The Arnold & Mabel Beckman Foundation is a private foundation that funds research by young investigators in chemistry and life sciences. Chemist and inventor Arnold O. Beckman and his wife, Mabel, established the foundation in 1977. The foundation is based at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center of the National Academy of Sciences in Irvine, CA.

Mission and history

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center (Beckman Center) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is in Irvine, California. In addition to its conference and meeting spaces, which opened in 1988, it is the current site of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation office, archive, and exhibit hall.

In the early 1930s, while working as an assistant professor at Caltech, Dr. Beckman invented an acidimeter—the Beckman pH meter—which became the precursor to the electric pH meter used to measure a solution's acidity or alkalinity.

To market his invention, Dr. Beckman founded National Technical Laboratories, later renamed Beckman Instruments, which became a leading supplier of medical and research instruments as well as electric analog computers.

At age 65, Dr. Beckman stepped down as president of Beckman Instruments, and he and his wife Mabel turned their attention to philanthropy. The couple established the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation in 1977 to give back to the scientific community.

"I accumulated my wealth by selling instruments to scientists," Dr. Beckman said. "So I thought it would be appropriate to make contributions to scientists, and that's been my number-one guideline for charity."

The foundation started with five gifts given between 1978­ and 1989 that established and constructed five Beckman institutes and centers and a National Academy of Sciences facility. The foundation continues to support research at these five Beckman research institutes and centers with annual grant funding.

Mabel was central to developing the foundation's mission and in the early gifts that established the Beckman centers and institutes. As board secretary, she evaluated proposals, attended meetings and site visits, and made funding decisions. She died three months after the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology's inauguration.

Present mission

The Beckmans had planned to disburse the foundation's endowment in their lifetimes. But after Mabel's death, in 1990, Dr. Beckman changed the foundation to be in perpetuity. He updated its mission to support innovative, high-risk research in chemistry and life sciences by young scientists, who often aren't yet established enough to win large, federal grants, and to foster invention with an eye toward opening new avenues for basic research.

Dr. Beckman also added a focus on improving elementary school science education locally. In 1998, he announced a $14.4 million donation over 12 years to Orange County, CA, school districts for K–6 teacher training, hands-on science kits, and direct grants.

National grant programs

1996 Beckman Young Investigator Jennifer A. Doudna, PhD, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for “development of a method for genome editing” known as CRISPR/Cas-9.
1998 Beckman Young Investigator Carolyn R. Bertozzi, PhD, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2022 for the “development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation funds the following national grant programs:

Beckman Young Investigator Program

The Beckman Young Investigator Program supports chemistry and life sciences research by promising faculty members early in their careers. The grant amount is about $600,000 over four years.

Three Beckman Young Investigators have gone on to win Nobel Prizes:

David Baker (’95) shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Demis Hassabis and John Jumper “for computational protein design.”

Additionally, at least 33 Beckman Young Investigators have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemical Sciences or Chemical Instrumentation Award supports advanced postdoctoral research in fundamental chemistry or in the development and building of chemical instrumentation. The award amount is $224,000 over two years.

Beckman Scholars Program

The Beckman Scholars Program is a 15-month mentored research opportunity for undergraduate students in chemistry, biology, or an interdisciplinary combination of the two. This is an institutional award with the amount of $21,000 per student and $5,000 per mentor. Universities that have received the award include University of Richmond, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Montana State University, Boston College, University of Chicago, University of Texas at Austin, and Yale University.

Instrumentation Grants

The foundation periodically implements short-term grant opportunities related to current instrumentation needs. In 2023 awards were given to Furman University, University of Wisconsin, and University of Washington for the design of mass spectrometer devices.

Additional Activities

Beckman Speaker and Conference Support Fund

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation Speaker and Conference Support program provides funding for current Beckman awardees to invite current or former Beckman awardees or foundation leaders to speak at an institutional event. The program provides up to $3,000 per request.

Annual Symposium

Each summer, the foundation holds its annual Beckman Symposium for current national grant recipients to present their latest research. The symposium is intended to promote the sharing of scientific knowledge and to foster collaboration.

Community Support Grants

In addition to national programs, the foundation provides local community support grants:

  • "Beckman Family" Awardee Community Support Grants: Current national grant recipients may apply for $5,000 for a project for a local STEM or STEAM organization.
  • Beckman Local Community Grants: These grants support innovative STEM or STEAM activities for youth in Orange County, CA.

A grant of $1M was given to the University of Southern Mississippi for scholarships for students affected by Hurricane Katrina.

Research into application anonymization

In 2024, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation published results of a multi-year application-anonymization experiment. The foundation found that removing certain identifying information from the first round of applications for the Beckman Young Investigator Award reduced the number of awards issued to applicants from prestigious institutions by 30%. Anonymizing the application did not impact the awardees' gender distribution.

Leadership

Dr. Beckman served as chair of the foundation board until he was 95.

Jackie Dorrance served as the foundation's first executive director and CEO from 1996 through 2015. Anne Hultgren joined the foundation as executive director and CEO in 2015. Catrina Bryant is deputy director.

Financials

The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation is a section 501(c)3 exempt private operating foundation. A financial report section within the foundation's annual report is included on its website.
