The Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology is a unit of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign dedicated to interdisciplinary research. A gift from scientist,businessman,and philanthropist Arnold O. Beckman (1900–2004) and his wife Mabel (1900–1989) led to the building of the Institute which opened in 1989. It is one of five institutions which receive support from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation on an ongoing basis. Current research at Beckman involves the areas of molecular engineering,intelligent systems,and imaging science. Researchers in these areas work across traditional academic boundaries in scientific projects that can lead to the development of real-world applications in medicine,industry,electronics,and human health across the lifespan.

A Beckman Fellow receives funding,usually via an intermediary institution,from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation,founded by Arnold Orville Beckman and his wife Mabel. The Foundation supports programs at several institutions to encourage research,particularly the work of young researchers who might not be eligible for other sources of funding. People from a variety of different programs at different institutions may therefore be referred to as Beckman Fellows. Though most often designating postdoctoral awards in science,the exact significance of the term will vary depending on the institution involved and the type(s) of Beckman Fellowship awarded at that institution.
