Infrastructure Support
In 1928, The Mellon Institute of Industrial Research was first established to conduct research for firms on a contractual basis; a company would contract the institute to solve a specific problem, and the institute would then hire an appropriate scientist to do the research. A lot has changed since 1928, but this entrepreneurial spirit still lives in the halls of Mellon Institute. There are many ways that can support scientific advancement through providing necessary resources for MCS to continue to be at the forefront of science, including naming a professorship, providing a capital gift, naming a lab or learning space and donating equipment or software.
