... But specifically they "should be primarily for research purposes and should be given for a limited time, one to three years." Then, my father said that his preference was to favor young investigators, new ideas, and a variety of projects, rather than fund large, established ones of long duration. Some of the variety of programs funded by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation are the Beckman Young Investigators Program for promising young faculty, the Beckman Scholars Program for undergraduate students, the research technologies initiatives, and in the past an Orange-County-wide, hands-on science program for elementary school children, to name just a few.
