University of Oregon-led team named NSF Regional Innovation Engines semifinalist
A University of Oregon-led initiative to revolutionize the mass timber sector in the Pacific Northwest has been selected as a semifinalist in the highly competitive National Science Foundation Regional Innovation Engines program. The NSF Engine: Oregon Mass Timber Innovation Engine, led by principal investigator Judith Sheine, professor of architecture in the UO College of Design and director of design of the TallWood Design Institute, is among just 29 semifinalist teams nationally. Selected NSF Engine proposals have the potential to receive up to $160 million over 10 years, and the NSF expects those to be announced in early 2026.
