Special Opportunity Awards Summary

The Special Opportunity Awards Program was initiated in 1993 to complement the Development Awards by offering smaller, more flexible grants to improve biomedical engineering education.

Applicant institutions were required to commit considerable resources to ensure that the programs begun under these grants became permanent.

The awards have been used to strengthen the quality or enhance the scope of biomedical engineering programs and to establish new formal educational programs in biomedical engineering.

The foundation has made more than 100 grants to 72 institutions for a total investment in excess of $88 million.

Here is a list of the grant recipients. Some have received more than one Special Opportunity Award.
