Internal Awards, Fellowships & Prizes | ASC Intranet The Ohio State University ASC Intranet Internal Awards, Fellowships & Prizes Internal Awards, Fellowships & Prizes Contact: Chris Jaroniec, jaroniec. 1@osu. edu The University/College supports the following programs related to faculty research and professional development.

See below for descriptions and application instructions. President's Research Excellence Program The program will provide up to $2.

5 million in seed support for cross and interdisciplinary research during the next academic year Ohio State aims to grow its research and innovation enterprise and increase its research eminence among the nation’s and the world’s research universities by attracting more externally sponsored research funding, enabling curiosity-driven research and discoveries, and addressing large, complex societal challenges.

Towards these goals, the President’s Research Excellence (PRE) program, established in 2021 by the Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge, provides seed support for cross- and interdisciplinary research that have the potential to attract external funding. This year, the university will award up to $2. 5 million in PRE grants.

Specifically, the PRE program supports: Accelerator proposals are for small teams formed to pursue curiosity-driven, novel, high-risk and high-reward research. The grants may be up to $50,000.

Catalyst proposals are for large cross- and interdisciplinary teams to pursue large-scale, high-impact research that addresses emerging or existing challenges of national and international societal importance, generates long-term, sustained, and significant impact, and positions Ohio State as the leader in this area. These grants may be up to $200,000.

A lead PI for this program must be a faculty member, either tenure/tenure track or research, or a clinical-track faculty member who is engaged in research. PI status at Ohio State is required for all lead PIs. Co-PIs can be faculty, research staff or post-docs from intellectually distinct disciplines.

Proposing teams must include a minimum of three Ohio State researchers from distinctively different interdisciplinary areas. Researchers may only be named as PI or Co-PI on a single PRE project proposal per Accelerator or Catalyst competition.

If any researcher is named as PI or Co-PI on more than one proposal in the same competition (Accelerator or Catalyst), only the first proposal submitted, as indicated by the time and date stamp from the submission site, will be reviewed and any proposal submitted with a duplicate investigator named after that will be disqualified.

Any PI or Co-PI named on an active, awarded PRE project (Accelerator or Catalyst) cannot be named as such on another PRE proposal (Accelerator or Catalyst) until the awarded PRE project period ends.

Research Instrumentation and Infrastructure Grant Program (IIGP) The Arts and Sciences Research Instrumentation and Infrastructure Grant Program (IIGP) is intended to support shared, strategic, and forward‑looking research infrastructure investments that advance research capacity across departments, centers, institutes, and the College as a whole.

The main purpose of IIGP is to significantly advance the research and creative expression activities of Arts and Sciences faculty and students by: Enabling the acquisition of new instrumentation/infrastructure Replacing existing but outdated/non-operational instrumentation/infrastructure Upgrading and expanding the capabilities of existing instrumentation/infrastructure IIGP aims to support instrumentation/infrastructure needs that impact research and creative expression activities beyond individual faculty/research groups.

Please see below for examples of grants awarded for clarification on the types of requests commonly supported. If you have specific questions about if your need is a good fit for this program, reach out to Chris Jaroniec to discuss.

IIGP funds are not intended to support: Routine maintenance, repair, or servicing of existing equipment located within individual departments; Replacement of existing departmental equipment with like‑for‑like instruments; Purchases intended solely to meet normal operational or instructional needs of a single unit; or Ongoing operational costs or lifecycle maintenance of department‑owned equipment.

Requests related to departmental equipment needs, replacements, or maintenance should instead be directed to Sergio Soave and incorporated into the College of Arts and Sciences facilities and capital planning process, where they can be evaluated alongside other college‑wide infrastructure priorities.

Proposals submitted to IIGP should demonstrate how requested investments address college‑level research infrastructure needs, enable shared access, and provide impact for growth beyond a single department’s routine operations.

These ASC funds are not a general research grant and must be used to only cover expenses associated with the purchase of the specific instrumentation/infrastructure listed in your proposal budget and any associated standard delivery and installation charges. This specifically excludes any additional separate charges associated with tariffs, which, if applicable, must be covered at the department level using alternate funding sources.

Typical IIGP request are expected to be in the range of $25,000-500,000. Submissions are due annually at 5pm EST on October 1 (or the Monday after, if October 1 is a weekend or holiday) and must be submitted via the online application link. Learn more about the program, eligibility and requirements.

To achieve this mission and advance translational research, the CCTS awards vouchers to provide funding support for investigators who require assistance from an Ohio State or a Nationwide Children’s Hospital core service to enable preliminary work and generate data for new or ongoing projects.

Vouchers may also be used to secure fee-based core services for expert consultation services (such as biostatistics) with the ultimate goal of furthering clinical and translational research. These awards are intended to be used on projects that are ready for services immediately (“just in time” data).

To facilitate innovative research, the CCTS will award vouchers to Ohio State and Nationwide Children's Hospital investigators worth up to $3,000. To support new collaborations, the CCTS will award Ohio State and Nationwide Children's Hospital investigators up to $5,000 for projects involving researchers from two different colleges or institutions. The voucher program processes applications on a rolling basis.

President's Postdoctoral Scholar Program (PPSP) The President’s Postdoctoral Scholars Program (PPSP), supported by the Office of the President, was launched in January 2018 to recognize highly-qualified postdoctoral trainees who will become leaders in their fields.

The program supports the scholarly efforts and training of terminal degree holders (PhD and others) who wish to pursue careers in research and creative inquiry, as well as providing professional development and networking opportunities. This program includes salary support and full benefits (health insurance, tuition assistance, and paid leave) provided by the Office of the President and the scholar’s faculty mentor and sponsor college.

PPSP scholars also receive funds from the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs to support research, creative expression, and professional development-related expenses. Funding and eligibility criteria The PPSP award is for two years. Colleges will have to provide assurance that there is a commitment to fund the awardee for a full two years.

The funding structure changed to make the PPSP and the rest of the funding units contributions the same each year. Though not a requirement, ideal faculty mentors are those who have some experience mentoring postdoctoral scholars and trainees Co-mentors are encouraged for anyone who does not have much experience mentoring postdoctoral scholars and trainees. Co-mentors should be faculty at Ohio State University.

See the eligibility criteria section for more information. The nominating faculty must have a conversation with their college liaison and discuss the funding plan before submitting the form of intent.

Strategic Research Travel Award In alignment with the university’s goal to double sponsored research within this decade, the Strategic Research Travel Program provides up to 50% of total costs not to exceed $1,500 per person for Ohio State faculty and principal investigators to travel to meet with one or more external research sponsors to conduct the following positioning activities: Discuss an identified large-scale, multidisciplinary, and/or significantly strategic funding opportunity to understand the sponsor’s priorities and ensure the best chance of success Effective positioning is an important component of strategic research development.

This kind of activity occurs well before a sponsor releases a solicitation. Individual PIs or multiple investigators on a team (up to three, if justified) may request support.

Support will only be considered for applicants who have: Engaged with a specific external funding sponsor(s) about the identified opportunity and/or research topical area Secured interest from the external funding sponsor to meet in person to discuss the opportunity or research topical area. What expenses are covered? Reimbursable travel costs include airfare, per diem hotel and food expenses, and ground transportation.

All university travel must adhere to the university’s travel policy .

Examples of activities NOT supported through this program include: Travel to general conferences/meetings at which sponsors may be present Travel to meet with sponsors where a targeted funding opportunity or research topical area of national significance has not been identified as this program is not intended to support general networking with sponsors Travel to conduct preliminary research in preparation for future research proposal submission Applications are reviewed monthly, with those received by the 25 th reviewed and applicants notified of the outcome by the end of that month.

Applicants are encouraged to submit requests well in advance or be prepared to explain the extenuating circumstances prompting a request for travel less than 30 days following the end of the prior review period. All awards are contingent upon the availability of funds. For more information, please contact Laurie Neer .

Henry Brecher Technical Achievement Award Named in honor of Henry Heinz Brecher , one of the longest serving scientists at the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center. Henry came to OSU in 1962 as a student and research assistant and went on to become a Byrd research staff member for over 25 years.

Henry retired from his research position at OSU in 1989; however, 30+ years later, he still comes in to the Byrd Center almost every day to volunteer and collaborate in the Ice Core Paleoclimatology Research Group , as well as participate in many other Byrd activities.

Henry’s energy and stamina were well suited for fieldwork and thus most of his roles included fieldwork with many OSU faculty and graduate students in a variety of regions of the world. His proficiency at photogrammetry was unmatched and resulted in many maps of extent and motion of glaciers and ice sheets and contributed to successful research projects.

Due to Henry’s long, outstanding record with the Byrd Center, in addition to his many technical achievements in both the field and office, the Byrd Center has established this award in his name. Any faculty, staff or student who is involved in any work effort or research project at the Byrd Center may be nominated for this award.

An adviser or supervisor may nominate individuals who have served on a Byrd Center project/team/work effort for at least 12 months. Supervisor(s) or advisor(s) should provide a letter of support for the nomination. Please send nominations via email to the Byrd Center Director and Administrative Manager.

edu Lois M. Jones Award for Science Access, Engagement and Communication Lois M. Jones (1935-2000) was a geochemist from The Ohio State University who led the first all-women research expedition to Antarctica in 1969 and became one of the first women to reach the South Pole.

In recognition of her trailblazing work; to recollect the advances that have been made; and to acknowledge continued work to increase access within the sciences, engagement with new communities and communication to different audiences, the Byrd Center Education and Outreach Team has established the Lois M. Jones Award for Science Access, Engagement and Communication.

Any member of the Byrd Center may be nominated who has done significant work to advance one or more of the following causes in any scientific field, including but not limited to polar and climate research: Increasing access of underrepresented communities to science education, opportunities and careers.

Engaging new communities in the research enterprise in ways that may include but are not limited to collecting data, co-producing products, or utilizing findings. Improving or expanding communication of scientific information, research findings, or applied knowledge to audiences in formats that may include but are not limited to print, spoken word and digital media.

Nominees should also exemplify the following criteria: Genuine collaborator who wants to share their knowledge end experiences with other Center members. Tenacity in overcoming obstacles and connecting people. Be a current or former members of the Byrd Center (including faculty, researchers, staff, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students, alumni, retired members, etc.).

This award will be given annually. Nomination letters should be submitted to Laura Kissel, Byrd Center Archives Curator, at kissel. 4@osu.

edu . Letters should clearly articulate how the nominee meets the criteria listed above, including specific examples. Institute of Population Research Seed Grants IPR offers seed grants to nurture and promote population research, with a focus on research that will eventually result in external funding.

Seed grants can be used to collect or acquire data, conduct preliminary analyses, develop new collaborations, or other activities that help strengthen research proposals.

Priority is given to research that falls within one or more of IPR's four thematic areas: Sexual and Reproductive Health Mortality and Health over the Life Course We especially value research that fits within the scientific mission of the NICHD Population Dynamics Branch . Applicants must be Ohio State faculty or have PI status at Ohio State.

Unfortunately, we are unable to fund research activities that take place outside the United States. (We can fund research using data collected internationally as long as all funds are spent in the U.S.). We encourage applications from junior faculty, from faculty new to population and health research, and from multidisciplinary groups.

Applications from junior faculty should identify a faculty mentor at Ohio State. IPR seed grants fall into one of two classes: Small and Focused Projects These projects are twelve months’ duration (with option for no-cost extension) and have a budget up to $40,000. R01, R21, R03, and K applications to NICHD are common outcomes.

Large Multi-Investigator Projects These projects have a maximum duration of twenty-four months and maximum budget of $85,000. The expected outcome is application(s) for substantial external funding. Teams contemplating applying for a large IPR seed grant are advised to discuss their plans with the IPR Director.

The goal of this program is to seed projects that will eventually lead to successful proposals for external funding. The structure of seed grant projects and the activities they fund can take many forms; in particular, seed grants need not immediately result in published research products.

However, all seed grant proposals should clearly describe how the activities supported by the seed grant will contribute to the development of the external proposal (for example, by providing preliminary data; by demonstrating feasibility of an approach; by furthering knowledge of a research field; etc.). Application materials, instructions, deadlines, and contacts are available on the Seed Grant Program page.

The Faculty Scholarship Support programs outlined below apply to all tenure-track faculty members on all campuses in the departments and schools of the Division of Arts and Humanities. The Division of Arts and Humanities extends thanks to Ohio State's Global Arts and Humanities Discovery Theme and the Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge for their co-sponsorship of this program.

Associated faculty, clinical faculty (professors of teaching), lecturers, instructors, and others on term assignments, visiting faculty, and emeritus faculty will not receive consideration for these awards.

Arts and Humanities resources are available to continuing faculty only: faculty who announce their termination to begin employment at another institution, or who are notified of the non-renewal of their appointments, are ineligible for these funds. Recipients of awards should acknowledge the aid of Arts and Humanities in any publication, performance, exhibit, or engagement project resulting from a granting of funds.

Available on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted. Only one application allowed per faculty member per fiscal year (July 1-June 30). Assistant professors who have exhausted their start-up funds are eligible to apply.

Faculty with individual research accounts or any available grant funds must have exhausted those funds before applying for Small Grants. The unit’s fiscal officer will confirm that any available funds are exhausted in Docusign. Faculty without individual research accounts or department support for scholarship will receive priority.

Faculty who receive scholarship support from their departments must have exhausted those funds before applying for Small Grants, or must direct the remainder of those funds towards the Small Grant project (with a combined budget cap of the amount of the request).

The unit’s fiscal officer will confirm that this is the case in Docusign and the faculty member must indicate in the application the amount of department funds provided annually to support scholarship. Retroactive applications (e.g. for completed travel) will not be considered.

Grants cannot be used for subscriptions to journals available in University Libraries, the development of teaching materials, administrative expenses, the support of scholars visiting Ohio State, or to purchase a course release from teaching. Any equipment purchased with grant funds remains the property of The Ohio State University and is assigned to the TIU of the funding recipient.

All applications require review and endorsement by the department chair or school director. Applications will only be accepted using Docusign form links below. No applications will be accepted through email.

Accelerator and Amplifier Course Release Program The Accelerator and Amplifier Course Release Program funds scholarship in the Arts and Humanities, providing instructional replacement for faculty excused from teaching a course to concentrate on scholarly pursuits.

All course releases will take place in autumn or spring semester in the year after they were awarded (e.g. if a course release was awarded in spring semester 2027, then the course release would take place in either autumn 2027 or spring 2028). Applications due on the third Monday in January.

The Accelerator and Amplifier Course Release Program funds course releases for faculty research/creative activity at any project phase (including time to start a new project, make progress on a project, or complete a project). Priority will be given to faculty who are preparing for promotion, with preference first for promotion to professor and second for promotion to associate professor.

Retroactive applications for courses already taught will not be considered. Faculty members can apply for one course release every other academic year. Faculty members who receive course releases that would take place during the same academic year that they receive a special assignment, FPLs and other grants or fellowship course buyout programs are ineligible to apply.

If a course release is awarded and then the faculty member receives a special assignment, FPL or grant to buyout course(s) then the course release will be revoked. Faculty who receive a course release for substantial university service are eligible to apply (e.g. Vice-Chair, DGS, DUS). Department chairs, school directors and center directors are ineligible to apply.

Assistant Professors who have course releases during their first four years of employment are ineligible to apply. Faculty awarded a course release will still be expected to perform regular service and advising obligations. A committee of Arts & Humanities faculty will oversee the selection process.

Funding will be provided to units to cover course reductions at a standard lecturer replacement rate. All applications require that the department chair, school director, or regional dean (for regional faculty) submit via Docusign a very brief statement of support that also certifies that, at the time of application, the applicant does not have other course releases for the reasons mentioned above.

In the case of multiple applications in a unit, once the application deadline has passed, the department chair, school director, and/or regional will provide a simple ranking of all applications. Applications will only be accepted using Docusign form links below. No applications will be accepted through email.
