In the life of Bo Park, there’s a quirky connection between her early childhood in South Korea and her pharmacology research at Oregon State University: fish.
In 2011 OSU’s group of chemists, physicists and electrical engineers was awarded more than $20 million to grow a research center focused on understanding new chemical methods for production of electronic and energy materials. OSU leads the center, a partnership that includes UO, University of California Berkeley, University of California Davis, Washington University at St. Louis and Rutgers University.

NSF Special Report: Broader Impacts
As we aim for success of OSU’s broader impacts, it’s important that we understand the national and cultural contexts for broader impacts among researchers and institutions. In November, the National Science Foundation (NSF) released a document titled Perspectives on Broader Impacts, summarizing perspectives of NSF administrators, university leaders, and researchers on the current state and future of broader impacts support infrastructure.
