Descriptions of Core Funding Programs
Action Fund
The Action Fund allows Ohio's universities to compete more effectively for federal or other peer-reviewed research support by providing matching funds for university research proposals that include capital equipment or facilities. Action Fund requests can be forwarded to OBR by the university's designated Research Officer throughout the year as opportunities arise. The requests must be made prior to the submission of the external proposal; requests made after the submission are not considered. Since the Action Fund is designed to encourage major projects of significant magnitude, only those projects with total project costs of $250,000 or more are eligible for Action awards.
