Ready to Hear From You
The Federal Research Network welcomes all inquiries from the public. We’re especially eager to hear from Ohio businesses and other private sector entities that have promising ideas or intellectual property they’d like to commercialize, are interested in collaborating with our Centers of Excellence on research projects, or need assistance and/or academic partners in pursuit of federal funding opportunities.
But please note: We are not an investment fund. The bulk of our financial resources, entrusted to us by the Ohio legislature, is already earmarked for various projects identified by our many partners and collaborators. We are charged with being careful stewards of those funds.
