National Science Foundation

An independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense….” With an annual budget of $7.3 billion (FY 2015), NSF is the funding source for approximately 24% of all federally supported basic research conducted by America’s colleges and universities. In many fields such as mathematics, computer science and the social sciences, NSF is the major source of federal backing.

Institutional Support

Berkeley Engineering

Ranked among the top three engineering schools in the world, the University of California, Berkeley College of Engineering offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary, hands-on education; challenges conventional thinking; values creativity and imagination; and engages students and faculty who are driven by social commitment and a desire to change the world. In the classroom, the research lab, or the design studio, the Berkeley Engineering community is both welcoming and tightly knit. Whether pursuing groundbreaking research or teaching students, our faculty members are engaged and accessible. We’re a village of entrepreneurs and collaborators within the big city of a renowned public university. 

The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation

The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is UC Berkeley’s interdisciplinary hub for learning and making at the intersection of design and technology.

From our home in Berkeley’s College of Engineering, we extend broadly across campus, serving as a welcoming hub: here, engineers, artists, and makers of all kinds can gather and collaborate. In a space designed to mix students of different disciplines, expertise levels, and modes of engagement, we provide a range of opportunities for hands-on, team-based learning, from a professional masters degree program, to courses and an undergraduate certificate, to independent tinkering and co-curricular offerings.

CITRIS and the Banatao Institute

The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) is a University of California research center focused on creating IT solutions that generate societal and economic benefits for all.

CITRIS and the Banatao Institute leverages the strengths of the UC campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Merced and Santa Cruz and harnesses the greater innovation ecosystem of the University and the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley. We strengthen bridges between world-class researchers, state and national policymakers, and companies reshaping entire industries. Together with these public and private partners, we drive the future of technology in ways that cross traditional boundaries.

“When women are not involved in science and technology, experiences, insight, and needs that are unique to women are overlooked and innovation is limited.”
