Funding available for proposals

Ohio State Energy Partners has announced the 2019 Annual OSEP Awards, as part of its continuing commitment to academic collaboration with the university. OSEP will contribute $810,000 annually to the university or affiliated philanthropic causes. Working with OSEP, the Energy Academic Collaboration Council will engage the Ohio State community in a request for proposals that help advance important priorities across the university while also promoting inter-college and community collaboration.

Priority will be given to proposals that align with one or more of the following focus areas:

  • Sustainability
  • Leadership
  • Income Equality
  • Nine Dimensions of Wellness
  • Addiction
  • Arts & Humanities

To be considered, proposals must be submitted by a current Ohio State student, faculty member, or staff member; cannot focus on coal or political advocacy; and must align with the University's Strategic Plan. Preference will be given to projects that engage the campus or broader community to promote internal and external collaboration. Funding levels range from $10,000 to $100,000 and will be awarded on a one-time basis.
