The Ohio State Institute for Materials Research (IMR) has awarded seven new Facility Grants, an investment of $14,000 in nascent materials research.
The seven projects support faculty researchers from five different departments within the College of Engineering, the Division of Natural and Mathematical Sciences and the College of Dentistry. Download the full announcement of these awards, with project abstracts.
IMR Facility Grants assist OSU faculty with facility user access fees and related minor charges associated with conducting innovative materials-allied research. Interested in seed funding for your own experimental lab work? Our next deadline is May 13, 2013.
