Description
Kickstart Facility Grants are administered by the Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) at The Ohio State University as part of its support for materials-allied research. The program assists Ohio State faculty by covering facility user access fees and related minor charges associated with their research.
The grants provide focused financial assistance for facility use rather than funding a separate scientific theme or prescribed research project. Facility access is central to the program’s purpose, connecting IMR’s materials-allied research mission with support for the specific costs of using research facilities at Ohio State.
