Research
How do we build a stronger, more prosperous region?
This fundamental challenge spurs research at Portland State University. Our faculty and students respond through efforts to improve the environmental, economic, and social well-being both here in the Pacific Northwest and beyond the Pacific Rim. Whether greening our built environment, improving prospects for all citizens, or preserving the ecosystems that support an increasingly urbanized region, Portland State researchers are building the blocks that form more resilient communities.
Our growing emphasis on research, with $64.8 million in expenditures for the 2011 academic year, signals the transformation of the University into an incubator for innovation and exploration. Building on the distinct character of our location and legacy, we’re establishing Oregon’s leading urban research university as one of the nation’s best.
Partnering with OHSU
Our close relationship with Oregon Health & Science University is one of our greatest research assets. We continually strive to make collaborating with OHSU as convenient as possible.
