Technology researchers in Ohio are finding industry support and federal funding opportunities thanks to an initiative led by the state-funded Ohio Federal Research Network (OFRN), freshwatercleveland.com reports. Several projects at six university-based Centers of Excellence (COE) “are showing potential to become powerful drivers of research dollars and jobs statewide,” according to the article. OFRN COEs “have won over $42 million in new resources for Ohio projects,” and OFRN projects “are attracting industry support to move forward technologies created by researchers in Ohio academic laboratories.” One project, the Test and Evaluation of Autonomous Systems (TEAS), is “expected to lead to a multi-million-dollar commitment from research firm Galois.” TEAS “will create processes and software to enable improved testing of unmanned, autonomous systems utilizing global positioning and global navigation satellite systems.” For more, read the full article.
