Oregon State lands $45 million federal grant for microfluidics research
The Biden administration awarded $45 million Tuesday to a research hub at Oregon State University that is working to develop applications for microfluidics, the science of manipulating fluids at miniature scales.
Tuesday’s grant follows a separate $53 million award to HP Inc. on Monday to back microfluidics research and manufacturing at the company’s campus in Corvallis. Both grants were authorized by the 2022 federal CHIPS Act but Tuesday’s money comes from a newly passed defense funding bill.
