In a remarkably short time\u2014less than 50 years\u2014BU has taken its place in the ranks of the world\u2019s great research universities.<\/h2>\n

Your gift can sustain and build momentum in this critical area.<\/h3>\n

How will we build momentum? By supporting and building our world-class faculty. This means more endowed professorships, career development professorships, visiting professorships, and fellowships for deserving doctoral students.<\/p>\n

It also means providing research support for people thinking and working \u201coutside the box\u201d and facilitating collaborations across international boundaries. In today\u2019s world, a biologist and an engineer working together\u2014from starting points anywhere in the world\u2014are more likely to tackle and solve pressing problems than they would be working alone.<\/p>\n

BU\u2019s recent remarkable successes in interdisciplinary realms like infectious diseases, neuroscience, bioinformatics, and biomedical engineering point the way. With continued support, we can build upon these successes and generate new ideas in fields across the University.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to build knowledge at BU:<\/strong><\/p>\n
