Research Enhancement Program
The IMR Research Enhancement Program provides support in multiple forms in order to broadly stimulate and advance strategic materials research thrust areas, support research activities that utilize major facilities and specialized equipment, and to encourage and strengthen industry-supported materials research conducted at OSU. The IMR Research Enhancement Program also provides direct facility infrastructure support to select facility clusters via IMR Members of Technical Staff (IMR-MTS) who are assigned to primary facilities throughout IMR.
IMR Grant Programs
Interdisciplinary Materials Research Grants (IMRG)
IMRG awards provide seed funding to support pioneering interdisciplinary research in materials-allied fields with the goal of generating highly competitive external grant proposals that target large, multi-investigator and center-level opportunities. Grants up to $45,000 are competitively awarded and may be renewable for a second year.
