Connecting Across Campus: Building Partnerships...

How has OSU Extension partnered across campus? Through OSU CARES grants, OSU Extension employees in the Colleges of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (FAES) and Human Ecology have partnered with faculty and staff in other departments to create and implement many new community based programs that are impacting Ohioans.

Below are listed Ohio State colleges, and the grants that have partnered Extension professionals with faculty/staff in those colleges. Click on the grant year to find a description of that grant and a listing of the faculty/staff involved with it. This listing may give you ideas on how you can partner. Or perhaps e-mail one of the grant authors and learn more about their work, and possibilities for you to build working relationships with them, or colleagues in their college.
