Academic Enrichment
Program
Funded Initiatives
The Academic Enrichment Program has been a major
vehicle for The Ohio State University to reward interdisciplinary academic
excellence among its faculty – excellence that shows clearly in the quality
of instruction, research, service, and community outreach. The program
has been suspended for the coming year because of budget constraints.
For over seven years the Academic Enrichment Program has provided $8.7
million in matching continuing central funds and over $5.8 million in
cash to specific initiatives, representing the cash equivalent of almost
$175 million in central investment that is matched by college and department
funds. These initiatives were chosen from across the university based
on their merit, interdisciplinary nature, promise of future benefit to
the university, and potential to enhance Ohio State's reputation, competitiveness,
and future research funding.
Past funds have helped individual Ohio State departments and centers to
hire approximately 85 faculty, and researchers to rise to national and
international prominence. These initiatives – and the faculty behind them
– are a tremendous source of pride to the entire university community.
Each of the following links leads to more detailed descriptions of the
funded initiatives, which are grouped by year of award.
