Formal Program Grants in Science
Murdock College Science Research Program

The Murdock College Science Research Program is designed exclusively for private four-year liberal arts colleges in the Trust’s grantmaking region.

The goal of the program is to strengthen faculty and undergraduate student research efforts in the natural sciences in these colleges. Grants are given to institutions with the capacity for developing division-wide, faculty-student research programs that can be sustained with institutional resources and external funding.

To date, nine colleges have been admitted into the program: Gonzaga University, Lewis & Clark College, University of Puget Sound, Whitman College, Linfield College, Northwest Nazarene University, Pacific Lutheran University, Willamette University, and the University of Portland. Colleges prepared to enter into and benefit from this program are invited to contact Murdock Trust by email or call 360.694.8415.
