Building Your Research Program
We have resources to help you.
With a robust suite of on-demand information and tools available, Ohio State's Enterprise for Research, Innovation and Knowledge (ERIK) supports the entire research lifecycle. Our staff leads several initiatives to nurture skills for research leadership, strategically expanding research opportunities.
To begin building your research program, ERIK manages the process of becoming a principal investigator (PI) for the university. Next become familiar with the diverse funding sources, including internal as well as federal agencies, private foundations, state agencies, and corporations, to fuel groundbreaking discoveries and innovations. For new researchers, comprehensive resources are readily accessible to kickstart and advance their research programs, complemented by support from the Office of Academic Affairs and associate dean for research across the university's colleges.
