Internally at OSU, these are two resourceful offices that maintain up-to-date information regarding research implementation and funding opportunities:
Office of Sponsored Programs, http://osp.osu.edu/.
Office of Research, http://research.osu.edu/.
The Office of Research also keeps an online list of limited-submission opportunities at http://rf.osu.edu/fundops/report/index.cfm?college=ALL. (Notice you can change the “Primary Interest College” to whatever is more appropriate to your research interests such that you see a narrower list.)
I-Corps@Ohio
This is a statewide program developed to assist faculty, staff and students from Ohio universities, colleges and community colleges in validating the market potential of technologies and launching start-up companies. The I-Corps@Ohio program incorporates lean launch, customer discovery and business model innovation methodologies to assess technologies and enhance the business acumen and networks of research faculty and students across the state.
I-Corps@Ohio is offered on a competitive basis to teams comprised of research faculty or staff members, student(s) and executive mentor(s). Teams develop market-driven value propositions and scalable business models that attract seed, angel and venture funding to support company formation, market entry, and accelerate the growth of income and jobs in Ohio.
The primary goal of the I-Corps@Ohio program are to advance the translation of fundamental research to innovative products and services that drive scalable business models that serve as the basis for startup companies.
