Information on Research
Research opens the door to a world of creation, exploration, discovery, and the testing of ideas. Your experience as a student at Ohio State University can be greatly enriched by the research opportunities available to you here.
Research is vitally important at Ohio State. We rank sixth in the country among all universities for industry-sponsored research, according to the FY2002 National Science Foundation Expenditure Survey, the latest survey available.
For the first time in the institution's history, Ohio State researchers have received more than a half-billion dollars in research funding during the last year. The funding total is a milestone reached by only a select few national research universities. Total research awards for the 2004 fiscal year reached $528 million – a 13.9 percent increase over the previous year.
The College of Engineering showed a dramatic increase in funding, totaling $124.7 million in awards, an increase of 28.7 percent over last year. This funding commitment creates tremendous opportunities for our faculty and our students, and further demonstrates the reputation our engineering program holds.
