquiring knowledge. It's about using that knowledge to cultivate change that improves the lives of our communities.

Through our many research centers and institutes, the UO has a long history of innovation that can only be achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration. Our researchers receive funding from federal agencies, state governments, and private foundations, and our sponsored research and innovation efforts reward their investments by contributing tens of millions of dollars to Oregon’s economy each year.
