Our most important need is for graduate fellowships. These will help us attract the best candidates into our highly productive Ph.D. program, and thus improve our chances of winning research funding and placing more of our Ph.D.s as professors in universities around the world.
In early 2018, the Clark School of Engineering opened the doors to A. James Clark Hall - a custom-designed home for the Fischell Department of Bioengineering and the Robert E. Fischell Institute for Biomedical Devices. This 184,000-square-foot building signals a new era for the university and for human health advancements everywhere.

Discretionary funds for professors have multiple effects. Discretionary funds to help new faculty set up their laboratories and quickly become productive teachers and researchers are vital. Discretionary funds will also allow our graduate students to participate in the most prestigious research conferences‚ often presenting their thesis work. Named professorships, even small ones, give specific faculty the flexibility to peruse new areas of research areas where funding opportunities exist, but only if the proof-of-concept experiments already have been done.

Scholarships bring more young people into our field. BIOE attracts some of the best undergraduates in the Clark School. We are always in need of more scholarship funds to make sure these young scholars can maximize their educations.
