The following are some of the research facilities and/or services that are available on campus:

Radiation Center - A campus-wide research and training facility for the use of radioisotopes and radiation. Special facilities include laboratories for neutron activation analysis.

Radiation Safety Office - Provides information on radiation safety and radioisotope handling and disposal.

Center for Gene Research and Biotechnology - Operates a central service facility which includes equipment and technical support for peptide sequencing and DNA and RNA synthesis.

Library, Media, and Computing at Oregon State University

Oregon Climate Service - Involved in the development of macro-climatic models and analysis of climatic data. Also houses the Office of State Climatologist for Oregon, the activities of which include maintaining a computer- accessible climate database for Oregon and summarizing local climatic data.

USDA - Horticultural Crops Research Laboratory - Personnel associated with this well-equipped facility have expertise in the following areas: photosynthesis, water relations, flowering, foliar and soil borne diseases, mycorrhizae, and soil chemistry.

USEPA - The EPA research facility has three organizational sections, namely, (a) air pollution effects, (b) terrestrial/pesticides, and (c) hazardous waste/water. Research areas of special concern to plant scientists include air pollution effects on plants, uptake and effects of pesticides on plants, and acid rain effects on crop plants. This is a well-equipped facility. Of particular interest is a unique system to study the uptake and translocation of chemicals by whole plants. The plant's aerial and root environments are continuously assessed and controlled and transpiration and photosynthesis monitored.

Research Office - Students and faculty can obtain information about grants, fellowships, etc.
