As part of the Ohio Federal Research Network’s (OFRN – www.ohiofrn.org) mission, we are engaging Ohio-based businesses throughout the State in order to identify sponsored research opportunities.

We have two types of opportunities: Sponsored Research and RFI.  Sponsored Research is an opportunity with a budget and due date.  RFIs are expressed interest in understanding specific capabilities within the network, without a current budget, but possibly a timeframe.

While these are un-funded opportunities, that doesn’t imply a lack of interest from the client.  We have vetted both the client and these opportunities and the technical need documented is a real one. Identification of Ohio researchers specializing in this area would be important introductions for the client and a critical step in generating a future funded opportunity.

For the specific details on the two available opportunities and contact information for OFRN, please email rschsrvsga8@uakron.edu

Letters of intent to OFRN are due on 5/5/17
