College News

Internal Funding Opportunities

The College has a portfolio of internal funding opportunities. The Research and Innovation Seed Program (SciRIS) awards seed funding for high impact collaborative proposals that build teams, pursue fundamental discoveries, and create societal impact. There are other internal funding opportunities in addition to the SciRIS awards. Deadlines 15 April, 15 October.

Innovation (Industry Partnership) Award

The College of Science Industry Partnership Award provides critical resources for projects that take a new direction, utilize a new technology or are in the “proof-of-concept” phase. Undergraduate & graduate students and faculty researchers can participate, with a preference given to graduate students and faculty who are developing new areas of research and/or establishing or augmenting research partnerships with external industrial partners. The Innovation award is made possible by funds from the College of Science Venture Fund.

Checklist for incoming researchers

This checklist is intended to assist incoming faculty in their preparations to initiate research-related activities at OSU. Please review all relevant areas below and contact the related units as appropriate. This checklist is for your reference and does not need to be returned to the Research Office or Environmental Health and Safety.

The Southern Regional Education Board Doctoral Scholar Program

The SREB Doctoral Scholar Program was established more than 20 years ago to increase the number of underrepresented scholars who earn the Ph.D. and to address the need for a more diverse college faculty. The SREB provides multiple layers of support, including, but not limited to financial assistance and research funding, but also career counseling, job postings and a scholar directory for networking and recruiting.

NASA Minority Serving Institutions Exchange

The MSI Exchange is a tool that supports your search for innovative and diverse academic collaborators by curating STEM offerings and capability statements of MSIs nationwide. The MSI Exchange can inform partnerships for teaming opportunities and competitive federal awards such as contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants.

Faculty Senate Awards

Deadlines range from April - June, but many limit the number of nominations per College, so check the dates of interest for internal deadlines. Note that the OSU Impact Award for Outstanding Scholarship has a limited submission. Our internal deadline is one month before The Senate's deadline. Contact us with questions.

Campus-wide cost share request form

College pre-award units across campus have teamed up and created a cost share template and request form.

Our world is facing big, complex, and rapidly changing environmental and societal challenges. Regardless of what the future may hold, learners will need support to develop capacities to learn about, care for and take action to protect our world. Building the future we want for our planet and its people involves designing for that future today.

Innovative approaches to boost particle-surface adhesion and stability

Easy application through Halo
Deadline:
We are exploring innovative methods to better understand and control particle–surface interactions.

Photoresists for extreme ultraviolet lithography

Apply through Halo
Deadline:
We are looking for novel EUV photoresist materials that demonstrate strong sensitivity to EUV light exposure and have the potential to reliably pattern features with <20 nm pitch.

Photoresists for extreme ultraviolet lithography

Apply through Halo
Deadline:
The sponsor is seeking novel EUV photoresist materials that demonstrate strong sensitivity to EUV light exposure and have the potential to reliably pattern features with <20 nm pitch.

Innovative approaches to boost particle-surface adhesion and stability

Apply through Halo
Deadline:
The sponsor is exploring innovative methods to better understand and control particle–surface interactions. Their goal is to identify novel research directions that move beyond conventional approaches and open new possibilities for improving deposition, adhesion, and long-term stability across diverse application scenarios.

Novel vaccines and enabling technologies for avian infectious bronchitis

Apply through Halo
Deadline:
The sponsor is seeking vaccine technologies that are safe and effective, support rapid development, and enable mass administration in poultry. While they are particularly interested in next-generation vaccines, they also welcome enabling technologies that address limitations of current approaches, such as delivery systems, adjuvants, and expression platforms.

Discovery Boost Grants

American Cancer Society
Deadline:
Discovery Boost Grants (DBG) support high-risk, high-reward exploratory cancer research across the research continuum. Investigators may focus on developing research methodologies, establishing feasibility, or leading pilot tests.

Research Scholar Grants

American Cancer Society
Deadline:
Research Scholar Grants provide support for independent, self-directed researchers. Applicants' institutions must provide space and other resources customary for independent investigators.

Longitude Prize on ALS

Challenge Works (owned by Nesta)
Deadline:
The £7.5 million (~$10 million) Longitude Prize on ALS incentivises the use of AI-based approaches to transform drug discovery for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the most common form of motor neurone disease (MND).
