Congratulations to the Collaborative Research/Pilots Finalists

News

UC researchers continue to blaze new trails in science, medicine, business, education, engineering and the arts — literally transforming the way we live, work and learn.

Findings is the Office of Research’s newsletter, which began in October 2017. It delivers monthly updates to faculty, staff, students, and community partners about impactful research, initiatives, partnerships, events, and opportunities at the University of Cincinnati. To view current and previous issues of the newsletter, go to the Findings page.

Consistent with Office of Research goals to spur interdisciplinary research and establish new partnerships within and beyond the institution, the pilot program is designed to seed promising, collaborative research endeavors to elevate teams’ competitiveness for external funding. The expected outcomes for this program: 1) Support interdisciplinary teams for achievement of greater success, breakthrough ideas, and prominence; 2) Advance high-potential, team research and creative activities in emergent areas; and 3) Increase teams’ competitiveness and capacity for major extramural awards and funding.
