Research at Ohio State
New medical treatments and scientific discoveries help Ohioans live longer, healthier, happier and more productive lives. This research would not be possible without support from our government partners.
The federal government, along with the state of Ohio and local governments, provides research funding that leads to life-saving procedures, treatments and diagnoses for diseases like cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and diabetes.
Crucial government funding enables Buckeyes to connect people, ideas and resources, put knowledge into practice and create meaningful impact in people’s lives. Ohio State research benefits farmers, teachers, soldiers, law enforcement officers, schoolchildren, medical patients and many more.
