OFRN

The Ohio Federal Research Network (OFRN) is a state-funded program established in 2015 to stimulate Ohio's innovation economy. It is not an investment fund, but rather a grant-awarding body funded by the Ohio General Assembly through the Ohio Department of Higher Education. Managed by Parallax Advanced Research in collaboration with The Ohio State University, OFRN's mission is to build statewide university-industry research collaborations that meet the R&D requirements of Ohio's federal laboratories, driving job growth and the creation of new technologies. The program provides funding through competitive solicitation rounds for projects in areas like aerospace, defense, energy, and health.
