Collaboration Finder Tools

The following tools will help you find the expertise needed to make your proposal as competitive as possible! For additional help, contact Kim Lightle.

EHE Researcher Expertise
This tool allows you to browse education and human ecology research topics and find out which EHE researchers have expertise in that area. Clicking on the name of the researcher will lead you to a bio page which provides a detailed profile of that researcher.

EngageOSU
EngageOSU an online portal into the research portfolio of the Ohio State University. It enables users to search the entire scope of our research experts. It covers research in all fields – including the life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, humanities, and the liberal arts – and covers all Ohio State campuses. The results list provides a list of faculty with their associated research productivity – number of collaborators, articles, books, grants, etc. Clicking on the faculty name in the return list provides a visual representation of their collaborators and the OSU program with which they are associated. Clicking on the blue person icon provides a word cloud and the details on research productivity as well as contact information.

Ohio Innovation Exchange (BETA)
This new initiative developed jointly by four major Ohio universities – Case Western Reserve University, Ohio University, The Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati – provides access to more than 8,250 faculty profiles and 200 resources from the four universities. The purpose of this beta release is to (i) highlight the work completed to date, (ii) demonstrate functionality to other Ohio-based university partners, and (iii) serve as a pre-RFP reference point for potential vendors. In subsequent releases, this innovative knowledge management framework will provide users with interactive tools to connect faculty, staff and students with industry in new information-driven ways.

STEAM Factory
The STEAM Factory (Researcher Network Facilitating a Culture of Interdisciplinary Collaboration) is a diverse and inclusive grass-roots network in the Ohio State community that facilitates creative and interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation and dissemination. The goals are to provide opportunities for collaboration that enhance and drive innovation within all research disciplines; to provide linkages and interdisciplinary interactions between Ohio State departments and colleges; and to increase the public awareness, understanding and impact of Ohio State research.
